‘Relationship shouldn’t kill me’ — Blessing CEO splits from IVD after 19-month engagement
Blessing CEO, IVD are engaged
Blessing Okoro, the social media influencer popularly known as Blessing CEO, has announced the end of her relationship with celebrity car dealer IVD.
The pair got engaged in April 2025.
During a TikTok live session, Blessing said she chose to walk away after her fans repeatedly urged her to leave, adding that she “can’t be in a relationship that would kill me”.
The influencer described herself as a single mother and a single woman, saying she is ready to rebuild her life and keep up her appearance.
She also invited interested suitors to apply via her direct messages, stressing that they must have money.
“Somebody asked if IVD and I are still together. No, we are no longer together. We have broken up. Is that not what you guys want? These days, I like to respect my fans. Everybody says, ‘Leave IVD. He is not good for you. He brought you bad luck.’ I have left him. Let me pick up the pieces of my life,” she said.
“So, I am back on the streets as a single mother and a single girl. You can see I went to do my hair. I am trying to maintain my beauty. I am single. Those of you who want to apply, feel free to apply in my DM, and make sure you have money. Anyone who wants to date IVD, feel free. Right now, I am in the market. I cannot be in a relationship that would kill me.”
Blessing’ remarks come days after the pair issued a public apology for their past mistakes in words and actions.
IVD, born Ikechukwu Ogbonna, was married to Bimbo Ogbonna before she died in October 2022 under controversial circumstances, with many accusing him of domestic abuse.
In 2023, the Lagos state government charged him with involuntary manslaughter in connection with her death. Bimbo’s sister also accused him of killing her at their Lekki residence.
Last year, IVD claimed Bimbo was domestically violent during their marriage.
