Jeta & Mbong Amata have separated after almost 10 years together

For all the fans of Jeta and Mbong Amata, I am about to break
your hearts. The prolific movie director and his beautiful
actress wife of five years Mbong Amata, 28, have separated.
They have actually been separated for about a year now but y'all
are just hearing about it. And from what I gathered Jeta and
Mbong didn't fight, they just decided to let each other go.
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.
Continue to read why they broke up…so heartbreaking for such
a young couple and maybe there's a lesson to be learnt here…
Here's what I heard happened between them. Mbong met Jeta
when she was so young, married him and became a mother in her
early twenties. She is a former beauty queen (Miss Akwa Ibom
2003) and her dream was to be an actress. Jeta didn't mind his
wife being an actress but he didn't want her featuring in
Nollywood movies, so he restricted her.
Mbong, some of you may have noticed, only featured in Jeta's
movies. And because she met Jeta so young, Mbong didn't get a
chance to date other men, never partied and until they
separated, never earned a living on her own. She relied on Jeta
for everything.
When they moved to the US, it became a little worse for Mbong.
She became lonely and instead of being the star actress she's
always dreamed of, she became a housewife, caring for Jeta
and their five year old daughter. Mbong became resentful and
left Jeta in 2011 and returned to Nigeria. Jeta went after her
and they reconciled after Jeta promised to give her a bit more
space to pursue her dreams.
Jeta tried to live up to his promise, but as an African man, just
couldn't compromise much and so last year Mbong wanted out of
the marriage and Jeta let her go. Mbong and Jeta have been
living separately in Los Angeles for about a year now. When I
asked if there was any hope for reconciliation, my source told
me 'it's only a matter of time before they file for divorce. They
have moved on and the love is no longer there. Mbong is very
happy now that she can do whatever she wants without a
husband to stop her or tell her what she can or can't do"
I've known Jeta Amata for a long time, since the 90′s in fact
and so before writing this I reached out to him to get his own
side of the story, and because we are friends, Jeta opened up
to me.
He confirmed that they have indeed separated & partly blamed
himself for the break up. He told me;
"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.
