Saidi Balogun says only 2 of Fathia Balogun’s 3 kids are his!

Saheed Balogun and his children
The surname controversy between separated couple Saidi and Fathia Balogun gets messier with each statement they release.


Balogun is now alleging that only two of Fathia Balogun’s three children are actually his, explaining that Fathia’s first child is from a different husband.

The Nollywood actor was reacting to a statement from Fathia’s rep who claimed that the actor is bent on Fathia dropping his last name.

In a statement written on his Facebook page, he said the whole court process was to get them legally divorced since they have been separated for seven years and not drop the name.

Yesterday I was accused of lying to the press on a recent rumour that has been circulating. I separated from my ex-wife Fathia Balogun in 2006, over 7 years ago. Since we were legally married in court, we had to legally divorce in court to finalize the issue. 

The public is welcome to go to the Lagos High Court to verify these records. This has absolutely nothing to do with any name! I am not asking or forcing Fathia to stop using the name Balogun, as it is one of the most common Yoruba names’, Saidi wrote.

He then opened up on the number of children Fathia has for him: ‘Furthermore, to set the record straight, Fathia and I had TWO children together NOT THREE. Fathia’s first child is from a different husband that she later divorced before we were married’, he wrote.
