Popular movie director, Jeta Amata and his beautiful actress
wife of five years have parted ways. Their separation which happened months ago was not based
on a fight but they decided amicably to part ways.
According to reports, the marriage crashed on Mbong’s
insistence over her acting career.
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.
Confirming the separation to popular blogger, Linda Ikeji
the offspring of the Amata clan in Nollywood, confessed to have stolen his
wife's youth and did not let her live her dream.
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.”
Since the separation Mbong has featured in two Nollywood
movies, one of them is Forgetting June produced by Emem Isong, which she came
back to Nigeria to shoot.
Meanwhile Jeta seem to have moved on as he is said to be
dating an Australian actress, Viva Bianca, best known for her role as Ilithyia
in Spartacus.
Viva is starring in Jeta's new movie project - Road to
Redemption, which also features Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson and pop star,
Akon.
Jeta and Viva have been dating for many months now and
were even spotted in Las Vegas recently. Although he refused to talk about his
relationship when asked.
