Anita Okoye, wife of celebrated artist Paul Okoye a.k.a Rudeboy, has initiated legal moves to divorce her husband.

Although details of the shocking separation is yet to be clarified, a picture of the official application for divorce surfaced online stating that the couple’s separation is based on “irreconcilable differences.”

The couple had dated for 10 years before getting married in 2014.
Anita and Rudeboy have three children together.
Paul Okoye was in the popular music duo group P Square, alongside his twin brother Peter Okoye. The duo unfortunately parted ways and went solo over irreconcilable family issues.
