Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing, ex-partner Opeyemi Falegan reconcile after years of public feud

Spread the wordNollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday and her former partner, Ekiti politician and philanthropist Opeyemi Falegan, have resolved their differences and agreed to move forward on good terms after years of public disagreements.

Falegan announced their reconciliation in a statement shared on his Instagram page on Monday, expressing appreciation to people who had followed their disagreement, offered advice, said prayers and supported them throughout the period.

The politician disclosed that they had settled their differences and were now in a good place, suggesting that both parties had decided to put their past disagreements behind them.

“We are happy to let you know that we have resolved our differences and are in a very good place now,” he wrote.

He explained that misunderstandings and difficult moments were part of life but could be overcome through honest conversations, mutual understanding and a willingness to forgive.

Falegan appeals to supporters to end online arguments

In his statement, Falegan appealed to people who had taken sides during their disagreement to allow the matter to rest, saying there was no longer any need for arguments, blame or negativity.

He acknowledged the support both parties received during their public fallout but urged their supporters to respect their decision to reconcile.

“Nobody is perfect, and we believe there is strength in forgiveness, maturity in understanding and beauty in choosing peace,” he added.

Falegan further stated that neither party held bitterness against the other and expressed hope that people who genuinely wished them well would be happy about their decision to restore cordial relations.

He also said he had chosen to move forward with mutual understanding, kindness and respect, suggesting a fresh chapter in their relationship.

Reconciliation follows public apology on TikTok

The announcement came a day after Falegan publicly apologised to Nkechi during a TikTok Live session on Saturday.

The apology came several years after their highly publicised relationship ended in a bitter disagreement in 2022, which generated considerable attention on social media.

During the conversation, Nkechi said an apology was necessary before they could move forward, recalling that some comments Falegan made about her during an earlier social media Live session had contributed to their disagreement.

The actress explained that remarks made about her years earlier continued to affect her because social media users still relied on them to attack and ridicule her online.

“I told you something in February that if you must, you see what’s because of what you did five years ago, some irrelevant nitwits, they used to use it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you the internet never forgets,” she said.

Nkechi recalls defending former partner despite disagreement

During the TikTok conversation, the actress also recalled defending Falegan against online criticism despite their strained relationship.

She said she had intervened in comment sections of videos where people accused him of wrongdoing, explaining that she had tried to correct what she considered false allegations.

According to her, she had told some social media users that the person they were accusing of allegedly defrauding them was not the individual responsible for the alleged incident.

Her comments highlighted some of the unresolved issues between the former couple before their latest reconciliation.

Former couple seek fresh start after 2022 fallout

Nkechi and Falegan’s relationship attracted considerable public attention before their separation in 2022, with their disagreements frequently playing out on social media.

Their exchanges generated reactions among fans and followers, particularly as both parties made public comments about their relationship and the circumstances surrounding its breakdown.

Falegan’s latest announcement, however, indicates that the former couple have chosen to settle their differences and discourage further arguments among their supporters.

Although neither party disclosed further details about the reconciliation, their decision to publicly announce that they were now on good terms has brought a new development to a disagreement that had continued to attract attention years after their separation.
