Actors and former couple Saidi Balogun and Faithia Balogun have celebrated their 58th and 56th birthdays, respectively.

The duo, who share the same birthday, took to Instagram on Wednesday to mark their special day with heartfelt messages and photos.

Saidi posted pictures of himself dressed in a white agbada, cap and shoes, expressing gratitude to God for his journey so far.

“Today, I give all glory and thanks to Almighty God for His endless mercies, grace, and favor over my life. I am truly grateful for how far He has brought me, the journey, the lessons, the victories, and the opportunities that have shaped me into the person I am today,” he wrote.

The actor prayed for continued success, good health and divine guidance, adding, “Thank you all for your love and support always. Here’s to more achievements and brighter days ahead!”

Faithia, on her part, dazzled in a brown lace outfit, gele and heels. She shared posts, expressing appreciation for God’s faithfulness in her life.

“Happy birthday to me! Today, I am overflowing with gratitude to God for His unwavering presence in my life. I thank Him for the Grace that has guided my journey, for the success He has bestowed upon my life that fills my heart with pride, and for the countless blessings that have shaped who I am,” she wrote.

In another post featuring a video, Faithia reflected on her life’s journey and encouraged fans to celebrate with her.

“Today, I want to share my joy and gratitude with all of you. So, get ready to flood your timeline with love and positivity because it’s my birthday! Join me in celebrating the blessings that have shaped my journey, and let’s spread the message of hope and grace together,” she added.

Their colleagues have also joined in celebrating them.

Saidi and Faithia were once among Nollywood’s most admired couples.

They got married in 2000 and their union produced two children before they separated in 2006 due to irreconcilable differences. Their divorce was finalised in 2014 after years of legal battles.

Despite their past, the former couple has maintained a professional relationship and occasionally attend the same industry events.
