Comedian and broadcaster Dr. Ofweneke has opened up about the personal struggles that led to the breakdown of his relationship with Christine Tenderess, candidly admitting that alcohol played a major role.
In an honest interview on Radio 47, Ofweneke took full responsibility for his actions, expressing deep regret over how his lifestyle choices negatively impacted their relationship.
“During that time, I was in the club almost every night,” he confessed. “I lost track of time and sometimes ended up sleeping in lounges.”
He revealed that his excessive drinking made him emotionally unavailable and incapable of maintaining a healthy relationship. Frequently returning home at dawn, he became indifferent and disconnected, creating emotional distance between him and Christine.
“My behaviour never changed,” he said. “She was emotionally drained. I wasn’t present—physically or emotionally. I couldn’t handle even small disagreements. I’d just escape to the club.”
Ofweneke emphasized that he is committed to learning from his past mistakes and urged other men to reflect on how their habits—particularly alcohol use—can damage relationships.
“To be honest, my second marriage failed because of alcohol,” he said. “We couldn’t resolve even the smallest issues. I’d avoid confrontation by drinking instead of having sober conversations.”
He also highlighted a broader issue, pointing out that many relationships fall apart when people fail to take responsibility and instead turn to unhealthy distractions.
Dr. Ofweneke and Christine Tenderess went public with their relationship in 2019, shortly after his split from fellow media personality Niccah the Queen.
Their bond appeared strong, and they got engaged in 2021. However, despite the promising start, the couple separated after three years together.
