After Anerlisa Muigai confirmed that she signed the divorce papers to officially split from Tanzanian musician Benard Paul Mnyang’anga aka Ben Pol, he has now spoken out.

Anerlisa told hef fans in an Instagram story,

"I would like to make it clear that I signed whatever needed to be signed and I do not wish to be associated with anyone. My focus right now is my career and peace."

Through an official statement, Ben Pol also addressed the divorce.

He confirmed the divorce is ongoing at a primary court in Daresalaam, Tanzania.

"At this time, Ben Pol would like to confirm that his divorce proceedings are in progress at the primary court but have not yet been finalised" reads the statement.

Adding,

"These proceedings are a very private matter and he will not discuss any details out of respect for all parties involved".

In the statement that did not mention Anerlisa at all, the bongo Rnb star asked for privacy and space.

His management added,

"He kindly asks that space and privacy be given to him and his family during these challenging times.

He appreciate everyone's understanding and takes this opportunity to thank his family, his friends and his fans for their ongoing support."

The two tied the knot in a super private and hush-hush wedding less than a year ago in May 2020 at St Gaspar Catholic Church in Mbezi Beach.
