Veteran Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke is known in his acting days to play be best loverboy and bad boy role, however, the role seem to have rubbed off on him as he remain the bad boy in his two marriages. He spoke on how his two marriages failed and why his wife left him despite being a good father to his three kids.
The actor opened up on his past marriage while speaking in a chat with Chude Jideowo on his show. The actor stated that his marriage failed due to the death of his mother.
He stated that while grieving over his mother’s death he emotionally abandoned his partner who recently gave birth to his first son. Iyke further noted that he invested all the love he had in his child and ‘left his wife behind.’
He said, “I have had a failed marriage but nobody knows that. I have three kids. I caused my marriage to fail. I am not the type that would blame anybody for my mistakes. There is a saying, ‘to boss up, own up’.
“There is a part of me that would take the easier route out. Anytime I did anything mediocre in my life, I always did it when I was emotional because I am extremely proficient in being deliberate and being strategic about everything I do. Every time I failed; it was because I got emotional. I became mediocre then I appeal to the smaller man in me and the part that was not emotionally intelligent.”
In a part of his interview, he noted that due to his closeness with his mother, no one was willing to inform him about her death.
He said, “When I lost my mother, I could not find my feet for years. There was a lifestyle, spiritual connection that I lost.”
“It took them 72 hours to tell me that I had lost my mother. I just got out of an interview in London. There is always that one person in the family that is a deliverer of bad news. The person who does that in our family said he would not break the news to me because there is a great chance I would not make it.”
