In what has become one of Ghana’s most talked-about celebrity breakups in recent years, celebrated actress and television host Nana Ama McBrown has officially confirmed her divorce from her husband of more than a decade, Maxwell Mensah.
The award-winning actress and media personality made the revelation during an exclusive interview with Cookie Tee on Newsday on TV3, bringing clarity to months of speculation surrounding her marriage.
Calm, candid and composed, McBrown revealed that the decision to end the marriage was mutual and reached without bitterness or conflict.
According to her, both she and Maxwell Mensah had reached a point where they were emotionally exhausted by the marriage and jointly agreed that separating was the best option for both of them.
“We were both tired of the marriage, so we decided to go our separate ways,” she stated, stressing that the divorce did not arise from hostility or wrongdoing.
A peaceful separation, not a scandal
Contrary to the dramatic narratives that often trail high-profile divorces, Nana Ama McBrown was emphatic that their separation was handled peacefully.
She disclosed that while Maxwell Mensah’s family initially struggled with the decision, the process itself was amicable and respectful.
“It was a peaceful agreement between the two of us,” she said, firmly dismissing any suggestion of animosity.
Her disclosure has struck a different tone from the usual celebrity divorce drama, presenting a story of maturity rather than scandal.
“We are still best friends”
Perhaps the most striking revelation from the interview was McBrown’s assertion that her relationship with her ex-husband remains exceptionally cordial.
Despite the end of their marriage, the two continue to communicate frequently and have maintained a strong friendship.
“We still talk, we call each other all the time. We are best of friends,” she revealed. “Our divorce didn’t happen on a bad note.”
She added that their shared commitment to their daughter remains a top priority, with Maxwell Mensah continuing to play an active and responsible role in her life.
“He takes care of his daughter, pays her school fees, and is very responsible, so we are cool,” McBrown said.
Co-parenting and family ties remain strong
In another revelation that has surprised many fans, Nana Ama McBrown disclosed that her bond with her former in-laws remains intact.
She said she still enjoys a warm relationship with Maxwell Mensah’s family, particularly his mother.
“I visit his family, and he does the same with mine,” she noted. “I even go to his mum’s shop at Makola to buy lace or anything I want.”
She added that she maintains contact with members of his family and that the divorce has not disrupted those relationships.
No abuse, no violence — McBrown sets the record straight
Addressing rumours that often accompany celebrity separations, McBrown was quick to dismiss any speculation of abuse or mistreatment.
She described Maxwell Mensah as a gentleman and stressed that throughout their 12 years together, he never subjected her to violence or disrespect.
“There was no violence or maltreatment involved,” she said.
“He never raised his hand against me.”
According to her, the marriage simply reached a point where it could no longer work, despite efforts on both sides.
A new chapter for ghana’s screen goddess
Nana Ama McBrown, one of Ghana’s most beloved actresses and television personalities, has long been admired not only for her talent but also for her resilience and openness.
Her candid confirmation of the divorce, delivered without bitterness or blame, has resonated widely with fans across the country.
As she turns the page on a deeply personal chapter of her life, McBrown appears focused on peace, friendship and co-parenting, redefining what a celebrity divorce can look like in the public eye.
