The estranged wife of Nigerian singer, Sidney Esiri also known as Dr Sid, Simi Esiri, has confirmed the end of their five-year-old marriage.

Simi took to her Instagram page this morning and confirmed they are heading for a divorce and moving forward as co-parents.

In her statement, Simi also reacted to reports that she was violent towards Dr Sid in their marriage and that she has stopped him from seeing their two daughters, Sydney and Sarah.

Read her statement below:

“The news about the collapse of the marriage first made headlines three years ago, after Simi reportedly moved out of their home and was spotted without her wedding ring.”

Reports said the marriage reportedly crashed due to Dr Sid’s financial status at the time.

However, in 2018, the couple were spotted at Dolapo Oni’s baby’s dedication.

Simi and Dr. Sid married in 2014.

The marriage produced two children.
