If it had been just Blackbolt and Medusa as King and Queen, maybe they'd have been together still. The focus would been on Medusa, of course, since always, but they'd still be together.
But a comic book about a king who got tons of wives? Released by Marvel? When new readers are supposed to like these characters? FUCK NO, That's not happening.
So they took the feminist approach with Medusa leaving Blackbolt and striking out on her own as the new queen and leader of her people. And to make her look cooler and more powerful, she got a new hot boytoy.
