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.

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,”

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.

Miss Tourism Ghana contestants battle out on Debate and Culture Night

Miss Tourism queens displaying thier culture

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.

The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.

The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.

For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.

It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features. 

They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.

On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.

 They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.

After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.

They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.

The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.

The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
