Saidi and Faithia got married in 2000 at Ikorodu registry and divorced fourteen years later. Their divorce was quite messy, and Saidi, who told the court that he could not live under the same roof with his estranged wife due to irreconcilable differences, also demanded, among other requests, that Faithia drop his name, Balogun.
The former couple share two kids – Khalid and Aliyah.
In 2024, the former couple finally made peace, as for the first time in years, Saidi sent a sweet birthday note to Faithia, showering her with love and prayers. Faithia had also done the same as she sweetly celebrated Saidi Balogun’s birthday.
Faithia fueled reconciliation rumors with him as she referred to herself by her former married name, Faithia Balogun. The Yoruba actress shocked many when she addressed herself with her former marital title, Faithia Williams Balogun.
When Saidi lost his first daughter in October, Faithia had taken a break from social media to mourn. When she returned, she made a post gushing over the deceased and appreciated the public for their support.
When Faithia also buried her father in July, Saidi showed his support and attended the burial ceremony where he was captured raining money on her.
To add to it, when Saidi’s son celebrated his induction, Faithia congratulated him on his new feat and prayed for him.
