By Damilola Akinwale –

Nollywood actor Ikechukwu Ogbonna, popularly known as IK Ogbonna, has announced his proposal to actress Ego Nwosu, fuelling speculation about their romantic relationship.

The actor announced the engagement via his Instagram page on Monday, sharing a video capturing the moment. He accompanied it with the caption, “One step, one promise, one lifetime”.

The footage showed Ogbonna dressed in a dinner suit, leading Nwosu, who wore an embroidered red dinner gown, into a decorated room before going down on one knee to propose. The actress appeared visibly excited by the gesture.

The proposal followed growing speculation about their relationship after Nwosu shared a romantic video featuring an unidentified man in a now-deleted post. Social media users linked the man to Ogbonna, citing similarities between their tattoos.

Ogbonna’s post attracted congratulatory messages from colleagues and well-wishers. Singer Peter Okoye, popularly known as Peter PSquare, wrote, “Welcome to the real world, my bro! Remain blessed,” while actress Ini Edo wrote, “Awwwww, congratulations, bestie. Love is indeed a beautiful thing”.

However, some users questioned the authenticity of the engagement, citing comments from other celebrities. Actress Bimbo Ademoye wrote, “Conjugal bliss o. Toh”, while Yomi Casual, a close associate of Ogbonna, responded with three clapping emojis, fuelling speculation that the proposal might have been staged for a movie production.

Neither Ogbonna nor Nwosu had addressed the speculation as of the time of filing this report, leaving the status of the engagement unclear.

Ogbonna was previously married to Colombian model Sonia Morales. The former couple tied the knot in 2015 before their marriage ended in divorce. They share a son, Ace Ogbonna.
