Gifty initially denied being the woman shown in the footage and apologised publicly on behalf of her family.

Days later, Gifty announced during her own TikTok Live session on September 10, 2026, that she had divorced Oteele following the leaked video scandal.

Gifty tells Oteele she still loves him

Gifty had been living away from the couple's home since a viral leak of an alleged private video showing Oteele with another woman.

During the live session, she addressed her husband directly and told him she still loved him despite everything that had happened.

According to her comments on the broadcast, she planned to return home soon, marking a dramatic shift from her earlier stance confirming their divorce.

Gifty's declaration marked a significant turn in a saga that had included a public divorce announcement just days earlier.

Fans who had grown used to tension between the pair reacted with visible surprise as she spoke warmly about reconciliation.

Thousands of viewers tuned in to watch the couple address their troubles together, with reports indicating that about 10,000 people followed the session.

Beyond declaring her love, Gifty pushed Oteele to treat the scandal as a wake-up call. Correcting his ways, she said, would matter more than any apology he had offered so far.
