At last, it has emerged that reconciliation moves
between star actor, Saheed Balogun, and star actress wife, Fathia
Balogun, were to
no avail. It was learnt during the week that the
actor late last year remarried as he secretly
tied the knot in a traditional way with a United
Kingdom,UK-based lady.
Saheed and Fathia parted ways amidst accusation and
counter accusation of infidelity and
irresponsibility. Since the separation about two years
ago, several people have made notable attempts at
reconciling the two warring parties.
Former governor
of Lagos State, Ahmed Bola Tinubu and wife tried
severally to reconcile the two but Fathia was said to
have rebuffed all entreaties. Remi Adiukwu also made
moves as god-mother of Saheed to see to it that the two
got back together. Her effort was in
vain.
People however became hopeful when Fathia was said to
have received an award on behalf of Saheed in London
and subsequently dedicated her award to him.. It was
seen by many as an attempt at reconciliation, as hope
began to rise that the two stars might reunite
and shame their critics.
Instead of news of
reconciliation what was heard was news of
remarriage by Saheed.
The new wife is a UK-based lady whose name starts
with letter O and this reporter saw her in company of
Saheed on Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos on Monday before
the lady left for UK on Tuesday. She was said to have
gone everywhere with Saheed ever since she came in
last year and the new husband who appeared content with
his new bride was proud in showing her off to very
close associates.
“Saheed is still discreet at
disclosing her full identity because of fear of
what Fathia and her supporters might do. You know he
believes that the lady is fet...h and can ruin his
castle of joy if he rushes things,” a very close source
to the actor told Showbiz Now. The lady was seen
making calls on Saheed's communicator mobile phone
and doing what women in love with their husbands would
generally do in public.
The British-born, UK-based fair complexioned
lady we learnt is pleading with Saheed that they
relocate to UK immediately after the court
marriage but Saheed is said to be loving life here.
He has already told the lady that they
would cross
the bridge when they get there.
