I lost my spark and my marriage ended – Jim Iyke

Jim Iyke has opened up on the emotional struggles that caused his marriage to fail, revealing how a loss in spark brought about the end of his marriage

Speaking in an interview, the actor admitted that he lost his emotional balance at the time and gradually became more distant as a husband while focusing heavily on fatherhood.

He explained that after losing his “spark,” he poured all his energy into raising his son, taking on the role of a stay-at-home dad.

He said:

“I lost my spark, and my wife suffered for it. And then I became an obsessive dad. I gave everything in me to my son. I was a proper stay-at-home dad.

“I became an excellent father but a woeful husband. After a while, she said, ‘I can’t find the man I married anymore.’ I told her, ‘I don’t know what it’d take for me to heal and bring myself back.’

“If you want to wait for me, I’d appreciate it. And if you can’t, I would understand. She said she couldn’t, so we shook hands and parted as friends.”
