Tonto Dikeh recalls her decade-long rift with Churchill and says that their reconciliation turned her personal experience into a tool to help other women.
Dikeh shared this while urging single mothers to let go of hurt and embrace forgiveness for their own peace and healing.
According to the actress, her reconciliation with Churchill prompted several women in similar situations to reach out to her for guidance on how she overcame the pain of their decade-long dispute.
“Ever since my reconciliation with my ex-husband, hundreds of women have reached out asking the same question: How did you learn to forgive?
While I couldn’t reply to everyone, I reached out to those whose pain mirrored my own. Today, to the glory of God, at least 10 women have been reconciled, restoring peace, healing hearts, and stepping into healthy co-parenting. God has truly turned my personal story into a tool for restoration.
If you are carrying bitterness today, please hear this: Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you; it is for you. It is the key to moving your life forward. God will not inflict pain on others just because we are hurting,” she explained
Dikeh added that women who struggle with broken relationships should trust God rather than remain trapped in bitterness.
“True closure doesn’t come from people; it comes from God. He promises to restore the years that the cankerworm has eaten. Not just days or weeks, but years. Every tear you’ve shed and every year spent in pain will be turned into a powerful testimony.”
Dikeh’s message comes months after she announced the end of her long-running feud with Churchill, the father of her son, King Andre.
The former couple got married in 2015, but their marriage collapsed less than two years later.
Their separation became a highly publicised dispute, with both parties involved in several accusations and public exchanges.
Their disagreements also extended to issues around their son, with custody and co-parenting becoming part of the conflict.
After years of hostility, Dikeh announced in January 2026 that she and Churchill had reconciled.
She described the development as the end of 10 years of public battles, deep wounds, broken communication, bitterness, and pain, and credited God with restoring peace between them.
