December 22, (THEWILL) – Popular comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has announced the end of marriage to his wife, Elsie Okpocha, after 12 years of marital sojourn.
A statement posted on his social media platforms reads “As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.
“After much deliberation, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage. As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love, guidance and support they need. We humbly ask that you respect our privacy, as we navigate through these times.”
This revelation has thrown friends and admirers of the couple into shock and disbelief.
The couple, only a few months ago, welcomed their third child after Elsie suffered several miscarriages.
