Late Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo and his wife, Anwuli Amakom Ekubo, are reportedly expecting a child.
The Eze of Arochukwu, Alex’s hometown in Arochukwu, Abia State, hinted at it.
Kemi Filani reported that on Wednesday, June 17, Alex’s body arrived in his hometown for a Wake-keep for his funeral today, June 18th.
The convoy carrying his body stopped at the Eze Aro of Arochukwu’s Palace, where the traditional ruler said a prayer over the casket.
While praying, he asked God to ensure that Alex’s lineage doesn’t end. He further claimed that they received news that Alex’s wife was pregnant, and he prayed that the child would achieve greater exploits than his popular father.
At the time of reporting, the claim hasn’t been verified by the late actor’s family. But the words of the Eze has brought hope and excitement to Nigerians.
After Alex’s Service of Songs, netizens unearthed the identity of his wife, Anwuli Amakom Ekubo. His wife is an Executive Director of NOG Oil and Gas Limited, a reputable energy transportation company in Nigeria.
At the Service of Songs, Pastor Ighodalo had prayed for the actor’s wife, and also praised her strength. Using himself as a case study, he reflected on his grief, saying he understands how deeply it is to lose a spouse. He noted how he lost his wife six years ago and has been dealing with it.
Her sister, while paying tribute to Alex, revealed that the family was very particular about the man their sister ended up with, as she is a special breed. She said she knew he was the one when he came forth for her sister’s hand in marriage.
Recall that while mourning the late actor, Grace Makun, the wife of fashion designer Yomi Casual, dropped a bombshell revelation about his personal life. She revealed that he was married and expressed how much they will miss him.
Also, confirming it, Uche Jombo made a promise to him, saying she visited the actor’s house and met with his wife. She said they talked about him, and through the tears, laughter came. She expressed appreciation to God for his love and promised to take care of his wife.
While speaking on the death of Alex, Daddy Freeze said Alex’s breakup with his ex-fiancée, Fancy Acholonu, broke him. According to him, Alex was at his house one day, and it was clear that the breakup affected him. The media personality stressed that the actor didn’t rise from the scandal until he disappeared.
Alex was previously engaged to American model, Fancy Acholonu.
Unfortunately, the engagement was short lived, as later that year, they broke up. The dissolution of Alex Ekubo’s engagement was made known to the public by his ex-fiancé Fancy Acholonu, with the actor being silent on the matter.
