More reactions trail Basketmouth’s new relationship, two years after divorce from Elsie

Popular comedian Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, on Thursday sparked a social media frenzy after announcing that he has concluded plans to embark on a new chapter in his personal life—with his heart set on picking another wife.

This announcement comes two years after his highly publicised separation from his wife, Elsie, with whom he shares three children.

The comedian shared romantic photos with media personality Victoria Eze, igniting speculation about a potential new relationship.

He teased a major announcement, writing, “About to step into the next chapter of my life.

“While some fans expressed excitement, others weren’t as enthusiastic, believing it might be too soon for the comedian to move on publicly.

Several social media users expressed disappointment, feeling that Basketmouth’s public display of affection came too soon after his divorce.

One user commented, “Basketmouth needs to calm down. It’s too early for him to be flaunting a new woman, especially when his ex-wife is still healing.”

Another netizen echoed this sentiment, writing, “Bro, take it slow. Elsie hasn’t even fully moved on, and this might be painful for her to see.”

A third user added, “This is insensitive. The wounds are still fresh, and many of us thought there might still be a chance of reconciliation.”

Earlier this year, rumours circulated online that Victoria Eze, also known as Miz Vick, had played a role in the collapse of Basketmouth’s marriage.

According to reports, Basketmouth and his partner had an affair before their divorce and maintained a close relationship.

According to rumours, the couple is working on a project together, and it’s possible that the movie will depict their love story.

In November 2023, Basketmouth had publicly praised Eze, calling her “the most creative mind” behind his projects, further fuelling rumours of their growing bond.

His admiration for her talent and contributions to his career left some fans wondering if their connection went beyond the professional realm long before his split from Elsie.

Basketmouth officially announced his divorce from Elsie in December 2022, stating that they would peacefully co-parent their children and requested privacy during the difficult transition.

While neither party initially disclosed the reasons for the breakup, Elsie later hinted at infidelity, advising women to recognise that even the most beautiful and caring partners could still be cheated on.

In May, Elsie responded to growing pressure from fans urging her to reconcile with Basketmouth.

She firmly stated that no one enters marriage expecting it to fail, and that for a woman to leave means she had exhausted all efforts to save the relationship.
