Actor Alex Ekubo had a wife, Yomi Casual’s wife reveals in tribute to him
Speculation about the personal life of late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo has intensified online following a tribute from Grace Makun, wife of fashion designer Yomi Casual, which appeared to reference a “wife” among those he left behind.
The actor reportedly died on Monday, May 11, with the news becoming public on May 12.
In her emotional tribute, Grace Makun expressed shock and grief, referencing Alexx Ekubo’s close circle and writing that “your parents, siblings, wife, your gang, your colleagues, fans” were all devastated by his passing.
The mention of a “wife” in her message has since triggered widespread discussion on social media, with fans questioning whether the actor had quietly married out of public glare.
However, at the time of reporting, no official confirmation has been made by the family or management regarding a spouse, and the statement appears to be part of a condolence message listing perceived close relations rather than a formally verified disclosure.
The tribute also highlighted the actor’s famously private nature, with Grace noting that he often maintained a strong boundary between his public image and personal life.
This has further fueled fans’ curiosity, given that Alexx Ekubo was widely known for keeping his relationships out of the spotlight.
The emotional post has since gone viral, contributing to ongoing conversations about privacy among celebrities and how little is often known about their personal lives until after their passing.
