Carllie Taggett, a US lady, has presented Jim Iyke with evidence of marriage, insisting that her marriage to the Nigerian actor and fashion enthusiast is still legally binding under US law.
The actor, whose full name is James Ikechukwu Okolue Esomughua, wants a divorce from the medical student and entrepreneur
She insists, citing abandonment, that Jim Iyke fulfil the legal requirements for the divorce process, with the attendant spouse benefits carefully considered.
We met in Georgia and married in 2017
Remember that Taggett claimed she married the popular actor in 2017 after meeting in Norcross, Georgia, in the United States in 2016.
She said in an interview that the union became legal on January 30, 2017, in Dekalb County after a marriage certificate was issued as validation by the appropriate authority.
The actor is said to have ended the marriage, which Taggett described as a source of pain and emotional trauma in her life.
“It has been a pain I bore all these years, I have tried to be reasonable to understand why he abandoned our marriage without a divorce, but he has been evading me, that is why I decided to call his attention, pending when he decides to be reasonable or face the consequences of his actions in marriage court in the US,” she said.

All I want is for him to divorce me legally
Taggett said she hopes the actor will “be a man” and initiate a divorce process in the US where they got married, saying that is the only way they can escape the current “mess.”
“All I have always asked is for Jim Iyke to be a man and come out to give me a divorce so that I can move on with my life because it is impossible to be remarried while my marriage to him is yet to be dissolved through a legal process. “Let me reiterate the point that no one is against him, I just want him to voluntarily come to divorce proceedings or he can take the initiative of coming out for us to settle outside of divorce court if he is serious about it. I don’t think I am asking for too much. All he needs to do is re-establish communication with me because he knows how to reach me, it is that simple,” she said.
Attempts to contact actor Jim Iyke were unsuccessful because he had yet to respond to messages sent to him via his Instagram account.
