In a social media post, Jombo said she and others sat with Ekubo's wife, talking about the man they had lost. What struck her was how the mood shifted.
"As we sat around your wife today talking about you, through the tears came heavy laughter and I looked around and said… this is so Alex," she wrote.
The post confirmed what a close friend had already hinted at that Ekubo had been secretly married before his death. Grace Makun, wife of fashion designer Yomi Casual, had earlier revealed the marriage in a tribute that listed his "wife" among those who would miss him most.
Jombo also praised Ekubo for the deliberate way he had guarded his private life, saying his privacy was not accidental but deeply intentional.
"Because I know how much of a planner you are and how intentional you are, I can say you did it YOUR WAY. Everything else is noise," she wrote.
She closed her tribute with a message of peace, expressing gratitude that he was no longer in pain.
"Our hearts are breaking but I know you are free from pain, and left with a smile. I thank God for your life, for your peace with him in the end. I'm sure you already know we got her. Love you and miss you Ikuku," she added.
