Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo is currently single, happy and not searching.

The 37-year-old actor had a public fallout with his ex-fiancee, Fancy Acholonu which spanned over a period of two years.  The ex-couple got engaged in May 2021 and was set to tie the knot in November of that same year.

However, suddenly called off their already-scheduled wedding in August of the same year through an Instagram post.

She wrote:

“Hey guys, I am writing to inform you all officially that I have ended my relationship and engagement and I have called off the wedding with Alexx Ekubo,” the American-born model wrote.

“I am aware this may be a shock to many people. I made the best decision for myself, because it is important that everyone finds happiness and live in their truth. At this time, my family and I ask for you all to please respect our privacy. Thank you so much.”

In December 2022, the two reconciled and got back together secretly. Fancy went on social media to tender a heartfelt apology to Alex for calling off their engagement in 2021.

Fancy stated that she’s not afraid to be vulnerable and affirms her love for Alex. She acknowledged that she had hurt him and his family with the way she handled their breakup. She admitted that her actions were out of character and realized that she could have controlled her emotions instead of being overly reactive.

On Instagram, she wrote:

“Like our shirt says, Nothing makes sense when we’re apart @alexxekubo you still have my heart. I miss you, I love you, and I’m truly sorry for all the hurt & pain you and your family went through with our breakup.

“My actions in how I handled things was out of my character. I should have controlled my emotions and bit been so overreactive. I said too much, I did too much. Please forgive me. I’ve learned my lessons on how to handle situations.

“I haven’t expressed myself properly. I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and sat you, your family & friends still mean the world to me. Losing you has felt like grief. Love heals”.

Reacting to the apology, Alex wrote:

“I appreciate the apology. May God bless us all.”

But things turned sour quickly after Fancy claimed that Alex forced her to put the apology post to save his face. She was upset that he didn’t live up to his end of the bargain after tendering the apology.

Hell-bent on exposing Alex, Fancy further revealed that in their 5 years of relationship, he never touched her. Things even got messier when an audio recording of Alex and Fancy in a heated conversation surfaced online.

In the audio recording, Alex Ekubo clearly told his estranged fiance that he wouldn’t be posting anything on his page, in reference to her apology. However, he would acknowledge her post. She went on to reveal the intimacy between herself and Alex during an exclusive interview with popular blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus.

Fancy revealed that her ex-fiance, whose sexuality has been a subject of discussion, had asked her to have intimate relations with other men while they were dating. For her, this was the final straw in their relationship, as she had already been enduring his narcissistic behaviour, lies, cheating, and gaslighting.

Fancy further disclosed that their relationship took a turn for the worse after they got engaged. She explained that he became more controlling and verbally abusive, and their arguments escalated to the point of almost becoming physical.

Following their fallout, Fancy took a break from social media while Alex returned unbothered. He however disclosed in a question-and-answer section with his fans that he is done with relationships.
