Social media influencer, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has announced her separation from celebrity auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, also known as IVD, 19 months after their engagement.
The influencer disclosed the breakup during a TikTok live session, saying she had decided to end the relationship following repeated calls from her fans to leave her partner.
Blessing, who described herself as a single mother and an unmarried woman, said she was ready to move on and rebuild her life.
She also indicated that she was open to new relationships, provided interested suitors could meet her financial expectations.
“Somebody asked if IVD and I are still together. No, we are no longer together. We have broken up. Is that not what you guys want? These days, I like to respect my fans. Everybody says, ‘Leave IVD. He is not good for you. He brought you bad luck.’ I have left him. Let me pick up the pieces of my life,” she said.
She added, “So, I am back on the streets as a single mother and a single girl. You can see I went to do my hair. I am trying to maintain my beauty. I am single. Those of you who want to apply, feel free to apply in my DM, and make sure you have money. Anyone who wants to date IVD, feel free. Right now, I am in the market. I cannot be in a relationship that would kill me.”
The couple got engaged in April 2025.
Their separation announcement came days after they publicly apologised for their past actions and utterances.
IVD was previously married to Bimbo Ogbonna, who died in October 2022 amid allegations of domestic violence.
The circumstances surrounding her death generated controversy, with members of her family accusing the auto dealer of being responsible.
In 2023, the Lagos State Government charged IVD with involuntary manslaughter over his late wife’s death.
However, the auto dealer later claimed that Bimbo was violent during their marriage.
