Andre, the son of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh and her estranged husband, Olakunle Churchill, has entered a new phase in his life following a long-awaited reconciliation between his parents, marking their first public reunion in nearly a decade.
Both Dikeh and Churchill took to Instagram during the week to share touching photos and videos capturing joyful moments spent with their son. The clips showed scenes of laughter, bonding, shared meals, and relaxed family interaction, reflecting a renewed sense of unity.
In an emotional post, Churchill expressed gratitude and pride, describing the reunion as deeply fulfilling. “After many years, my eyes have finally met my son and my heart is full,” he wrote, praising Dikeh for raising Andre with love, discipline, and strong values. He also thanked Pastor Jerry Eze for spiritual guidance and support, adding that the experience left him feeling grateful, restored, and humbled.
Dikeh, in her reaction, described the reunion as an act of divine restoration. “God has a way of rewriting stories men thought were over. This is grace speaking,” she wrote, emphasizing that time could not erase what God had ordained.
In a symbolic gesture that highlighted the renewed family bond, the actress publicly referred to her son as “Andre Churchill,” a shift from the surname “Dikeh,” which she had used for nearly 10 years following her separation from Churchill.
The reconciliation follows Dikeh’s recent announcement that she and her former husband had resolved their long-standing differences, bringing an end to years of public disputes, silence, and legal battles over custody and personal matters.
Dikeh and Churchill married in 2015, but their union collapsed less than two years later amid allegations and intense public controversy. Their highly publicized fallout made the recent reunion a rare moment of calm and a major turning point in one of Nigeria’s most closely followed celebrity family stories.
