Nigerian filmmaker Yomi Black and his ex-wife Elizabeth John recently turned heads on social media with a unique and heartwarming acknowledgment of what would have been their 13th wedding anniversary. On April 9, 2025, Yomi took to his Instagram Stories, sharing a throwback photo from their 2012 wedding with a lighthearted caption:
“13 years ago! We broke up but still remain cordial. Happy ex anniversary…lol”
To many, it was an unusual but refreshingly mature way to reflect on a past relationship. Elizabeth soon followed up with a post of her own, re-sharing the same wedding photo on her Instagram feed. In her caption, she responded with grace and a bit of surprise:
“Happy Ex Anniversary Yomi Black. Didn’t know this was a thing till you called to wish it to me and saw you posted it. God bless you and all your endeavours.”
The former couple, who tied the knot in 2012 and share a son, reportedly went their separate ways in 2021. Despite their split, their recent exchange has drawn admiration online for its maturity, humor, and the evident mutual respect they still maintain.
Fans and followers applauded the two for demonstrating that co-parenting and a cordial post-divorce relationship are possible — and even worthy of a little celebration.
One fan commented, “This is the kind of peaceful energy we need more of. Healing, maturity, and blessings to both of them.”
Another added, “If this isn’t growth, I don’t know what is. Love how they’ve handled everything with grace.”
