Afua Asantewaa has broken her silence on the growing public conversation surrounding her marriage to Kofi Owusu Aduonum, confirming that the relationship has come to an end.
In a statement issued on Saturday, April 4, 2026, she acknowledged the surge of commentary and speculation in recent days, noting that while she understands public interest in her life, the current moment calls for restraint and respect.
She confirmed that the decision to part ways was made privately, after what she described as thoughtful reflection. According to her, both parties have moved on from the union, and she is asking that the transition be handled with sensitivity rather than public scrutiny.
Afua also pushed back against what she described as inaccurate narratives circulating online. She expressed concern over false claims and misinterpretations being shared, stressing that they do not reflect the reality of her situation. She urged the public and media to avoid speculation and allow space for privacy.
Addressing perceptions that have portrayed her as ungrateful, she firmly rejected the characterisation. She emphasized that she remains appreciative of the people, opportunities, and experiences that have shaped her journey, adding that any suggestion to the contrary misrepresents her values and character.
Despite the personal turbulence, she made it clear that her focus remains unchanged. She described herself as committed to growth, purpose, and impact, and reaffirmed her determination to continue pursuing her goals, expanding her work, and contributing meaningfully to society.
She also extended an apology for any misunderstandings that may have arisen from her words or actions during this period, saying any distress caused was unintentional.
Closing her statement, she expressed gratitude to supporters, partners, and the wider public for their encouragement, noting that she is navigating this chapter with resilience and composure while asking for continued understanding.
