Nkechi Blessing and Ex-Partner Opeyemi Falegan Reconcile After Years Apart

Ekiti politician and philanthropist Opeyemi Falegan has publicly apologized to Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday, marking an end to years of public tension following their highly publicized separation. The reconciliation took place on Saturday during a joint TikTok Live session, where the former couple revisited the circumstances surrounding their bitter 2022 fallout and discussed their past disagreements.

During the broadcast, Nkechi emphasized that an apology was a necessary condition for them to move forward. She pointed out that past remarks made by Falegan during an earlier social media video continued to resurface online, with internet trolls using his historical comments to harass her.

“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,” Nkechi stated during the live session.

Despite their historical grievances, the actress noted that their separation should not turn them into lifelong enemies. She also mentioned that she had previously defended Falegan against online criticism, stepping into comment sections when other users accused him of wrongdoing to clarify that he was not the individual who had allegedly scammed them.

Responding to her remarks, Falegan acknowledged that his perspective and character have evolved over time and urged both of them to leave the past behind. He noted that a gentleman would not extend negative words toward a woman and emphasized that his current self is different from who he was years ago.

“A gentleman wouldn’t extend the words of the lady. And another thing you need to understand is this: who I was yesterday is not who I am today,” Falegan remarked during the conversation.

Concluding the discussion, Falegan offered a direct apology to ensure the actress no longer harbored anger toward him. “From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, do not be angry, Nkechi. That is gone. See that you have grown and more mature,” he said.

The pair originally drew significant public attention in April 2022 when their relationship ended in a messy series of online accusations. Although they had publicly presented themselves as married during their time together, reports at the time indicated they were not legally married. Following subsequent media appearances later that year where both exchanged counter-accusations regarding financial motives and personal grievances, Saturday's livestream marks their first major public reconciliation.
