Back in the day, Popular
Nollywood actors, Jim Iyke and Rita Dominic featured in alot of movies together
but kept their relationship away from the limelight.
In a recent interview with
Broadway TV, Jim Iyke opened up on reasons their relationship crashed after a
while.
He said Rita wasn't looking at longevity and couldn't keep up with his
lifestlyle.
He said, “Rita and I met when I
was just beginning to embrace fame, the comforts that came with it. The laurels
and the distraction, even the destruction.
“And Rita is not the kind of
woman that hangs around a lot. We were very deep with each other. We still are
great friends. As a matter of fact, it may surprise you that we haven’t spoken
to each other in over two years. But when we meet, we are cordial, respectful.
“There is that deep rooted thing
of a man or woman you shared something with.
“I don’t think Rita at that time
was looking at longevity, truthfully. Don’t forget, I was the kid with the
crazy afro, ready to start a fight.
“My life was around having a good
time and as many conquests as possible. So, who wants that kind of guy? So this
question is futuristic in a sense. Fast-forward perhaps 10 years from now, that
question may have had depth or hold water.
“But then, what was there to hold
on to? I mean, seriously? I was partying like a crazy person. She tried to show
me another life and say listen ‘there is so much more to you’ I promise you
that Rita will not hang around with a lay about. I was uncontrollable. I think
we have outgrown each other now.
“I would not see Rita as someone
I want to get involved with because so much layers of growth and evolvement
have gone on in her life and so is mine. So place the same place and situation
now, it may have worked.”
