Nollywood Movie Director, Jeta Amata & Wife Part Ways After Almost 10 Years Together

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.
