The couple, who have three children together, made headlines not only for their relationship but also for their messy split.

 Since their divorce, Sonia has become known for her controversial social media presence, where she frequently shares her unfiltered opinions on her failed marriage as well as relationships, lifestyle, and societal norms.

Sonia’s personality and willingness to speak her mind have made her a divisive figure.

 While she has often been admired for her confidence and candor, others view her as overly provocative.

In April this year, Ighalo’s ex-wife was dragged to filth on social media after trolling late Nollywood actor Junior Pope and also accusing her ex-husband of having an affair with another Nigerian actress.

Junior Pope, a famous Nigerian movie star and three other actors were killed on Wednesday, April 10, when their boat capsized in River Niger in Anambra State while on their way back from a movie location.

Amid the tragic news, Ighalo’s ex-wife Sonia, took to social media to dish out her own verbal justice, while dragging the former Super Eagles no.9 into the mix, alleging that her former spouse had an affair with Adanma Luke.

Luke reportedly turned herself in to the police over concerns about what transpired with the late actor who was working on her project.

She was also temporarily suspended from working with colleagues in the industry by the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

Following Sonia’s wild revelation, Nigerians reacted on social media by calling out the ex-WAG and mother of three over her post.

Adesuwa had previously claimed Ighalo cheated on her with a BBNaija female celebrity, a Nollywood actress, and a famous disc jockey (DJ).

The ex-WAG also informed fans that she has since moved on to a new relationship and has kept her partner’s identity a secret ever since.

 Despite the controversies that often surround her, Sonia continues to command a significant following on social media, where her posts regularly spark debates among her fans and critics alike.
