Olakunle Churchill, ex-husband of actress, Tonto Dikeh, has knocked down critics who attacked his wife Rosy Meurer for wishing Tonto’s son Andre a happy birthday.
Andre, who clocked six on Thursday was celebrated by Rosy on Instagram.
She, however, came under fire for her posts as trolls criticised for celebrating the child without having a good relationship with his mother.
Reacting to the backlash, Churchill on Friday asked the critics to let his wife breathe, adding that the birthday wish was just a “goodwill post”.
He went on to narrate how much his wife came through for him when he was depressed.
He wrote: “The past few years of my life on this platform were quite tumultuous. Luckily I found my happy place and that’s with Rosy, my wife, which will NEVER change regardless of what anyone concludes, designs, thinks, or wishes.
“Speculations and rumors we know make social media interesting and people have the freedom to cook up stories about us. I can’t change the narrative. People have left their life issues to make other people’s story their priority. Know this: Anyone or anything that is important to me is also important to my wife, Rosy.”
“Looking back at all the problems I faced, I thank God who opened my eyes to see that the Angel for me was around me for a very long time.
“I thank God that helped us go from being very good friends to husband and wife. She is my soldier and my guy, my best friend, the mother of my child, and many other beautiful things. She only made a goodwill post! Let her breathe.”
