IVD, Blessing CEO’s Fiance, Laments Years-Long Separation from His Five Children

Popular Nigerian auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, widely known by his moniker IVD, has broken his silence on the deep emotional distress he’s experiencing due to being cut off from his five children for more than three years.

Speaking candidly on The Honest Bunch podcast, IVD disclosed that he has been estranged from his children against his will and has not had any form of contact with them since their separation. He expressed profound concern for their current welfare and overall well-being, emphasizing the emotional toll this has taken on him.

“My five children were taken away from me. Till this very moment, I haven’t laid eyes on them. It’s been over three years now and I have no clue how they are doing. I don’t even get to speak with them on the phone,” IVD stated with visible pain.

The businessman alleged that his late wife’s family has completely severed his connection with his children, effectively isolating him from them. Despite this heartbreaking ordeal, IVD shared that he has found some level of peace and emotional stability through his relationship with his new partner, the well-known relationship coach and therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO.

When asked during the interview about circulating rumors that he has been unfaithful in his relationship with Blessing CEO, IVD passionately refuted the accusations.

“God forbid. I swear with my life,” he declared, firmly asserting his loyalty and faithfulness to his current partner.

It is important to recall that IVD’s previous marriage ended tragically when his wife, Bimbo, died in a devastating fire incident at their Lekki residence in October 2022. Their marriage, which spanned 16 years, was reportedly riddled with intense domestic disputes, with mutual allegations of abuse and misconduct.
