In a statement, Afua Asantewaa said:
"I wish to formally confirm that my husband and I are no longer together. This decision was reached privately and with careful consideration, and I kindly request that this transition be treated with the sensitivity it deserves."
Her statement came days after she stated online that they were not staying together and went on to disclose some issues she claimed led to their separation.
However, she said some speculations in the public were misleading and inaccurate.
"It has come to my attention that certain false claims and misleading interpretations have been circulated. I would like to categorically state that many of these assertions are inaccurate and do not reflect the truth of the situation."
She called on the public and media to desist from speculating on false claims. Afua Asantewaa also addressed public perceptions, suggesting she had been ungrateful to individuals and institutions that supported her journey, firmly rejecting such characterisations.
"I also wish to address the perception that I have been ungrateful. Let me be clear: I am, and have always been, deeply appreciative of every individual, opportunity, and experience that has contributed to my journey."
Afua Asantewaa reaffirmed her commitment to her professional and advocacy work, stating that she remains focused on her goals and determined to continue making meaningful contributions to society.
The statement finally apologised to anyone who misunderstood her comments or was concerned by the recent developments. She also expressed her gratitude to those who supported her in these times.#
