Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has reconciled with her former partner and Ekiti State politician, Opeyemi Falegan, after four years of separation. 

Mr Falegan apologised to the actress during a TikTok live on Saturday after the ex-lovers reopened the issues that led to their messy separation in 2022. 

The actress noted that she would not let go of the past until Mr Falegan apologised publicly, adding that some of his negative comments were still being used against her. 

She stated, “You know I told you something in February that if you must, you see what’s because of what you did five years ago, some irrelevant nitwits, they still used to use it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you the internet does not forget.”

She added that she defended him against social media critics despite their differences by intervening in the comment sections of posts where he was being wrongly accused.

Mr Falegan, however, responded and apologised by asking them to let go of the past. 

“I’m a gentle man and a gentleman wouldn’t extend the words of a lady. And another thing you need to understand is this: who I was yesterday is not who I am today.  A lot of things happened over time and I wouldn’t want us to go back to that. 

“From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, do not be angry, Nkechi. That is gone.” Mr Falegan said.
