Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard has set social media buzzing with his latest birthday tribute to colleague Sarian Martin. On Instagram, the husband of Peggy Ovire showered the rising actress with heartfelt words, referring to her as both his darling and “property,” while celebrating her talent and wishing her blessings.
He wrote:
“My Salo Baby…
My PROPERTY‼️
You are a Shining Star.
May God continue to bless and increase you in all areas.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Darling @official_queensari.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments, reacting with a mix of surprise and amusement. One user questioned, “Property?” while others chimed in with playful affirmations and explanations for his choice of words, reflecting the buzz the post generated.
This public display comes amid lingering curiosity about Frederick’s personal life. He had previously drawn attention for not marking his wife Peggy Ovire’s birthday online, leaving followers speculating. In December last year, Frederick addressed circulating rumors about marital troubles, urging bloggers to stop spreading false stories. He emphasized that neither he nor his wife owe social media explanations for their marriage, stating firmly that marriage is not a form of slavery.
Frederick and Peggy tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Asaba, Delta State, on November 19, 2022. Since then, the couple has remained in the spotlight, facing constant public scrutiny and circulating rumors about cheating and marital tension.
In 2024, Peggy responded to a fan who questioned the absence of her wedding ring, sharing a video where it was noticeably missing. She also dismissed claims that she had coerced Frederick into marriage, asserting her independence and worth as a woman with beauty, brains, and ambition, proudly identifying her Urhobo heritage.
Despite the controversies, the couple continues to navigate their relationship under public observation, while Frederick’s latest birthday message to Sarian Martin has once again reignited conversations among fans and followers.
