10 failed celebrity relationships that broke hearts
Celebrities rarely date themselves, hence, when they become a couple, it becomes a big deal for their fans.
Famous people dating themselves birthed so many power couples like Jay Z and Beyonce, Rihanna and A$ap Rocky, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Banky W and Adesua Etomi among others.
Though it’s beautiful to see two stars shine together, it gets to a point where their lights dim or quench in a way that breaks the heart of their fans. Some of these memorable celebrity breakups include the Kimye split and the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie separation.
On this note, here are ten failed Ghanaian celebrity relationships that a of lot fans wish they are still together but they know what is best for themselves, hence, they have gone their separate ways and moving on in life.
1.Amandzeba Nat Brew and Akosua Agyapong
The two Ghanaian music icons once found love and tied to become a family with children. Sadly after fifteen years of marriage, they divorced. The High Life legend speaking about his failed relationship said “if you are going to look at it objectively, I think especially for the women, she is actually very sentimental and very emotional about the little things that we don’t give too much care to. For instance, if I should travel to the United States for just ten days and I’m not able to call back home that’s an issue“.
But according to Akosua Agyapong, “we were married for over 10 years and had four children and you think I would easily call for a divorce because I didn’t hear from him in 10 days? Then it means I am a mean person. Even though I haven’t regretted leaving him I would only say the marriage didn’t go well for us,”
2. Confidence Haugen and Edem
The entrepreneur and media personality was once a girlfriend to rapper Edem. The pair were one of the hottest showbiz couples then but it ended in tears for them. Speaking about the split, the ‘Over’ rapper accused the media of breaking his relationship.
The lovers have moved on. Edem is now married to Stacey Osekere. If you are looking for one of the popular lovers in Ghana who speak publicly about their sexual life, then you can’t go past the Ghanaian rapper and his wife.
The two have been married for over six years now and according to his wife, it has been “6 years of nonstop orgasm“. They have 3 children together after welcoming a lockdown baby.
3.Nana Ama McBrown and Okyeame Kwame
The rapper and actress were one of the cutest celebrity couples. They were loved and fans hoped they marry but they didn’t. In an interview on Accra-based Okay FM, Okyeame Kwame said their relationship was unsuccessful because Nana Ama McBrown had a lot of things going on for her.
According to him, their age difference was a challenge, as Nana Ama McBrown was 2 years older than he was. The rapper is now married to Annica Nsiah Appau and are they blessed with two children.
4.Nadia Buari and Michael Essien
The Ghanaian actress and footballer were the hottest couple in Ghana. They dated within the peak period of Michael Essien’s career, they were spotted at events together and more.

The lovers are one of the celebrity couples that got married but divorced. The son of Ghanaian millionaire and engineer, Safo Kantanka, married Juliet in 2010 and after four years of being together, their marriage came to an end in 2014.
The screen goddess while speaking about what caused their divorce, disclosed that they were young when they married and didn’t consider their backgrounds before tying the knot. “I was 24 years old when we decided to be together so we were very young people,” she said.
The ex-lovers have a son together which they co-parent amicably though Safo Kantanka Jnr has moved on to marry another woman.
8.Afriyie Acquah and Amanda Owusu Acquah
When it comes to head-turning couples, Afriyie Acquah and Amanda Acquah were the best items. They know how to get you looking at them and talking about them whenever they want to.
They made love beautiful and it ended in tears as their marriage was hit with scandals. In leaked audios, Amandy reportedly described the Ghanaian footballer as a monkey to her friends. A nude video she sent to her then-husband leaked.
The brouhaha forced the couple to divorce as both of them accused each other of cheating.
9.Medikal and Sister Derby
Medikal and Sister Derby remain the most talked about celebrity couple in Ghana showbiz.
The rapper and the Ghanaian model/media personality date from 2016 to 2018. In September of that year, the rapper announced that he is now dating actress Fella Makafui.
The news has since sparked a wild conversation of rivalry and comparison between Fella Makafui and Sister Derby and it doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon. Medikal and Fella are now married with a daughter.
Sister Derby has shown off a new boyfriend this year and though it’s been about 4 years since she broke up with the AMG rapper, fans have been comparing her new lover to Medikal.
If you have the power to bring any of these couples back together, which of them would you love to see together again?

Accra is set this weekend as Porials Pitch 2026 makes its highly anticipated return—an event that has rapidly evolved from a social media-driven concept into one of the country most influential retail gatherings.
Set for Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Accra Mall (Ghud Park), the festival will open its doors at 8:00 AM, drawing a mix of bargain hunters, young entrepreneurs, and lifestyle enthusiasts eager to experience what has become a defining moment on Accra’s commercial calendar.
Dulcie Boateng—entrepreneur, influencer, and CEO of Dulcie Porium—whose ability to mobilize audiences both online and offline continues to reshape the local retail landscape. Often dubbed Ghana’s “Snapchat Queen,” Boateng has leveraged her digital influence into tangible economic impact, with Porials Pitch standing as a prime example.
More Than a Market
While at first glance the event may appear to be a conventional pop-up market, Porials Pitch has steadily carved out a niche as a hybrid of commerce, culture, and community engagement. This year’s edition will feature 100 vendors, offering a curated blend of vintage pieces, emerging fashion brands, beauty products, and mainstream goods—many at discounted prices reaching up to 50 percent.
The Business Behind the Buzz
Perhaps the most telling indicator of the event’s momentum lies behind the scenes. Vendor slots for the 2026 edition reportedly sold out in just two minutes, generating approximately GH¢600,000—a figure that speaks not only to demand but also to the growing confidence in influencer-led commerce within Ghana.
A Reflection of a Changing Retail Culture
As Ghana’s urban consumer culture continues to evolve, events like Porials Pitch 2026 highlight a broader shift toward experience-driven retail—where shopping is no longer just transactional but social and immersive.
With free entry and an open invitation to the public, this weekend’s gathering is expected to draw significant crowds, reinforcing Accra’s reputation as a hub for innovation in commerce and youth-driven enterprise.
Whether viewed as a marketplace, a cultural event, or a case study in modern entrepreneurship, Porials Pitch 2026 is poised to once again capture the city’s attention—and its spending power.
