On Thursday, May 19, 2022, the couple married. The ceremony was a special fusion of Edo and Calabar cultures.
Rita Dominic
On Saturday, November 26, 2022, at a manor in North Yorkshire, England, veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic, exchanged vows with a prominent publisher, Fidelis Anosike. This occurred seven months after the actress and her husband were legally wedded in a traditional ceremony on April 19, 2022, in Imo State. Numerous notable Nigerians, including Ini Edo, Kate Henshaw, Uti Nwachukwu, Uche Jumbo and Joke Silva attended.
After the wedding, the actress disclosed that the United Arab Emirates’ move to exclude Nigerians and other nations in October nearly destroyed her white wedding.

Actor, Frederick Leonard, and Nollywood actress and model, Peggy Ovire Enoho, got married on Saturday, November 19, 2022, in a traditional marriage ceremony. The grand wedding took place in Warri, Delta State.

Peggy, who was in tears at her traditional marriage, counselled young females to be patient with their boyfriends before later calling their fairy tale love as a miracle in a pre-wedding post. The actress characterised her husband as a devoted and ambitious man.
