My ex-wife lied about being a virgin before marriage — Nollywood actor Jimmy Rolland

n n

Nollywood actor, Jimmy Rolland, has claimed that his former wife deceived him into believing she was a virgin before they got married, describing the revelation on their wedding night as one of the biggest disappointments of his life.

n

Speaking on the African A-List podcast in an episode uploaded on Saturday, the actor said he ignored several warning signs before marrying his ex-wife because he was convinced she was truthful.

n

“I am not a fool. I saw signs, but I was hypnotised by my mother-in-law,” he said.

n

According to Rolland, both his mother and some friends had advised him against the marriage after what he described as spiritual consultations.

n

“My mother and friends made spiritual consultations and warned me not to marry her, but I did not listen,” he said.

n

The actor said he and his former wife dated for four years before getting married and that she repeatedly told him she was a virgin.

n

“She told me she was a virgin, so I did not bother to make attempts to make love to her. We dated for four good years,” Rolland said.

n

He explained that after their introduction, she insisted they wait until after their wedding before becoming intimate.

n

“After our introduction, she said, ‘Till the wedding night.’ I had to wait for some months, then on the wedding night, it ended up to be a lie,” he said.

n

Rolland said he was devastated by the discovery and admitted he considered ending the relationship at the time.

n

“I was disappointed, and I should have walked away, but I did not. It was not me,” he said.

n

Reflecting on the breakdown of the marriage, the actor said the most painful part was losing access to his two children after the separation.

n

“What was disheartening is that we have two kids together, and she took them away.”

n

He claimed the emotional distress of being separated from his children later affected his health.

n

“Because of the children she took away, I had a stroke.

n

“Because of too much thinking about those children, I had a stroke,” he said.

n

Rolland added that his mother continues to mourn the separation from her grandchildren.

n

“My mother still cries because she wants to see those children,” Rolland said

n

The actor did not disclose when the marriage ended or whether there are ongoing legal proceedings regarding custody of the children.
