Popular Nigerian socialite and entrepreneur, Grace Makun, has stirred reactions online after mourning Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo with an emotional message that appeared to reveal he had a wife.

Grace, who is married to celebrity fashion designer Yomi Casual, shared the tribute via her Instagram story, expressing deep sorrow over the actor’s reported passing.

In the emotional post, she wrote:

“I can’t explain this
No it’s not ok
I wish we didn’t listen to you and broke down that wall of privacy you had built, burn it no matter how many time you put it up
Your guys are not ok o
Ikuku, your guys are not ok o 💔
your guys are not ok at all Alex 😩💔💔💔
Your parents, siblings, wife, your gang, your colleagues, fans ahhhhh”

Her statement quickly drew attention online, especially the mention of “wife,” as the actor had never publicly confirmed being married.

Several social media users reacted to the revelation, with many discussing the importance of privacy among celebrities.

One user wrote:

“Rest in peace to Alex Ekubo. Grace Makun’s revelation that he had a wife adds a quiet layer to his private life, showing how much he kept away from the spotlight.”

Another commented:

“Until the wife reveal herself with valid evidence, I won’t believe this crap.”

A different user added:

“Privacy is very important, not everything about you the world needs to know, even as popular and influential as he is nobody knew he had a wife.”

Others also questioned why bloggers allegedly never uncovered the information during the actor’s lifetime.

As conversations continue online, many fans have continued to pay tribute to the Nollywood star while awaiting official confirmation from his family or management regarding the reports circulating on social media.
