Popular Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has revealed that he has three children and a failed marriage no one knows about.
The Nollywood star made this known during a chat with popular media entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo.
Iyke said that he has chosen to keep his private life private and that is why people didn’t know about his marital life and his children.
“I hate to be figured out, hence my reason for keeping my marital life out of public scrutiny,” “I’ve had a failed marriage. I have three beautiful kids. How are you going to know? You can’t follow my partner. You’ll never understand. Even people who live in my space don’t know how I move,” he said.
Speaking further, he said “I hate to be figured out. Once you figure me out, I have nothing else to offer. So that’s the potency in it. I refuse to be figured out. I refuse to be tamed.”
During the chat, Jim Iyke also spoke about how the death of his mother, for whom he had sought spiritual healing, crushed him.
A video showing Iyke in a deliverance session at late Apostle TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of all Nations had surfaced online in 2013.
He said “When I lost my mum, I couldn’t find my feet for years. There’s an understanding, spirituality, and connection that I lost. People always wondered how I rise from things that were supposed to bury me”.
He explained that while his mum lay in her hospital bed, people said he was playing theatrics.
“I said, ‘I will live in the church for two years if my mum is healed’ What happened, I don’t know. I saw the video and said it’s not me” he explained.
The movie star further spoke about trying his hands on several businesses that eventually failed.
