Jim Iyke Sets The Record Straight Reveals Why He Can’t Marry Rita Dominic

Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has opened up on his relationship with beautiful actress Rita Dominic. The actor mentioned that though they were very good friends when he started acting, but she didn’t seem to be the kind of woman that hung out so much.

According to the Nollywood bad boy, they haven’t even spoken to each other for close to two years now.

However, in an interview with Broadway TV, Jim Iyke opened up on why he couldn’t get married to the actress. He said:

“Rita and I met when I was just beginning to embrace fame, and the comforts that came with it.

The laurels, 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 though we don’t speak constantly. 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, and 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 anywhere. My life was about having a good time and as many conquests as possible. So, who wants that kind of guy?”

The ‘last flight to Abuja’ role interpreter further revealed that he has no intention of settling down with the award-winning actress, the reason being that they both work in the same industry and he wants a different experience in marriage.

He also gave reasons for his last failed relationship:

“I don’t think so, we come from the same circle, she knows too much of what I know and I think I know too much of what she knows. You need that opposite attraction to survive the kind of life I live now. I want to come in and hear about your day, I don’t want to repeat what I have done with you. I need to learn new things from you, I need you to teach me new tricks, and I need to, at least, pretend to be interested in what you are talking about in the evening.

A dead giveaway is the fact that I do know what you are talking about, I can fathom and predict it and I can end it, I don’t want that kind of life.   I want someone that is entirely different from my world, someone that can bring me to order. The amazing relationship I had before now didn’t work for special reasons and it is obviously because of that. I don’t want a drama queen, I just need a woman that will come to me with something different all the time, I don’t want a predictable life,” he quipped.
