Blossom Chukwujekwu and I are technically still married – Maureen Esisi

Maureen Esisi, the estranged wife of popular actor, Blossom Chukwujekwu has claimed that they are “technically” still married, despite him remarrying.

Their marriage crashed in 2019 and after three years, of their longstanding court and social media battle, Blossom married Pastor Ehinome in June 2022.

Maureen sat down for a chat on an episode of ‘The House Chronicles’ podcast, and she insisted that they are still a couple, legally.

According to her, they were not officially divorced, as she didn’t sign any legal documents. She also accused the actors family of encouraging their separation against her choice.

She recalled calling his mum from time to time and she would urge her not to get a divorce while using the scriptures to buttress her point.

The fashion designer said the separation happened long before it was disclosed to the public, and she was surprised that the same in-laws who often told her to stay were okay when Blossom said he wanted to leave the union.

Maureen said; “I would call his mum, she would give me reasons why we cannot divorce. She would say, ‘It [divorce] is not of the Lord. Don’t worry, he would get better.’ And then, magically, he said he was done. And the same you guys [in-laws] that were telling me every year to stay, how come your son comes up to you that he’s done and surprisingly, you throw God out of the way?

“My separation happened way before it became public. I’m not divorced by books. Technically, we are still married. When you say you’re divorced, it means you’ve signed papers, right?”
