Prolific movie director, Jeta Amata and his beautiful actress wife of five years separated months ago - they didn't fight, but they amicably decided to part ways. He still refers to her as his wife and she still bears the "Amata" title...even on her social media pages!
According to reports, the marriage crashed on Mbong’s insistence over her acting career.
Confirming the separation to popular blogger, Linda Ikeji, the offspring of the Amata clan in Nollywood, confessed to have stolen his wife youth and caged her in marriage for 5years.
According to Jeta, “Mbong is an amazing mother, an incredible wife…all the time we were together she would never let any other person cook my food…she was faithful and good to me and gave me the best gift in the world, our beautiful daughter. If I didn’t cage her so much maybe we would still be together. I stole her youth and didn’t let her live her dream so it was better to let her go and find new adventures. She’s happy and so am I. Despite the fact that we are no longer together, we are still good friends. She even lives close to me here in LA. Things are great between us and I’m happy to see her happy.”
You will recall that Jeta met Mbong when she was only 16 years old in Calabar in 2001 during a movie audition. He waited for her to mature and they started dating when she turned 18 two years later. In 2008, they welcomed a daughter, that same year, Jeta married Mbong. They later moved from their base in Abuja to Los Angeles so Jeta could work on his movie projects. http://www.kemifilani.com/2013/10/sad-jeta-amata-separates-from-wife.html
