Grace Makun, wife of fashion designer Yomi Casual and a close friend of the late actor, hinted at the marriage in an emotional tribute following his passing.
In her post, she listed those who would feel his absence most, and the word 'wife' appeared among them.
"Your parents, siblings, wife, gang, colleagues, fans ahhhh. My boyzzz. Your bond even makes me, as a wife, dey jealous of you guys. We love you, Ikuku," she wrote.
She did not name the wife or offer further details, but her words suggested that Ekubo was not single but had deliberately shielded the relationship from public view, and that those in his close circle had respected that choice.
"I wish we hadn't listened to you and had broken down the wall of privacy you had built. Your guys are not okay o. Ikuku, your guys are not okay at all, Alex," she added.
