Nigerians have identified the woman seen with popular Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard amid ongoing rumours surrounding his marriage to actress Peggy Ovire.
The controversy escalated after Peggy publicly called out her estranged husband in a series of posts shared via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
In the posts, the actress accused Leonard of deliberately delaying their ongoing divorce proceedings and alleged that he was involved in a relationship with a married woman who has children.
As part of her claims, Peggy shared a video showing Frederick Leonard attending comedian Funnybone’s comedy show in Lagos alongside the woman.
She also reposted a cryptic message she had originally shared in February 2026, where she questioned whether any woman should remain in a marriage when her husband is allegedly involved with a married woman who was initially introduced as a “friend.”

Nigerians Identify the Woman
Following Peggy’s allegations, social media users quickly began investigating the identity of the woman seen with the actor.
Many eventually identified her as Angel Nikky and flooded her Instagram page with comments and questions regarding the allegations.
Amid the growing attention, Angel Nikky reportedly restricted comments on her social media account.
Mixed Reactions Online
The development sparked widespread reactions from social media users, with many expressing support for Peggy while others cautioned against drawing conclusions without verified facts.
Some commenters questioned the nature of the friendship between Leonard and the woman, while others argued that private marital issues should not be publicly debated.
The controversy has continued to generate discussion online, although neither Frederick Leonard nor Angel Nikky has publicly addressed the allegations.
Peggy Removes Husband’s Name
The situation has further fueled speculation after Peggy Ovire removed “Leonard” from her Instagram profile and reverted to using only her maiden name.
The move led many fans to believe that the couple’s marriage may have officially reached its end, although neither party has released a formal statement regarding the status of their relationship.
For now, the allegations remain unverified, and public attention continues to focus on the ongoing drama surrounding the Nollywood couple.
