Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has cried out over the overwhelming influx of romantic proposals she has been receiving on social media, revealing that she gets over 100 direct messages (DMs) a day from male suitors. This sudden rush of digital attention comes barely a week after the 40-year-old movie star officially confirmed the crash of her marriage to her younger husband, Bobby Maris.
Taking to her Instagram page, a bewildered Ogbodo questioned the sudden and aggressive interest from men, noting that she has been flooded with romantic advances since making her single status public. In her characteristically expressive manner, she pleaded with the overzealous suitors to give her some breathing room.
“Nah wah ooooo!. It’s like all these men I’ve been looking for are trying to get to me, ‘cos what in the heaven is going on in my DM,” she wrote. “Guys make unah Chill ooo! I’m not searching yet! Let me breathe 1st Ogini nu! 100 dms a day is too much for me.”
The Enugu State-born actress had earlier made headlines on July 8, 2026, when she confirmed her split from Bobby Maris after eight years together. In a series of emotional posts, she expressed her deep fatigue with the relationship, referring to her ex-husband as a “princess” and stating that she was tired of keeping up appearances for the sake of societal expectations. Following their mutual decision to unfollow each other on social media, Ogbodo emphasized that she wants to focus entirely on healing and finding her own peace before even considering entering a new relationship.
