In a previous report, Nollywood actors Saidi Balogun and Fathia Williams warmed fans' hearts after a video of the two surfaced online.
The estranged couple was seen with another lady, and their conversation caught the attention of social media users.
In the clip, Saidi mentioned that he was going to get food for his ex-wife, who lost her father last year.
Reacting, a lady in their company remarked that Fathia didn't want food, but needed money for fuel.
Balogun responded, saying there was no amount of money he could give Fathia that she would appreciate.
Fathia then looked at her ex-husband and asked if she seemed like someone begging for money, while Saidi just looked on as she spoke.
Fans were thrilled to see the video and wondered if the two who shares the same birthday had reunited. Some referenced a song by Saheed Osupa about the estranged couple coming back together.
A few also questioned why Fathia is still known as Balogun despite changing her surname to Williams. They expressed hope that the two, who share the same birthday, were truly back together.
