Peggy Ovire Addresses Dating Rumours After Viral Video with Kachi Nnochiri

Nigerian actress Peggy Ovire has broken her silence after a video of her arriving at an event with colleague Kachi Nnochiri sparked speculation online.

In the widely shared clips, the pair were seen dressed in coordinated purple outfits, believed to be asoebi for the occasion. Kachi was captured holding Peggy’s arm as they walked into the venue, a moment that quickly fueled rumours of a possible romance.

Social media users wasted no time drawing conclusions, with some alleging that Kachi might be her new partner. Others accused her of moving on too quickly amid reported issues in her marriage to Frederick Leonard.

Responding to a post that described Kachi as her lover, Peggy dismissed the claims outright. She clarified that Kachi is happily married and explained that he was merely assisting her because of the high heels she was wearing.

Her reaction triggered mixed responses online. While some defended her, noting that attending an event with a colleague should not automatically lead to dating rumours, others maintained that public figures will always face speculation.

The development comes amid unconfirmed reports of a rift between Peggy and Frederick Leonard — claims that initially surfaced through activist Stanley Ontop.

Despite the buzz, Peggy has made it clear that there is no romantic relationship between her and Kachi, dismissing the viral claims as baseless assumptions.
