Saidi Balogun Attends Wake-Keep Of Ex-Wife Faithia Williams’ Mother, Sparks Reactions
A moving moment unfolded during the wake-keep held for the late mother of Nollywood actress Faithia Williams, leaving many attendees and online observers touched. Among those present to support the actress was her former husband, veteran Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun. Although the couple ended their marriage years ago, his presence at the event quickly drew attention. Faithia had earlier announced the burial arrangements for her mother, revealing that the wake-keep would take place on March 6, 2026. The gathering attracted friends, relatives, and several colleagues from the Nollywood industry who came to stand by her during the difficult time. However, what stood out most during the ceremony was the quiet moment shared by the actress and her ex-husband. In a video from the event, Saidi Balogun and Faithia Williams were seen seated next to each other as they mourned her mother’s passing. The scene showed no tension or discomfort, just two people united in grief while paying their respects to someone who had once been an important part of their shared family life. The moment sparked reactions from many who described it as touching and mature, noting that although their marriage ended long ago, mutual respect and compassion still remained. For many observers, Saidi Balogun’s presence served as a reminder that even after relationships end, certain bonds — especially those connected to family — can still bring people together in times of sorrow.
