Nkechi Blessing Reconciles With Ex-Husband Opeyemi Falegan Four Years After Bitter Breakup

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has reconciled with her former husband, Opeyemi Falegan, four years after their highly publicised and acrimonious separation.

The former couple announced their reconciliation during a TikTok live session on Saturday night, November 7, 2026, where they reflected on their troubled relationship and addressed some of the issues that contributed to their breakup.

During the conversation, Nkechi insisted that Opeyemi needed to publicly apologise for the negative remarks he made about her during their dispute, explaining that the comments had continued to affect her reputation long after their relationship ended.

The actress disclosed that she and Falegan had been communicating since February 2026 but maintained that an apology was necessary before they could fully move forward.

According to her, some social media users were still using statements made by her former partner years ago to attack her online.

She said: “I told you in February that if we must do this, you have to apologise to me because what you said years ago, some irrelevant nitwits still used it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you that the internet never forgets.”

Responding to her demand, Falegan acknowledged that both parties had contributed to the problems in their relationship and apologised for speaking negatively about the actress.

“From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, I’m sorry, Nkechi. That’s in the past,” he said.

The reconciliation marks a notable development in the relationship between the two personalities, whose separation in April 2022 attracted considerable attention on social media.

Following their breakup, both parties made several allegations against each other, turning their private relationship into a public dispute.

The disagreement continued months later when Nkechi, during an appearance on the television programme Your View in September 2022, revealed that she had entered the relationship with Falegan partly to make a former lover jealous.

Falegan subsequently reacted to the interview, accusing the actress of being interested in his money and sex. He also ruled out the possibility of getting back together, declaring at the time that he would never return to a relationship once he had decided to leave.

His latest apology and the pair’s appearance together on TikTok Live suggest that they have now put much of their past disagreement behind them.

However, neither party’s comments during the session establish whether their reconciliation represents a renewed romantic relationship or simply an end to their long-running public feud.
