The manager of soulful singer Simi has dismissed circulating reports that the artiste and her husband, Adekunle Gold, are heading for a divorce, describing the claims as false.
Simi’s manager, Vincent, said the viral rumour—which spread widely across social media—was based on a fabricated document purported to be a divorce petition allegedly filed by Adekunle Gold.
The document, dated February 28, 2026, claimed the couple’s marriage had “irretrievably broken down” and alleged prolonged emotional, financial and professional control. It also requested dissolution of the marriage and joint custody of their child. Some online reports suggested the petition had been filed at the High Court of Lagos State.
Reacting to the circulating document, Vincent said it contained clear signs of forgery and pointed to what he described as technical legal errors.
“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 explained.
The rumour gained traction after old posts attributed to Simi resurfaced, with some users interpreting them as possible signs of marital strain. Adekunle Gold’s recent return to social media after a short break also sparked speculation among fans.
Simi and Adekunle Gold met as friends and collaborators before dating for several years, eventually marrying in January 2019. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Adejare, popularly known as Deja, in 2020.
Earlier in 2026, reports suggested the couple welcomed twins, a development celebrated by fans. They recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary, sharing tributes to each other on social media.
