Alesha Dixon and Azuka Ononye, a couple who have been together for nearly two decades and have two daughters, were said to be recently separated. This developed as reports on Sunday indicated that the 46-year-old singer and TV personality dumped her 43-year-old beau after their relationship allegedly became “more of a friendship.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, were last seen together publicly at Stormzy’s 30th birthday party in 2022. Besides this, the last time they appeared in each other’s social media posts was a long time ago, and the rumor mill has started speculating about their relationship status.
Friends Speak Up
According to The Sun, as quoted from a source, Dixon allegedly told close friends about ending her relationship with the choreographer. “Alesha’s been quietly telling people close to her that she believes their relationship is over and they’re going to separate,” the source claimed. “She and Azuka have been together almost two decades, but their relationship has become more like a friendship.”
Confusion still lingers about the actual condition of their marriage. The majority of reports state they have been married for approximately seven years, but The Sun claimed otherwise by suggesting that they could be unmarried.
A Relationship Founded in Music
Dixon first met with Ononye during her solo music career when he was part of her team while she toured her 2008 album The Alesha Show. Before starting their relationship, Dixon was married to Harvey, a member of So Solid Crew, between 2005 and 2006.
A former member of the girl band Mis-Teeq, Dixon rose to fame as a singer before finding solo chart success. Subsequently, she went into television, sitting as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing between 2009 and 2011, and Britain’s Got Talent since 2012. In more recent times, her time has been consumed by family life and other creative endeavors.
Career and Family Focus
Dixon’s latest social media post reflects her job and her family. This year, she campaigned her single Ransom and the children’s book Luna Wolf: Code Danger. Meanwhile, ononye made a solitary appearance for the premier of the film Wicked at the Royal Festival Hall in London this month. This was one of his rare public appearances without Dixon.
An Evolving Story
The news of their split came as a shock to many due to the long time the couple has been together and the privacy they have maintained over the years. Neither Dixon nor Ononye has responded to the reports publicly, but changes in their public appearance and social media presence have sparked much speculation.
This development marks the new chapter for both of them; that is, Dixon and Ononye. They have been involved significantly in each other’s personal and professional life for nearly two decades.
