Fresh talk has taken over among fans of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo after reports suggested his widow, Anwuli Amakom, may be pregnant.
The speculation surfaced during the actor’s wake-keep in Arochukwu, Abia State, after a prayer by a traditional ruler drew attention online.
A video from the event showed the convoy carrying Ekubo’s remains stopping at the palace of the Eze Aro of Arochukwu before heading to the burial venue.
While praying for the late actor, the monarch expressed hope that Alexx Ekubo’s family line would continue despite his death.
He also mentioned reports that the actor’s widow was pregnant and prayed that the unborn child would grow to surpass the achievements of his late father.
The comments quickly gained attention on social media, with many fans describing the report as a source of comfort during the mourning period.
Several users also said they hoped the pregnancy claim would be true, saying it would help preserve the legacy of the actor, who was loved by millions in Nigeria and beyond.
However, neither the Ekubo family nor Anwuli Amakom has publicly confirmed the pregnancy report as of the time this report was filed.
Even without official confirmation, the remarks made at the wake have continued to generate discussion online, with many supporters offering prayers for the actor’s family.
Alexx Ekubo’s death came as a shock to fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, leading to tributes from across the country.
Known for appearing in numerous Nollywood productions, the actor remained one of the most recognised faces in the Nigerian movie industry until his passing.
For many admirers, the possibility that he may have left behind an unborn child has become one of the biggest talking points since funeral activities began.
