Nollywood actress Faithia Balogun, also known as Faithia Williams, has playfully rejected the idea of referring to actor Saidi Balogun as her ex-husband during a recent interview. The moment occurred on the show Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by Isbae U, when the host introduced Saidi as her former spouse.
In response, Faithia fueled speculation about a possible reconciliation by asking, "Who told you he is my ex? I will tell him when I get home." The comment has since gone viral on social media, leaving fans and followers buzzing.
Interview Exchange Sparks Debate
During another segment of the interview, Isbae U questioned Faithia about using Saidi Balogun to promote her newly released cinema movie Efunroye: The Unicorn. He asked, "Why are you using Saidi Balogun to promote your movie?"
Faithia retorted, "Let me use him; if I don't use him, who will use him? Look at you now, nobody to use you, no father, no mother." The host then asked whether she paid her former husband "in cash or in kind," which prompted a fiery response from the actress, who blasted him for the question.
Reactions from Netizens
The interview clips have drawn diverse reactions online. User KGorld commented, "This is why I will never advise anyone to marry a divorcee or a single mother; her ex-husband will always have access to her." Another user, Nzoic10, said, "I swear to God, he was asking the question everyone wants to ask her. I love our sense of tatafoo."
Toyin150 praised the host, saying, "Isbae U has been fantastic with his show, and he is improving very well with his sense of humor. I love this episode. Faithia Balogun didn't see it coming. He asked questions many fans want to know about the estranged couple." Meanwhile, Beniwinn noted, "Faithia really chose violence with that comeback; she didn't have to go that hard. Isbae U should have known better than to bring up family business."
Reconciliation Rumors Intensify
The playful exchange comes weeks after Faithia and Saidi Balogun arrived at the premiere of her movie in Lagos wearing matching outfits, sparking further rumors of a reunion. A clip captured Faithia appreciating her former husband for his support. The viral video from Isbae U's podcast has only added to the speculation.
