Fresh excitement has gripped fans of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo following claims that his widow, Anwuli Amakom, may be expecting a child.

The development emerged during the actor’s wake-keep in Arochukwu, Abia State, where a prayer offered by a traditional ruler sparked widespread reactions on social media.

A video from the event showed the convoy carrying Ekubo’s remains making a stop at the palace of the Eze Aro of Arochukwu before proceeding to the burial venue.

The traditional ruler further referred to 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 remarks quickly attracted attention online, with many fans describing the development as a source of comfort amid the grief surrounding the actor’s death.

Several social media users expressed hope that the pregnancy report would prove true, saying it would preserve the legacy of the actor who was loved by millions across Nigeria and beyond.

However, neither the Ekubo family nor Anwuli Amakom has publicly confirmed the pregnancy claim as of the time of filing this report.

Despite the absence of official confirmation, the comments made during the wake have continued to fuel conversations online, with many supporters praying for the late actor’s family.

Alexx Ekubo’s death shocked fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, triggering an outpouring of tributes from across the country.

The actor, known for his roles in numerous Nollywood productions, remained one of the most recognisable faces in the Nigerian movie industry until his passing.

For many of his admirers, the possibility that he may be survived by an unborn child has become one of the most talked-about developments since funeral activities began.
