Ore Oduba and Portia Oduba Have Parted Ways

Split alert! Ore Oduba and Portia Oduba are no longer a married couple. Former Strictly Come Dancing winner, 38, announced his separation from his wife Portia via Instagram post on Thursday, October 17.

The post reads,

“Hi guys. Portia and I are sad to announce that we separated earlier this year. We are so grateful for all the love you’ve shared with us both over the years, and we want to thank you in advance for respecting our privacy as we navigate this difficult transition. We will be making no further comment.”

The estranged couple shared two children Roman, 6, and Genie, 3. They called it quits on their marriage after nine years of togetherness.

Ore and Portia first crossed paths during their college years at Loughborough University in 2010. After nearly five years of dating, the couple decided to take the next step in their relationship and married in 2015. Their family expanded with the arrival of their first child, a son named Roman, in 2018. Three years later, they welcomed their second child, a daughter named Genie.

Ore and Portia Oduba: Trouble in Their Relationship?

Although Ore Oduba and Portia Oduba took months to publicly announce their separation, signs of trouble in their marriage had been evident for some time. Rumors of their split began circulating when they stopped sharing pictures together on social media over a year ago.

Last month, Portia significantly changed her appearance by cutting her long blonde hair into a trendy fringe. She looked amazing as she showcased her new hairstyle in a series of selfies after “joining the fringe club.”

In her post, she wrote,

“I’ve joined the fringe club…Extensionsshade 18/22”

Many fans commented that her transformation indicated her split from Ore. One fan noted,

“Definitely separated then, changing hair is such a thing that women do! You look absolutely stunning, I hope it helps you to feel more like yourself.”

Meanwhile, others left supportive messages praising her beauty, with comments like “stunning” and “beautiful.”

Some eagle-eyed fans also questioned the status of their relationship last November when Ore celebrated his 38th birthday without Portia by his side. He posted a photo of himself alone posing in front of a white and blue balloon arch ahead of his joint birthday party with a friend.

In his post, he penned,

“Anyone who knows me knows I’m not the biggest fan of birthdays… other people’s yes, mine not so much. But I LOVED this one”

Fans quickly flooded the comments with questions about Portia’s absence. One wrote,

“Was your wife there!?”
