Chidimma Adetshina: Married and Divorced
Videos and photos of Chidimma Adetshina’s wedding were shared by @MDNnewss on X on Sunday, August 4. “Inside Miss SA pageant Chidimma Adetshina’s traditional wedding,” the news channel announced.
Adetshina confirmed to Sowetan that she recently divorced and is the mother of a one-year-old baby boy.
“I got divorced in February. We were not compatible because he had this ideology of what an African married woman should be. I didn’t want to be stuck cleaning and cooking. As a society, we are way past that phase,” she said.
“My parents have been very supportive. Although my marriage took away the joy of pregnancy and being a wife, it brings me joy to take new steps with my son.”
She also shared that she didn’t expect to be a mom at her age, as her son was conceived out of wedlock.
Briefly reports that the 23-year-old model married and divorced her Nigerian husband within a year. The South African reached out to Adetshina for comment.

Miss SA: Top Nine Finalist
Chidimma Adetshina was recently announced as a Miss SA top nine finalist on Crown Chasers. “I’ve always dreamed of being in Miss SA since 2017, and here I am achieving that goal. To me, being a finalist is like rewriting my mother’s dream of becoming a model. Her father didn’t allow her to pursue modeling, so I feel like I’m living her life, which feels like a beautiful dream come true,” she told Sowetan.
The Miss SA organization reveals that the model is from Soweto, Gauteng, and is studying law at Varsity College.
In about a week, South Africans will witness a new beauty queen being crowned at this year’s Miss SA pageant.
