'It has been brought to my attention that there are persistent rumors and misinformation about my marital status being circulated, and I would like to address certain reconciliation rumors with this statement. Further to the formal notification of the dissolution of marriage made by my solicitors earlier this year. Please note that this has not changed, and I am no longer a part of Christ Embassy aka Believer's LoveWorld or any such organization in any capacity.
