Read more and find out if they are really not together anymore or maybe they finally reconciled.
Ubi and Lilian’s relationship timeline
Before marrying Lilian, Ubi Franklin reportedly dated his protégé Emma Nyra, who later accused him of physical and verbal abuse, which was the reason she left his music label. Franklin denied these rumors, saying that while he and Emma had a romantic relationship in the past, there was no misunderstanding between them, and adding that he put a lot of money in her career for nothing, as she did not become as popular as he expected. He also revealed that Emma was cheating on him and this was the true reason for their breakup.
Emma Nyra’s accusations happened when Ubi Franklin was already dating Lilian Esoro, and his new girlfriend seemingly got upset with these words of his ex because she called off the engagement. However, a few months later the couple reconciled and appeared in public together.
In August 2015, they had a court wedding, and then, two months later, they exchanged their vows at the traditional wedding in Magodo, at Lilian’s family home.

Lilian Esoro and Ubi Franklin break up: rumors or truth?
In October 2016, a year after their marriage, the fans, and media noticed that Lilian did not appear with Ubi at the opening ceremony of his newest business venture. This caused the rumors that the celebrity couple had divorced. However, the media were unable to prove the gossips.
A few days later, Ubi posted a heartfelt confession about his and Lilian’s wedding anniversary. He called their wedding the happiest moment of their life and called Lilian the best wife and the most caring mother to their little son. He also confessed his love for her, saying that their union will last and continue growing in the future through thick and thin. Everyone was expecting Lilian to react to the post or to post something similar in return, but instead of acknowledging their wedding anniversary, she decided to post a photo with her sisters and beauty tips for women. This made media speculate even more about the problems in their relationship.
Afterwards, the fans noticed that Lilian unfollowed Ubi on her social media, and she did not express her love for him anymore as she used to do. Her new posts were mostly about self-care and devotion to God. She also posted a few quotes which could possibly refer to her breakup with Ubi Franklin. Lilian removed his last name from her social media, becoming just Lilian Esoro instead of Lilian Esoro Franklin. In addition to that, she deleted all the photos of her and Ubi's wedding. During her public appearances, fans noticed that she stopped wearing her wedding ring.
There have been reports that Ubi Franklin cheated on Lilian Esoro, and this is the true reason for her being mad at him. This would also explain why he tried to reach out to her so desperately. But there were no official confirmations of these gossips. Besides, some sources speculated about Lilian not being truly in love with Ubi, but obviously, she knows how she feels better than media.
Have Ubi and Lillian reconciled?

Ubi Franklin posted some quotes on his Instagram about true love enduring all the hardships, hoping that Lilian would warm up to him again. Neither Lilian nor Ubi have commented on the reasons for their estrangement.

They also posted a picture where they are gazing into each other’s eyes. Apart from that, they walked their little son on the runway. The fans were thrilled to know that they have overcome their problems.
In July 2017, Ubi and Lilian also threw a big party for their son’s first birthday and they seemed to look happy together in the photos. No one really knew if they have really reconciled or they are just acting friendly for the sake of their son, but fans are delighted to hear that things are no longer gloomy between the two. Many supporters are hoping that Ubi and Lilian will overcome all the issues.
