Why Alex Ekubo Kept His Wife’s Identity Private – Uche Jombo

Nollywood actress Uche Jombo has reacted after photos and videos believed to be of the wife of late actor Alex Ekubo began circulating online.

Naija News reports that the images started trending on social media a day after a service of songs was held in honour of the late actor.

The posts quickly spread across different platforms and drew public attention to a part of his private life that had not been widely known.

Reacting on her social media page, Jombo expressed displeasure over how the matter was handled online.

She said that the actor had kept his relationship away from the public to protect his wife, and even people close to him had respected that privacy.

The actress also pointed out that the woman had appeared discreetly at the service of songs, yet her identity still ended up being shared widely on social media.

She wrote: “A husband who been through public scrutiny kept his wife private ( to protect her) none of his close friends ever shared her picture, she wore face mask to his service of songs. Yet somehow the privacy message didn’t register to bloggers. Woke up today to her videos and pictures all over my TL as breaking news.”

Before his death, there had been public curiosity about Alexx Ekubo’s marital status, as many fans were not aware he had reportedly married in private.

Some associates, including Grace Makun, had earlier mentioned that he was married but kept it out of the public eye.

This was later confirmed by the actor’s family after his passing, when they stated that he had been married before his death.

Actor Williams Uchemba also confirmed the marriage in an interview but refused to share details, saying the actor chose to keep his personal life away from public attention.

Alexx Ekubo died on May 11 at the age of 40. His family said he passed away after complications linked to advanced metastatic kidney cancer following a private battle with illness.
