Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing and her ex-boyfriend, Opeyemi Falegan, have reconnected publicly during a TikTok Live session, years after a split that played out in full view of social media users. According to Pulse Nigeria, the pair discussed some of the issues that ended their relationship.
Apology demanded
Per the report, Blessing said she wanted an apology from Falegan before the two could move on as friends. Her reason was that some of his earlier comments were still bringing her online abuse, even though years had passed since they parted.
She told him, as quoted by Pulse Nigeria: “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.”
The report adds that the actress also said she had stood up for Falegan when fans criticised him online over things he did not do.
Falegan responds
Falegan apologised and said he had changed since the turbulent days of their relationship. Pulse Nigeria quoted him as saying: “What you need to understand is that who I was yesterday is not who I am today.”
He continued: “From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, do not be angry, Nkechi. That is gone. You have grown and are more mature.”
Fans react
The reunion did not sit well with some followers, who questioned why Blessing would reconnect with a former partner. Replying to them, she suggested she had returned because she was not impressed by what was available elsewhere.
In her words, as reported: “Anything dey outside? Lie, is anything outside? I have gone back to square one.”
Background
The two drew heavy public attention before they broke up in 2022. Online exchanges, accusations and personal revelations turned what began as a private dispute into a public spectacle, according to the report.
The source does not say whether the two are back together romantically or are only on friendly terms again.
