Self-styled relationship coach Blessing Okoro, known as Blessing CEO, announced her engagement to auto dealer Darlington Iyke, popularly called IVD, on April 14, 2025, sharing a beaming “I said yes!” moment with a diamond ring photo.

The announcement, made via her verified Instagram to 1.2 million followers, marks a high-profile union between the controversial figures, who have faced public scrutiny over past relationships. “Love found me when I wasn’t looking,” Blessing said, crediting IVD’s “quiet strength” for their bond, which began in 2024 after months of speculation.
