Dating is a long and complicated process
And when a person is in the public eye, that process becomes 10 times harder because every single person is in their business contributing what they think about the person’s significant other or who they think the person is dating or should be dating.
When one is in the public eye, many people start shipping romances and pedaling stories of dating between anybody they come in contact with. Sometimes these stories end up being true, other times these stories end up being nothing more than fiction.

When asked about the relationship years later, Jim Iyke said:
Things didn’t get messy as people thought. Two people met in the entertainment industry and there was a reality show at a time that kept us together.
So, we did a smart thing anybody who found himself or herself in such situation would have done. And when the entertainment was over, we moved on to our normal lives.
For anyone who thought anything extraordinary happened, it was a live show except that it played into our personal lives too. I got what I wanted, which was followership and I appreciate the audience for watching.
