Basketmouth, who publicly announced his split from Elsie in December 2022, now seems to be embracing new beginnings.

The post from the father of three, who hails from Abia State, has sparked several reactions amongst his fans on social media.

#JohnnyJustCome wrote, “I can bet that the announcement is a promotion for either show or something 😂😂”

Another, popular co-comedian, #OkeBakassi posted, “Congratulations, bro. We are ready 🔥🔥”

#YawNaija said, “Congrats Eze gburugburu🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥at last”

“As the Master of Adverts that you are, I am skeptical about this post 🤔,” #lifeofhunpiya reacted.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Basketmouth celebrated Elsie’s 44th birthday anniversary around September but failed to celebrate their annual wedding anniversary, which usually comes up in November.

Then, Basketmouth wrote, “As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.

“After much deliberations, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.

“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love, guidance and support they need.

“We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times. Thank you,” he said.

He had in a 2021 interview disclosed that he met Elsie while promoting his first show back then, at the University of Lagos
