Andre, the son of popular actress, Tonto Dikeh, has entered a new chapter in his life following a reconciliation with his father, Olakunle Churchill, marking their first public reunion in nearly a decade.
Both Dikeh and Churchill took to Instagram during the week to share heart-warming photos and videos from time spent together with their son. The clips captured moments of laughter, bonding and shared meals, reflecting a relaxed and joyful family atmosphere.
Expressing his emotions, Churchill wrote, “After many years, my eyes have finally met my son and my heart is full. Seeing my dear son growing well, God-fearing, disciplined and well cared for fills me with pride and peace. His mother has done an incredible job raising him with love and intention. For that, I commend her greatly.”
He also expressed gratitude to Pastor Jerry Eze for his spiritual guidance and support, adding, “Today, I stand as a proud father; grateful, restored and humbled. God is always faithful.”
Reacting to the reunion, Dikeh also shared a reflective post on Instagram, writing, “God has a way of rewriting stories men thought were over. This is grace speaking and hearts for Jesus obeying. Time could not cancel what God ordained. Restoration has a voice, and today it spoke.”
Beyond the emotional reunion, the moment marked a symbolic shift in Andre’s identity. The actress publicly referred to her son as “Andre Churchill”, instead of “Andre Dikeh” that she had previously used for nearly 10 years following her separation from Churchill.
The development follows Dikeh’s recent announcement that she and her former husband had resolved their long-running rift, bringing closure to years of public tension, silence, and disputes over custody and personal matters.
Dikeh and Churchill got married in 2015, but their union collapsed less than two years later amid allegations and legal battles. Their fallout played out publicly for years, making the recent reconciliation a rare moment of calm and a significant turning point in one of Nigeria’s most closely followed celebrity family sagas.
