United States-based preacher Passion Java and his wife Lily Tsegaye have officially confirmed their divorce stating that their marriage has been legally dissolved, bringing clarity to a relationship that has faced public scrutiny for years.
In a statement addressed to “partners, spiritual children, and all well-meaning Christians around the world,” Passion Java said:
“This moment serves to inform our partners, spiritual children, and all well-meaning Christians around the world that Lily and I have officially dissolved our marriage.
This decision was not made lightly, but with maturity, understanding, and peace. Though our marriage has come to an end, we remain friends and committed partners in raising our three beautiful children. We are both fully involved in their lives and will continue to co-parent with love, respect, and unity.”
He added that divorce does not change his responsibility as a father and emphasised that both parents remain actively involved in their children’s lives.

Lily also released her own statement confirming the development. She wrote:
“After prayer, counsel, and much reflection, I want to formally acknowledge that my marriage has been legally dissolved for some time.
While our covenant as husband and wife has ended, our shared responsibility as parents remains. Our three sons continue to be our highest priority, and we are committed to raising them with stability, love, and intentional care.
We are no longer connected in marriage, leadership, or vision. Each of us is pursuing the individual path and assignment God has entrusted to us.”
She described the decision as one made “with sobriety, clarity, and conviction,” adding that choosing peace does not mean endorsing the past but choosing wisdom for the future.
A History of Divorce Claims
This confirmation comes six years after Passion Java first claimed in 2020 that their divorce had been approved. At the time, he posted on social media:
“Ndineurombo kukuzivisai kuti divorce yangu namai mwana has been approved, takasiyana Gore richitanga Saka ndakugara mu Zimbabwe, Tomorrow around @5pm zim time ndichakupai video yakakwana!!!”
That announcement sparked widespread debate, with some dismissing it as a publicity stunt. The timing raised eyebrows, especially after Lily had publicly declared her undying love for him on Instagram just days earlier.
Critics, including political figures and commentators, openly questioned the authenticity of the 2020 claim. The issue quickly became a trending topic, blending religion, celebrity culture, and politics.
Now, It’s Official
Unlike in 2020, both parties have now issued formal, measured statements confirming the marriage has been legally dissolved.
While the marriage has ended, both Passion Java and Lily Tsegaye stress that co-parenting their three sons remains a shared priority. They also made it clear that their ministries and personal callings will now operate separately.
For followers who have watched their journey unfold publicly since their 2016 wedding in Jamaica, this marks the definitive close of a chapter that has long been surrounded by speculation.
Now, six years later, what was once controversial talk has become confirmed reality.
