Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has addressed the swirling rumors about a possible romantic relationship with Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, the founder of Trinity House, Lagos. Speculation about their alleged romance gained traction recently, with some suggesting that the two, who have shared a long-standing friendship, might be considering marriage—five years after the tragic passing of Ighodalo’s wife, Ibidunni.
The rumors intensified when controversial blogger Gistlover dropped cryptic hints about a well-known Nollywood actress, famous for her dedication to fitness and long-term single status, supposedly preparing to marry the widowed pastor. While no names were explicitly mentioned, online sleuths quickly pointed to Henshaw, especially after noticing her Instagram follow of Pastor Ighodalo.
As congratulatory messages flooded in, Kate Henshaw appeared unbothered by the gossip. Instead of issuing a direct statement, she took to Instagram to share videos of herself joyfully dancing during a workout session—her signature way of handling controversies with positivity.
She further reinforced her stance through Instagram stories, sharing powerful messages about happiness, the importance of lifting others, and the strength found in silence amid chaos. Pastor Ituah Ighodalo lost his wife, former beauty queen Ibidunni Ighodalo, in June 2020. She passed away suddenly in Port Harcourt at the age of 39, after 13 years of marriage.
Since then, reports have occasionally surfaced about his close friendship with Kate Henshaw, fueling ongoing speculation.
