Following the Service of Songs held in honour of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, public attention has increasingly shifted to his wife, Anwulika Amakom Ekubo, as many Nigerians search for details about the woman who quietly shared a life with one of the industry’s most admired stars.

Their marriage remained largely out of the spotlight, reportedly due to the painful end of his widely reported engagement to his US-based girlfriend, Fancy Acholonu, which collapsed shortly after their engagement ceremony.
That broken engagement, which dominated entertainment headlines at the time, reportedly exposed him to intense public scrutiny and online criticism, making him the subject of constant commentary and speculation.
Sources close to his professional circle claimed that the experience influenced his decision to keep personal matters out of public discussion, especially relationships that could attract media attention or online interference.
The existence of the marriage only became widely known following Ekubo’s death. Grace Makun, wife of comedian AY Makun and a close friend of the actor, alongside popular blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus, publicly confirmed that the actor was married and is survived by his wife.
As tributes continue to pour in for the late actor, Anwulika has emerged as a figure of admiration whose grace, resilience, and quiet strength have captured public attention during this deeply emotional period.
