On International Women’s Day in 2017, the mother one revealed in a video that she was a victim of domestic violence and was infected with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in her marriage to her estranged husband, Mr. Churchill. Tonto Dikeh also explained that she opted for divorce due to her husband’s infidelity as he was having an affair with Rosaline Meurer, one of her protégés.

This was later confirmed to be true by many online reports.

In the wake of their divorce, news broke in June 2017 that Tonto’s dad had returned the bride price Olakunle Churchill paid during his traditional wedding girlfriend to his former son-in-law. As of now, Dike isn’t married, but she is in a relationship.

“My boyfriend is Muslim. I am dating a Muslim man and I won’t be in a serious relationship with him if I don’t feel I might or could end up with him. For me, it’s not about religion but I think the person,” Tonto Dike revealed in a tell-it-all interview.

Talking about tattoos, Tonto seems to have a special interest in those. She once stated that there are 57 tattoos on her body. She has tattoos in different parts of her body. One of those tattoos bears the name Tee engraved on one of her legs.

Not too long ago, the actor cum singer announced that she had become a Christian born again and expressed her resolution to eliminate all her tattoos.
