Written by While 2023 was a fantastic year for some people, it was a living nightmare for others as well especially the celebrities.
Although some people were occupied with discovering love, others found themselves in relationships that ended in dumps or breakups.
Here is a list of famous people who called it quits in 2023.
Nicah, the Queen, and DJ Slahver
After being engaged for a while, the couple ended their engagement in late 2023.
“Slahver and I have chosen to part ways after much deliberation. We are incredibly grateful for the affection that you have shown us. Tunawapenda,” Nichah declared.
She congratulated him on his birthday just two days before she broke up with him.
Vera Sidika and
Everyone eventually warmed up to this marriage, which was considered by many because no one had anticipated it.
Brown Mauzo and Vera Sidika Mung’asia, who had been dating for approximately three years, announced their breakup on August 30, 2023.
Vera became pregnant with their first child later in 2021 after they were married in August 2020.
Rumors of their breakup began circulating in April, and Brown Mauzo finally confirmed the split on August 30th in a statement she released online.
Supposedly a joint statement between the two, Vera later confirmed it. They were blessed with two children and decided to end their relationship.
Actress Kate and Phil Karanja
In a joint statement, the two confirmed their split on September 19th, 2023.
They tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony at London’s Windsor Hotel in 2017 and honeymooned in the Seychelles.
The marriage of Phil Karanja and Catherine Kamau (aka Kate), an actress, ended after six happy years. Their union bore a single child.
Despite internet speculation that they broke up earlier this year, the couple denied the rumors by releasing a video of themselves together, proving that they were still very much involved in their private lives.
The couple pledged to remain friends, business partners, and co-parents.
Akothee and Omosh
While on their honeymoon, Akothee left her husband Omosh. She confirmed this during a live session on her social media, she confirmed this.
“It is no longer an issue for me. Its existence has been terminated. The reason I’m telling you this is because I ended that relationship in June. I will refrain from providing specifics, though.
My marriage and wedding were both wonderful experiences for me. I am completely free of remorse. “I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t have any regrets if things went wrong, so I had my wedding on my birthday.” Akothee remarked.
“If our relationship isn’t meant to be, I will not make any excuses. That was unsuccessful. It was effective for a short while, but I was unable to attend when the mask came off. For what purpose was I lingering there? I was already planning my departure when you stopped seeing Denis on my social media platforms.” She added.
Cardi B and Offset
Cardi revealed that she and Travis have been living apart for some time. She assured her supporters and admirers that she had planned to break the news of the split earlier, but had been at a loss as to how to do it.
The singer-songwriter divulged all of this during an Instagram Live session, where she informed her millions of followers that she has been “single for a minute now.”
In the past few minutes, I have been unattached. The rapper began by saying, “But I’ve been afraid…not afraid, I just don’t know how to tell the world…
Over the preceding few days, she had felt an overwhelming desire to share that baggage and clarify things, but she had been unable to do so…well, at the time.
The rapper did not divulge how long she and the ex-Migos bandmate were apart, but she did disclose that they had split. How many weeks? Just one month? How soon after his unfounded accusations of infidelity did it happen?
I was going to tell you all when I was last on Live, but I was at a loss for words, so I opted not to. However, Cardi noted that the situation had persisted for some time.
She continued by saying that one of her goals for the new year was to begin 2024 with an open mind and a flood of possibilities, like a blank slate.
My God, is it that terrible? She seems to be implying that mending fences is not an option.
In 2024, I want to begin with a clean slate. You have no idea. In an interview, the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper expressed his desire for a fresh start and a better life.
Masekele, Lupita Nyong’o
The romance between Lupita Nyong’o, a Kenyan actress and Selema Masekela, an award-winning musician, has ended.

After being public with their romance for nearly a year, the couple has now separated up.
On October 19, 2023, Lupita took to social media to announce the split. In December 2022, the couple announced their romance to the world.
J. Blessing and Avril
“Let it be known that I did not triumph over her. Neither am I a supporter of violence, and I am not an abuser. Like everyone else, I have messed up at some point in my life. To ensure that these kinds of things don’t happen again, Avril and I have decided that we should both avoid each other.” J. Blessing stated.
Jackie Matubia and Blessing Lung’aho
