Sonia LaReina, has announced legal separation from her husband, Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna.

The 27-year-old mother of one announced this latest development in a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday.

“This is a hard letter to write as i am pretty sure I will cry my way through this post. I know i should have said all these a long time ago, but back then, i was just weak and could not think straight because i was busy struggling to make things right the best possible way within and even beyond my capacities.

“A friend of mine asked me the other day if I had written a goodbye letter to my former life, my memories, my ex. When she brought the idea up, I got immediate chills and a touch of anxiety. I wonder why that is.

“I used to have a very different life. I had a husband and a family. I had someone who lived here and i felt loved me full time. I had a future I was counting on. A lifetime of companionship, family vacations, milestones, laughter, and love but all to no avail as i felt deflated for many years and now its all gone.

 

“In the past, I have blogged about stuff as it comes up, but no real goodbyes yet.

“Many times i felt miserable on the inside and cried my life out day and night in my room alone but as time went on, i outgrew the my reality i was passing through the years.

 

“I want to use this medium to thank my ex-husband for not prolonging the hardship and now i have to face the world on my own. Our son will forever be a representation of you in my life.. Thank you for the lessons you taught me over the years. I wasn’t sure what to write, who to write to or what my angle would be.

“But I know who I need to say goodbye to now with certainty.

 

“Lastly, without hate or animosity, i look back at the past five years and all i can do is thank you. Thank you for the good times, for the hard times. Thank you for helping to shape the strong person I am today and for being a part of my life for a small slice of time. ???”

There have been reports of a crack in the marriage since 2018, with Sonia reverting to her maiden name after removing Ogbonna’s name from her Instagram.

IK and Sonia got married in 2015 at a courthouse in Zagreb, Croatia, and they have a son together.
