The manager of soulful singer Simi has dismissed reports circulating online that the artiste and her husband, Adekunle Gold, are heading for a divorce.
Simi’s manager, Vincent, described the viral claim as false. He said the rumour was based on a fabricated document presented as a divorce petition allegedly filed by Adekunle Gold.
The document, dated February 28, 2026, claimed that the couple’s marriage had “irretrievably broken down.” It also alleged prolonged emotional, financial and professional control. The purported petition sought dissolution of the marriage and joint custody arrangements for their child. Some online reports suggested it had been filed at the High Court of Lagos State.
Reacting to the circulating document, Vincent pointed to what he described as technical legal errors that showed it was not genuine.
“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide as indicated in the document. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024 (SUIT NO HCL/FC/2024/0178),” he said.
The rumour gained traction after old posts attributed to Simi resurfaced on social media. Some users interpreted them as signs of possible marital strain. Adekunle Gold’s recent return to social media after a short break also fuelled speculation among fans.
Simi and Adekunle Gold met as friends and collaborators before dating for several years. They got married in January 2019 and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Adejare, popularly known as Deja, in 2020.
Earlier in 2026, the couple were reported to have welcomed twins, a development that was widely celebrated by fans. They recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary and shared tributes to each other online.
