Ben Ofoedu has reignited speculation about his past relationship with Denise Van Outen after posting a cryptic message that fans believe is aimed at his ex.
The singer, 51, took to social media with a pointed quote about "letting go of negativity", just weeks after Van Outen, 49, went public with her new romance with property developer Jimmy Barba.
Cryptic Social Media Post Sparks Speculation
Ofoedu shared an Instagram story featuring the text: "When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." The Maya Angelou quote was accompanied by a telling caption: "No need for explanations... just walk away."
Fans were quick to connect the dots, with many interpreting the post as a veiled reference to his high-profile split from Van Outen last year after nearly 18 years together.
Timing Raises Eyebrows
The post comes at a sensitive time for Van Outen, who recently confirmed her relationship with Barba. The TV personality has been spotted enjoying romantic getaways with her new beau, including a sun-soaked holiday in Cyprus.
Meanwhile, Ofoedu has remained relatively quiet about his personal life since the breakup, though he's been focusing on his music career and spiritual journey.
A Relationship Under the Spotlight
The former couple's split in January 2022 shocked fans, with Van Outen later revealing they'd been living separate lives for some time before making the breakup public.
Their relationship had been one of showbiz's most enduring partnerships, having weathered multiple challenges including Ofoedu's past infidelity scandals.
As both parties move forward with their lives, this latest social media activity suggests there may still be unresolved feelings between them.
