“I Am Not Separated From My Wife” – Olu Jacobs

As a celebrity or entertainer, no part of your life is out of bounds even though many would rather want it that way. Recently there was a rumor making round that Nollywood’s ageless couple Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva are having problems in their marriage and thing has degenerated so bad to the extent that they no longer live together as husband and wife.

Describing the scenario as upsetting, the veteran actor said it was the nature of his job that kept him away from home and nothing else:

 “There was a time when she was very angry when some papers were saying that we have separated and all that. I think a lot of people misunderstand what is going on. A lot of movies are done outside Lagos and I happen to work quite a lot outside Lagos. One, if we are invited to functions and I can’t go and she can go, she will go and represent us and she was doing that quite well. Two, her name is Joke Silva. Everybody knows her as Joke Silva. She is married; she’s now Mrs. Joke Jacobs but as an artiste, she’s Joke Silva and not Miss Joke Silva. So it is the same thing, when she calls herself but sometimes the public gets confused and wonders what’s cooking. But by the grace of God all is well.”

      
Now that we have heard from the horse’s mouth the rumor can die a natural death.
