After the much talked about divorce from his ex-wife, Katherine Obiang, host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Frank Edoho seems to have moved on, settling down with his new partner, Sandra Onyenaucheya.
Onyenaucheya, we gathered has been Edoho’s lover since 2010 and was the shoulder he cried on while he battled to end his marriage to Katherine.
‘That’s the lady that gave him back his sanity. It wasn’t long before they moved in together. And even when she moved to England for a course, Frank was always travelling to be with her. They bonded quite well and it’s no surprise they took it further’ an insider who asked not to be named told us over the weekend.
None of Edoho’s friends could confirm if the wedding took place recently, or as far back as last year. But we reliably gathered that it was ‘a strictly private affair’.
Eye witnesses say during the recent unveiling of the new Heineken bottle, the ever-dashing host took some time off to introduce Onyenaucheya to the seated audience as his new wife.
That announcement has created a buzz that even Edoho himself could not have anticipated.
Edoho and Katherine caused a similar buzz last year when the news of their imminent divorce went viral. Many had cited that the divorce was factored by domestic violence as against the irreconcilable differences the couple kept mentioning.
Katherine has told friends and few people in the media that Frank, who’s widely loved for his calm and composed TV demeanour has physically assaulted her on many occasions, showing her friends evidences of bruises and cuts. Frank denied the accusations. In March 2011, he vehemently asked journalists to stay clear of his marital life as it was starting to have a negative effect on him and his wife.
Four months later, Frank finally came out with the truth, announcing that he had spilt with his wife and that their separation was irreconcilable.
‘Hi Tweeps! Thanks for all your support. There’s no reconciliation for me on this matter. No more ball-and-chain 4 me.I’ve had it! I’m OUT!’, Edoho replied multiple queries via social networking site Twitter (which seems to be the first place for celebs to release statements) telling all who bothered to listen that he was done with Katherine.
As if to prove that the assault story wasn’t a lie, Katherine last month made the news, after she was featured in a documentary Domestic Violence.
On the documentary, the broadcaster talked about ‘how violence between couples might start and what women should say from the very start is ‘No!’.
Meanwhile, Katherine is yet to be publicly involved in any relationship but has found love with acting, cutting her teeth in the movie, Journey To Self, produced by Ashionye Ugboh-Raccah. This is in addition to her job as a presenter with Nigeria Info FM.
‘Frank still picks the bills for the kids education and upkeep’ one source tells us.
‘But it’s been clear since last year that he has found love again. His friends are happy for him and you’re travel far to see any of them still loyal to Katherine’ the source added.
No immediate details on his wedding, and Mr Edoho did not respond to our enquiries
