I’m separated, not yet divorced but will be divorced soon – Tima Kumkum

Ghanaian media personality Cynthia Tima Yeboah, popularly known as Tima Kumkum, has confirmed that she is separated from her husband, Dominic Duodu, and that their divorce case is currently before the court.

The revelation ends months of speculation about the status of their marriage, particularly after Tima was repeatedly seen without her wedding ring.

Speaking to actress and media personality Nikki Samonas on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Tima explained that she and Dominic have not lived together since April 1, 2025.

She said she had initially decided not to discuss the matter publicly, but persistent questions and speculation eventually led her to clarify the situation.

“I said I was not going to talk about it. People have been forcing me to say it. I’m separated. Not yet divorced but will be divorced soon. I didn’t want to talk about it but let’s call a spade a spade; we don’t live together since 1st April, 2025. So, I’m partially single because I’m not fully divorced yet but it’s in court so we don’t really want to talk about it,”

Tima Kumkum Confirms Marriage Has Ended

Tima’s comments provide her clearest public confirmation yet that her marriage to Dominic Duodu has broken down.

Although she described herself as “partially single,” she made it clear that the divorce has not yet been completed because the matter remains before the court.

The media personality did not reveal what caused the separation.

She also indicated that she does not intend to discuss the reason for the breakup publicly, even after the divorce process has been completed.

According to Tima, people living around her are already aware that she and Dominic no longer live together, meaning the situation is not new to those close to her.

The Couple Have Lived Apart Since April 2025

Tima revealed that the couple have been living separately since April 1, 2025.

The separation came after the couple had spent about one year and nine months together.

For Tima, the development was particularly difficult because this was her second marriage, and she said she never expected to find herself facing another marital breakup.

Despite the personal nature of the situation, she has chosen to keep many of the details private.

Her decision comes as public figures often face intense pressure to explain changes in their personal lives, especially when their relationships are regularly discussed on social media.

Wedding Ring Sparked Earlier Speculation

Before confirming the separation, Tima Kumkum had already been the subject of speculation online.

Social media users noticed that she had stopped wearing her wedding ring and began suggesting that she and her husband may have divorced.

The speculation continued for some time, prompting Tima to address the rumours through her social media platforms.

At the time, she denied claims that she had divorced her husband and explained why she was no longer wearing the ring.

Her latest comments, however, have now confirmed that the marriage did eventually reach the stage of formal separation and divorce proceedings.

Tima Says She Is Taking Care of Her Children

During the interview, Tima also spoke about her responsibilities as a mother.

She explained that she has been taking care of her children without relying on another man for support.

Her comments came during a discussion about her current relationship status and the whereabouts of her “supposed” husband.

Tima said the people in her community already understand her situation and therefore do not see it as a new development.

She appears determined to focus on her children and personal life while allowing the legal process to take its course.

She Praises Dominic as a Responsible Father

Despite the end of their relationship, Tima Kumkum had positive words for Dominic Duodu when discussing his role as a father.

She acknowledged that he has continued to take responsibility for their child since the couple separated.

“He’s a very responsible man. I’ll give him his flowers for that. He takes care of his child and pays his school fees. That’s fine and I’m okay with that. So, custody is okay,”

Her comments suggest that, despite the difficulties that led to the separation, the couple have been able to maintain an arrangement concerning the care of their child.

Tima’s decision to publicly acknowledge Dominic’s role as a father also shows that the end of their marriage has not prevented her from recognising his responsibilities towards their child.

She Will Not Reveal Why They Separated

One of the biggest questions surrounding Tima’s marriage is what caused the separation.

However, she has made it clear that she does not intend to answer that question publicly.

Even after the divorce is finalised, she said she would not disclose the reason behind the breakup.

For someone who has spent years in the public eye, maintaining that level of privacy can be difficult.

Tima has nevertheless chosen to draw a line between her public career and certain parts of her personal life.

Rather than discussing the details of what happened, she appears more focused on acknowledging the current situation and moving forward.

Tima Says Marriage Is Not on Her Mind

The media personality also addressed the possibility of getting married again.

For now, she has no plans to enter another marriage.

Tima said marriage is currently the last thing on her mind, suggesting that she wants to concentrate on other areas of her life instead.

Her comments come after two marriages and another difficult chapter in her personal life.

Rather than rushing into another relationship, she appears to be taking time to focus on herself and her children.

What Tima’s Comments Mean

Tima Kumkum’s latest revelation brings clarity to months of speculation about her relationship status.

While she had previously rejected claims that she was divorced, she has now confirmed that she and Dominic Duodu have been separated since April 2025 and that their divorce case is before the court.

She has also made it clear that the legal process is not yet complete.

Her description of herself as “partially single” reflects the difference between being separated and being legally divorced.

Until the court process is completed, she remains legally married despite no longer living with her husband.

A Private Chapter in the Public Eye

Tima Kumkum’s situation highlights the challenges public figures can face when dealing with private family matters.

Changes in their relationships can quickly become topics of public discussion, with social media users often drawing conclusions from photographs, appearances and other small details.

In Tima’s case, the absence of her wedding ring became a major source of speculation.

She has now provided an explanation, but she has also asked for privacy around the reasons behind the separation.

For now, she appears ready to allow the court process to continue without turning the details of her marriage into a public debate.

Tima Focuses on the Future

Despite confirming the end of her marriage, Tima Kumkum’s comments were not entirely negative.

She praised Dominic for being responsible towards their child and said she was satisfied with their custody arrangement.

She also made it clear that she does not currently want to think about another marriage.

Her priority appears to be her children, her career and moving forward from a difficult period in her personal life.

As the divorce case continues, Tima has chosen not to reveal further details about what happened between the couple.

For now, her message is straightforward: she and Dominic are separated, their divorce is before the court, and she is ready to focus on the next chapter of her life.
