How did Lisa and Shirley meet?

On the TikTok live stream, Shirley revealed that she met Lisa online after Lisa emailed her “out of the blue.” Soon after, they met in person. According to Shirley, Lisa was married to her third ex-husband, Michael, which Shirley did not know until months into their relationship.

Why did Lisa and Shirley break up?

Shirley told CutToTheDrama that she and Lisa broke up because they were “not good together.” She claims that the final straw in the relationship was when she bought Lisa tickets to see P!nk with her daughter, Faith, and Lisa went to the concert with another woman instead. According to Shirley, “[Lisa] knows how to manipulate and talk to people.” However, Shirley admitted, “I wasn’t the best partner either. Don’t get me wrong, I was not a good partner to her. We weren’t good together. That’s why we are no longer together, and we are no longer married.”

While Lisa has claimed that Shirley cheated on her, Shirley denied these claims. Both Lisa and Shirley have also claimed that the other was “violent.” At the time of the live stream, Shirley confirmed that she had not seen Lisa for nine years.

Have Lisa and Shirley officially divorced?

Yes, Shirley confirmed that after 10 years, she and Lisa have finalized their divorce. Their split was made official on December 30, 2025. According to Shirley, the divorce process took extra time because she had a stroke. She explained, “I did not know that this whole thing in Nigeria was going on with Daniel.”
