Veteran Nollywood actors Faithia Williams and Saidi Balogun have drawn widespread attention after sharing a public moment together at a movie premiere in Lagos, years after ending their marriage.
The pair appeared side by side at the April 26 premiere of Efunroye: The Unicorn, a historical film produced by Williams. They were joined on stage by their son, Khalid, with all three dressed in coordinated outfits—an appearance that quickly became one of the event’s highlights.
During the event, Williams acknowledged their shared history and expressed appreciation for her son and team, prompting applause from attendees.
The film, which explores the life of 19th-century businesswoman and influential figure Efunroye Tinubu, is scheduled to hit cinemas nationwide on May 1. It features a lineup of notable actors, including Odunlade Adekola and Mercy Aigbe.
Clips and photos from the premiere soon circulated online, with many social media users reacting to the visible camaraderie between the former couple. Several commenters praised their maturity, noting that their relationship reflects a positive example of co-parenting despite their separation in 2014 after 14 years of marriage.
While some online users speculated about the possibility of a romantic reunion, others focused on the mutual respect displayed during the event. Observers also highlighted Khalid’s presence, describing the moment as symbolic of a strong family bond.
The reunion follows other recent public appearances involving both actors, further fuelling public curiosity. Balogun also played a role in the film, underscoring their ongoing professional collaboration.
Although neither Williams nor Balogun has indicated any change in their relationship status, their interaction continues to resonate with fans, many of whom see it as a rare example of cordial post-marriage dynamics within the entertainment industry.
