Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo, has called on bloggers to live her family alone amid reports that she has divorced her US-based Puerto Rican husband, Kenney Rodriguez.

The 37-year-old actress made the call in an Instagram post on Tuesday following reports that her husband was in a relationship with a 22-year-old American student named Teresa.

After ignoring reports about a purported divorce in the past, the actress said she could not look away at the latest story.

“I find your need to create mirage tales of rancor where there are none in chase of a story/news outrageous,” she wrote.

“There is no story here except a woman trying to balance her family life and work in two countries.

“Please leave my family out of your manufactured made up stories, there are more important stories, real issues in world people are worried about than little old me.”

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything. Dear Nigerian Bloggers If YOU are going make up stories about my life or marriage try FACTS. Normally I will look at this stupid trending story on me today and look the other way but not TODAY!!! ENOUGH!!!!!! I find your need to create mirage tales of rancor where there are none in chase of a story/news outrageous.There’s no story here except a woman trying to balance her family life and work in 2 countries. Please LEAVE my FAMILY out of your manufactured made up stories, there are more important stories, real issues in world people are worried about than little old me. My only social media cover-up is pretending You “Zero journalistic ethics” people didn’t hurt me by your unfounded and non factual stories. News flash: Marriages in the United States are public record.

Speculation about trouble in Uche’s marriage began after pictures of Rodriguez and his alleged mistress went viral on social media.

The Games Men Play actress fuelled the speculation when she deleted her husband’s photos and removed her last name on Instagram.

Uche and Rodriguez got married secretly in 2012.

Their son, Matthew Rodriguez, was born in 2015.
