Social Media Erupts Over Pregnancy Claim at Actor’s Burial Ceremony

The rumour that Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo’s wife might be having a child has been one of the main topics of discussion following his final funeral, which took place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in his hometown of Arochukwu, Abia State.

Delivering an emotional tribute, the chief  prayed that the late actor’s lineage would endure for generations. Building on this hope, he referenced reports of the late Alexx wifes’s pregnancy, expressing deep optimism that the unborn child would grow to achieve even greater milestones than their father.

According to reports, a community leader representing the Eze Aro of Arochukwu at the funeral revealed the information during the event.

The video has since gone viral online, further generating mixed reactions on social media. While some people have expressed genuine happiness and described it as a final gift from the late actor, others questioned why such personal information was shared publicly.

Furthermore, some pundits argued that Alexx Ekubo would likely have preferred the information to remain private and that sharing the video was unnecessary.

In addition, mourners observed the actor’s widow, Anwuli Ekubo, in a noticeably solemn mood throughout the emotional funeral rites, as she quietly watched the proceedings while wearing a white dress, sunglasses, and a nose mask.

However, members of the late Alexx Ekubo’s family have not formally not confirm the information.
