Jim and Keturah met during the filming tour in the United States, and the feelings blossomed between them. Jim Iyke even told the fans that he is planning on marrying Keturah soon. But, unexpectedly for everyone, Jim and Keturah a messy breakup, and Keturah obviously held a grudge against Jim, saying that she was by his side for six years and he just dumped her without even giving her a phone call. Nobody knows what happened between them, but Keturah seemed really hurt by Jim’s change of heart, especially knowing that they were planning a wedding.

Jim Iyke wife

Not long after his previous romantic connections, Jim Iyke found a new love. It turned out that Dana Kinduryte, which is the name of Jim Iyke’s sweetheart, is from Lithuania. She resides in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, even though her family comes from the second largest city Kaunas. She is a law graduate, and when she met Jim, she had no idea that he is super popular in Nigeria.

According to Jim Iyke, Dana is the woman who truly is the one for him. He said that she understands him better than anyone else in his life and that the fact she is a regular woman, not a celebrity, helped a lot. Jim Iyke feels that many of his past affairs were too publicized. He is trying not to flaunt their relationship too much.

Jim Iyke son

Dana Kinduryte gave birth to their son on September 1st, 2015. Jim Iyke son name is Harvis Chidubem Iyke. As Jim Iyke confessed in the interview, the birth of his son completely changed his life, making him a stronger and better person. He even refused the help in raising his son from his and Dana’s families, because he wanted to go through the entire experience of raising a child without anyone’s interference. He learned the basics of fatherhood on his own, and it taught him a lot of things he did not understand before. Jim Iyke loves his son more than anything.

Of course, the media is curious if Jim is ever going to get married to Dana because it seems like she is the love of his life. The actor dismissed this question in the interview, apparently because it was too personal. But we genuinely hope that their relationship will not repeat the fate of his previous ones since it looks like Jim and Dana really appreciate each other.
