Nollywood actor Ikechukwu Mitchel Ogbonna, popularly known as IK Ogbonna, has announced his engagement to colleague Ego Nwosu after sharing a video of his marriage proposal on Instagram.
The actor posted the romantic clip on Monday, writing the caption, "One step, one promise, one lifetime." In the video, Ogbonna wore a black outfit and a stylish hat as he went down on one knee to present Nwosu with a ring. The actress, dressed in a red and pearl-adorned outfit, appeared surprised amidst floral decorations, according to Opitan Global Media.
The public reveal comes after several days of romance rumours circulating on the internet. Nwosu had earlier shared intimate pictures of a mystery man on her Instagram Story, which observant fans quickly matched to Ogbonna through visible tattoos before the images were removed. There were also unconfirmed sightings of the two actors spending time together in Port Harcourt.
While many colleagues and supporters have sent congratulations to the couple, some observers online have questioned the authenticity of the gesture, debating whether the cinematic setting could be a promotional scene for an upcoming movie project. Neither Ogbonna nor Nwosu has officially shared details concerning a wedding date or ceremony arrangements.
The development marks another high-profile chapter in Ogbonna’s personal life. The movie star was previously married to Colombian model Sonia Morales, with whom he tied the knot in 2015 and shares a son named Ace, before the two divorced.
Nwosu has featured in a variety of Nollywood productions, including the film Fine Wine. Fans are now eagerly watching to see whether the actors will officially announce wedding dates in the coming weeks.
