Tanzanian musician Benard Paul Mnyang’anga aka Ben Pol has asked for privacy after filing for divorce from his wife Anerlisa Muigai barely a year after their wedding.
The singer took to Instagram on Friday and asked his fans and followers for privacy at this time when he is going through a divorce process from Keroche Heiress.
In a long Instagram caption, Ben Paul’s management confirmed that indeed the divorce process is ongoing but did not give any further details terming it as a ‘very private matter’.
“At this time, Ben Pol would like to confirm that his divorce proceedings are in progress at the primary court but have not yet been finalized. These proceedings are a very private matter and he will not discuss any details out of respect for all parties involved. He kindly asks that space and privacy be given to him and his family during these challenging times,” the Instagram post read.
This comes days after she posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story saying she does not want to be associated with anyone and that her main focus was her career and her peace and that she does not want to be associated with anyone.
“I would like to make it clear that I signed whatever was needed to be signed and I do not wish to be associated with anyone. My focus right now is my career & my peace” her post read.
Her message came weeks after it was rumored that her Tanzanian husband had filed for divorce.
A few days later she was spotted without her wedding ring.
She then scrapped off her husband’s name on her social media bio, and removed the title, ‘Wife to Ben Pol’.
A week ago, she also dropped Ben Pol’s official name “Mnyang’anga” from her social media platforms where she used to identify herself as “Anerlisa Muigai Mnyang’anga”.
The Keroche heiress adopted Ben Pol’s name back in January this year, months after their private wedding.
She has also unfollowed her husband on the platform.
The two tied the knot in May 2020 at St Gaspar Catholic Church in Mbezi Beach, Tanzania.
