April 11, (THEWILL) – Barely two weeks after Blessing Boma Douglas, estranged wife of Soji Jacobs, son of Nollywood actress Joke Silva, revealed that her marriage had collapsed, findings by THEWILL reveal that there is more to it than she let on. According to sources, Blessing endured a series of domestic violence while her marriage lasted and even went as far as documenting her bitter experience in a book she published on domestic violence, although the content didn’t exactly indicate that she was the victim.
THEWILL gathered that the union actually packed-up more than a year ago, but this was hidden from the media because of the status of her mother in-law whom many looked up to as a role model. It was also alleged that Blessing moved out of her matrimonial home after she couldn’t take the heat again and she has been living as a single mother ever since. She also deleted everything that has to do with her former husband from her social media space and reverted to her maiden name, which prompted her fans to ask, during a question and answer session on Instragram Live, if she was still married and she responded in the negative.
In a dramatic twist, Blessing changed her mind and said she was still happily married to Soji Jacobs. She made it known that her first outburst was a sarcastic response to people who were making insensitive inquiries about her marriage. She also revealed that her initial post about her marriage was just for fun. Being a jovial and playful person, she claimed that she decided to humorously respond just to appease her fans. But she was shocked that they took her response seriously and the news traveled faster than what she expected. She also revealed that she would be cautious in her public interaction hence forth. There are speculations that members of her family and her friends pleaded with her to change her narrative so as to avoid hurting the Jacobs.
