Rumours about Sabinus' marriage
Recall that Sabinus' relationship became a topic of discussion following rumours of their marital issues. In 2024, rumours claimed Sabinus's marriage was on the verge of collapse.
At the time, Sabinus was accused of domestic violence, cheating and being an absentee father.
The reports claimed that Ciana struggled with a lack of financial support after moving to the UK and that whenever Sabinus visited, he preferred to stay at a hotel instead of with his wife and daughter.
It was gathered that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram and that Ciana had taken legal action against Sabinus.
The skit maker and Ciana later debunked the reports.
