For all the fans of Jeta and Mbong Amata, this may break your hearts. The prolific movie director and his beautiful actress wife of five years Mbong Amata have separated. They've actually been separated for about a year now but y'all are just hearing about it. And from what I gathered from source Jeta and  Mbong didn't fight, they just decided to let go of each other.

Jeta met Mbong when she was only 16 years of age in Calabar in 2001 during a film audition. He waited for her to mature and they started dating when she turned 18 two years later. In 2008, they welcomed a girl, that same year, Jeta married Mbong. They later moved from their base in Abuja to Los Angeles so Jeta could work with his movie projects.


Continue to see why they broke up...so heartbreaking for this type of young couple and maybe there's a lesson/training  to be learnt here.

Some tips about what we heard happened between them. Mbong met Jeta when she was so young, married him and became a mother in her early twenties. She is really 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 might 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 an income on her own. She relied on Jeta for everything.

Once they moved to the US, it became a little worse for Mbong. She became lonely and instead to be the star actress she's always imagined, she became a housewife, taking care of 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 provide her a bit more space to pursue her dreams.

Jeta tried to live up to his promise, but being an African man, just couldn't compromise and so this past year Mbong wanted out from the marriage and Jeta let her go. Mbong and Jeta have already been living separately in Los Angeles for about a year now. When we asked if there was any hope for reconciliation, my source said'it's only a matter of time before they file for divorce. Mbong is happy now that she can do whatever she wants with out a husband to avoid her or tell her what she can or can't do"

I 've known Jeta Amata for quite a while, since the 90's in fact and so before writing this I reached out to him to have their own side of the story, and because we are friend, Jeta opened around me. - Source

He confirmed they have indeed separated & partly blamed himself for the break up. He explained;

    "Mbong is an amazing mother, an amazing wife...so many time we were together she would never let any person cook my food...she was faithful and good in my experience and gave me the very best gift on the planet, 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 had been simpler to let her go and find new adventures. She's happy and so am I. Even though that people are no further together, we are still good friends. She even lives close in my to me in LA. Things are great between us and I'm very happy to see her happy."

Since the separation Mbong has featured in two Nollywood movies, one is Forgetting June created by Emem Isong, which she came back again to Nigeria to shoot. She also revealed her sexy bikini body some months back. Y'all didn't know she was a single woman then...pic below...

 As for Jeta, I heard he now has a new girlfriend. Jeta is dating Australian actress Viva Bianca, best known for her role as Ilithyia in Spartacus (Pic below)

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. When I asked Jeta about his relationship with Viva, he didn't want to talk about it.

And that my friends, is the end of the story. Wishing Jeta and Mbong Amata the very best.
