Tope quickly clarified the nature of his relationship with Fathia. The actor added that they have a tight relationship, but it is totally platonic and based on mutual respect and support.
“I and Fathia are very close to each other to the extent that nobody can find out why we love each other. I and Fathia will be together forever because she is my helper. When I wanted to become a movie director, some actors tried to discourage me, but Fathia was the one who stood by me, and she gave me the opportunity to direct five of her movies at the time without having any past experience about directing movies before,” Tope added.
Fathia Balogun was previously married to actor Saheed Balogun, but they have been separated for years, and she has remained single.
Tope Adebayo continues to grow in the profession, having achieved notoriety as a filmmaker with multiple blockbuster films to his credit.
At the time of this report, Fathia has not yet made any public comments on the topic.
