Why I Kept Quiet About My Marriage and Divorce - Jim Iyke

Talk about a bomb. shell!

If you follow me then you know by now that I scour every new interview, newspaper article, new magazine post and social media to bring you fresh stories no one is talking about yet. Today, I was reading through my new edition of Genevieve Magazine when I came across a startling revelation that surprised the hell out of me. Nobody else has covered this from the look of it, probably because I, Jide Okonjo, am the only person who still reads magazines today.

Do you remember when Don Jazzy came out of nowhere and revealed on his Instagram that he'd been married and divorced before?

Well, apparently so has actor Jim Iyke.

I know! I too was very surprised when I read it. Here's what Jim Iyke said.

In the interview Jim Iyke did with Genevieve Magazine, the interviewer asked him "With your new movie out, what is next for Jim Iyke, especially as the year is coming to an end, what can your fans expect?"

To which Jim Iyke responded saying:

There are three lives I lead and for the most part I would advise anybody to live in this industry. I have a public life, I have a private life and I have a secret life. I will give the public my fashion sense, my opinions on certain political matters; I will give the public my talent and gift. It is what I signed up for, it is a joy. I will not give the public my private life, which consists of my extended family. No one has had access to that and that is why they run free, my sisters make the mistakes they make and get it right anywhere and no one records [them] and puts it into public domain. My secret space is my family, no one has access to where my sons are, where my wife was; I had a divorce, let me even shock everybody. But the way I live now, nobody would know I got] a divorce because we are still great friends, and co-parents. When I avail myself in the public space I must have something to say, something to give to the world. When I have nothing to say, nobody has the right to come into my life. I retreat to my private-secret life, and nobody is welcome. So I guess that is what is to be expected of me.

Yup! That shock on your face is the same shock I had when I first read the interview.

If you're anything like me, then your next question is:

Who Was The Wife?

Well, the answer is in Jim's response. Jim said that he and his ex-wife got divorced but are "still great friends and co-parents" meaning that his ex-wife has to be the mother of his son.

The mother of Jim Iyke's son is Dana Kinduryte. Can you believe it? All this time people thought she was only a baby mama, turns out she was also his wife.

This life. Can you imagine? Shock just dey come from everywhere!

I'd love to know what you think about this revelation? Are you surprised? Did you suspect it? Are you impressed about how well Jim kept it a secret? Let me know all your thoughts on the issue by leaving a comment on my Facebook post.

That's All.
