Nollywood actress and model Chinenye Nnebe, born on April 5, 1997, in Asaba, Delta State, has made a name for herself both on-screen and in business. Raised by her mother, renowned producer Uche Nancy, following her parents’ divorce, Chinenye attended St. Augustine College before pursuing higher education at Zenith University in Accra, Ghana, where she graduated in June 2019 with a degree in Business Administration.
Chinenye began her acting career at just three years old, debuting in 2000 under her mother’s guidance. However, it was her role in the critically acclaimed movie Dry, where she portrayed young Zara, that brought her into the spotlight. Her performance earned her the African Movies Award for Most Promising Actress in 2017.
Since then, Chinenye has appeared in numerous Nollywood productions, including World of Lust, Voice of a mother, and More Than Sisters. She has shared the screen with top actors like Mercy Johnson, Regina Daniels, Stephanie Okereke, and her sister Sonia Uche.

Despite her professional success, Chinenye has faced persistent rumors about her personal life, including claims of an “estranged husband” and relationships with colleagues. Most notably, there was speculation about her relationship with actor Jerry Williams, but Williams clarified in an interview that their connection was strictly professional.
Chinenye is a proud single mother to her son, Cutemeeky, born on April 25, 2019, during her university days. While she has chosen to keep details of her son’s father private, Cutemeeky is already following in her footsteps, embarking on his own journey as a child actor.
