Sabinus, who tied the knot with Chapman in 2023, insisted that the union ended amicably, and both parties remain on good terms. He emphasized that the well-being of their daughter continues to be a shared priority.
“My marriage ended peacefully. The mum and I are good. My daughter is okay, and she is doing fine,” he said, addressing fans and followers directly during the live session.

“I’m not married. My marriage ended peacefully,” he said. By making this statement publicly, Sabinus sought to correct misinformation that had circulated online and among fans in recent months.
The couple’s separation had been the subject of speculation, despite previous denials by both Sabinus and Chapman. Social media users and entertainment blogs had repeatedly questioned the status of their union, fueled by occasional posts and absences from public appearances together.

Experts note that amicable separations like this, especially among public figures, can help reduce unnecessary stress on children and ensure that both parents remain actively involved in their upbringing. Sabinus’ approach aligns with global recommendations on responsible co-parenting following divorce.
