Netizens Criticize Actress Peggy Ovire’s Response to Husband Frederick Leonard’s Birthday Post (DETAIL)

Actress Peggy Ovire found herself in the spotlight after netizens criticized her response to a heartfelt birthday message from her husband, popular Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard.

Today marks Peggy’s birthday, and Leonard took to Instagram to celebrate his wife with a sweet message, writing:

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. Bebesky 🎉🥂
@peggyovire
I Love You. ❤️”

However, Peggy’s response—”Thank you, I love you”—was quickly called out by some fans who found it lacking in warmth and enthusiasm.

While some netizens brushed off the exchange as nothing out of the ordinary, others speculated that the couple, who are often viewed as one of Nollywood’s favorite celebrity pairs, might be experiencing issues in their relationship.

Critics took to the comments section, with one user writing, “She could have been more expressive. That response felt cold,” while another said, “Is everything okay between them? This doesn’t feel like the Peggy we know.”

Despite the online buzz, neither Peggy nor Frederick has addressed the speculation. Fans of the couple are hoping the exchange is simply being overanalyzed, as the two have been known for sharing loving moments publicly in the past.

For now, Peggy continues to receive an outpouring of birthday wishes from her fans and fellow celebrities.
