Popular Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has revealed that he was an excellent father but a woeful husband to his wife which played out after the death of his mother who was his bedrock.
The feisty actor who opened up during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo said that he experienced a change within himself and his persona after his mother passed away.
Jim Iyke who admitted that he was responsible for his failed marriage said that after his mother died, he put his grief into becoming a ‘proper stay-at-home dad’, completely disregarding his wife.
“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,” he said.
“I didn’t grieve all through the process of my mother’s death and burial…but by the time I started to grieve, my wife became pregnant with my first son, and I wasn’t as loving as I should be….I became an obsessive dad after my son arrived…I took all my love and care on our son and abandoned her instead. I took all my love and attention to my son and left her behind, I was an excellent father but a woeful husband.” Jim Iyke noted.
