Nigerian singer and Nollywood actress Iyumame Eke, popularly known as Muma Gee, has opened up about the emotional turmoil surrounding the collapse of her marriage to actor Prince Eke.
The entertainers met in the movie industry, fell in love, and went on to tie the knot in a lavish traditional and white wedding ceremony back in 2011. Their union was blessed with three children — twins Chika and Chisa Eke born on April 18, 2014, and their daughter welcomed in August 2016.
However, despite the seemingly beautiful beginning, the marriage lasted only five years.
In a candid interview with Sun News Online, the mother of three spoke about the pain, disappointment, and shock she endured during the breakup.
According to her, motherhood and family are sacred responsibilities she takes very seriously:
“I believe that one of the duties I have to fulfill here on earth is motherhood, and that includes getting married and building a family with a partner. Where I come from, we do not believe in divorce or separation. Coupled with my Christian background, it was a huge disgrace that my marriage failed; but God in heaven knows I did my best, and the fault wasn’t from me.”
Muma Gee revealed that the collapse happened because her partner was no longer willing to settle down or sustain the family they had built together:
“If you have two partners and one isn’t ready to settle down, and you’re willing to sacrifice everything to make it work — but the person picks his bag and says, ‘I am done with this stage of my life, kids or no kids!’ — it is shocking. I called it the 8th wonder of the world.”
What hurt her the most, she said, was the level of commitment she had already invested — including putting her career on hold — only to be treated “shabbily.”
She recalled being blindsided by damaging allegations spread online:
“I woke up one day to read in the news that I was frolicking with different men. That was the ultimate lie! I have never drunk alcohol or prostituted since I was born. Even as a single woman, I never messed around with men. For someone to come up with such lies just to dent the image I built over the years was outrageous.”
According to her, the allegations were part of a “campaign of calumny” orchestrated to destroy her reputation:
“He posted these things online to tarnish my image. It was crazy.”
Despite the pain, Muma Gee maintains that she gave her marriage everything she had and holds no shame in standing by her truth.
