Nkechi Blessing, Opeyemi Falegan Reconcile After Four Years
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing and Ekiti politician Opeyemi Falegan have made peace four years after their publicised 2022 split, following a TikTok Live on Saturday night, according to Gazette and others. Blessing has since said that forgiving him does not mean they are back together, according to Linda Ikeji’s Blog.
What Happened on TikTok Live
During the live session, Blessing said she would not let go of the past until Falegan apologised publicly, according to Gazette. She said some of his earlier comments about her were still being used by online trolls to insult her.
She added that she had defended him on social media when he was wrongly accused. Blessing warned that “the internet does not forget.”
NewsClick reported that the two had been communicating since February 2026.
Falegan’s Apology and Statement
Falegan apologised for speaking negatively about her during their fallout, according to Newsheadline247, which said Blessing acknowledged that both sides contributed to the breakdown. Pulse reported that he said he is no longer the person he used to be.
In a social media post late on Sunday, Falegan said the two had resolved their differences and were “in a very good place,” according to ThisNigeria. He said they had chosen to move forward with kindness and respect.
He urged supporters who took sides during the dispute to stop revisiting it, and thanked those who stood by them, according to ThisNigeria. He asked the public to promote love rather than division.
Linda Ikeji’s Blog reported that Falegan wrote on Instagram, “Who we were yesterday is not who we are today.”
Blessing Clarifies Where They Stand
After reactions online, Blessing wrote on Instagram that forgiveness does not mean they are back together, according to Linda Ikeji’s Blog. Pulse reported that she also responded to fans who criticised the reconciliation by asking whether there is anything better outside.
Saga Gist reported that Falegan vowed never to reconsider their relationship.
Outlets describe their past relationship differently, with some calling Falegan her former husband and others her former boyfriend or partner. Outlets also describe Falegan variously as a politician, businessman and US-based army officer.
Background and Next Steps
Pulse said their relationship attracted considerable public attention before the 2022 breakup. OloriSuperGal reported that in April 2022 Falegan, widely believed to be Blessing’s husband, announced that the relationship had ended.
Saga Gist said the two fell apart after trading accusations online. In September 2022, Blessing claimed on the TV programme Your View that she entered the relationship to get back at an ex, according to Saga Gist.
The reports reviewed carried no further statement from either of them. Joydey9ja.com will update this report if more details emerge.
