After years of separation and public discord, the actress's son, King Andre, has reunited with his father in an emotional moment facilitated by popular clergyman Pastor Jerry Eze.
Dikeh shared the heartwarming reunion on her social media platforms, expressing gratitude and reflecting on what she described as divine intervention.
In a quiet but notable gesture, the actress has reverted her son's surname to Churchill, signalling a new chapter in their co-parenting relationship.
Tonto Dikeh changes son's name again
In 2019, during the height of their separation, Dikeh officially changed her son's name from King Andre Churchill to King Andre Dikeh.
At the time, she publicly declared herself both mother and father to the child, having removed all traces of her ex-husband's name amid their highly publicised split.
However, with peace now restored between the former couple, Dikeh has taken steps that reflect their renewed commitment to co-parenting.
In a recent Instagram post featuring photos of herself, Churchill, and their son, she referred to the child as King Andre Churchill in the caption, confirming the restoration of his father's surname.
