Saidi Balogun, ex-wife Faithia Williams celebrate each other on birthday

Actor Saidi Balogun and his ex-wife Faithia Williams have celebrated each other on their birthday.

Saidi posted Faithia’s photo on his Instagram account on Monday with a goodwill message.

“Happy birthday Faithia may the lord you and your entire family, keep smiling to success.@faithiawilliams,” he wrote.

To celebrate his birthday, the 57-year-old actor shared a photo of himself on Instagram, saying that life has been a rollercoaster.

He wrote: “All those who are born in February, hands up…

“Life has been a roller coaster with highs and lows, curves, and bends. But the engine keeps moving, it never topples. Ground solid, no sinking. Dogs barking, sometimes biting, it never penetrates but breaks their teeth. Why, because I dwell under the shadow of Almighty Allah S.W.T, the author of my destiny.

“Another year added, I celebrate with all Aquarius worldwide, All February born especially February 5. Happy birthday to us!”

Reacting in the comment section of the post, Faithia wished him a happy birthday.

“Happy birthday SB,” she simply wrote.

Saidi and Faithia got married in September 2000 in Lagos.

Their marriage produced two children, Khalid and Aliyah Balogun.

The duo separated for a few years before getting officially divorced on January 17, 2014.

Faithia Williams, formerly known as Faithia Balogun, reverted to her maiden name, ‘Williams,’ three years after the divorce was finalised.

Despite the divorce, they are occasionally seen together at public events.

Saidi made a show of spraying his ex-wife money at Mercy Aigbe’s 40th birthday party in January 2018.

Faithia also featured him in her movie Ajioja prompting many to speculate that the duo may come back together as a couple.

Both stars have ruled out the possibility of that happening but insist they’ll always be friends and co-parents to their children.
