A lot of fans said that his ex broke his heart, but Godson refuted it.
He said, “My ex didn’t really break my heart. We just parted ways amicably. We couldn’t handle each other, so we had to split. She was a very nice person; I liked her a lot, but she wanted to get married, but I wasn’t ready at that time.”
When the actor was asked about his specification of an ideal woman, he replied, “I have big eyes when it comes to women. My taste is huge when it has to do with women. I love pretty women, very intelligent, tall, sexy, God-fearing, hard-working, and then very beautiful.”
Mike Godson And Ini Edo
Another rumour surfaced claiming that Godson was dating Ini Edo, but Mike revealed it to be a big fat lie. According to him, I quote,
Ini is just my friend and my senior colleague. I have lots of respect for her.Those pictures were actually movie pictures.
I respect her a lot because she has done so well for herself and I am not going to deny being her friend because she is having bad press or something.
She is someone I respect so much and I admire her intelligence. I love very intelligent women.
Ini and I are very good friends; actually we’re very close. Ini Edo is someone I’m very free with.
She’s someone I can share my problems with and tell things about me. She’s the only actress I have a very close relationship with.
I have a lot of actresses as friends as well but the only one I am close to is Ini.
Ini also addressed the rumour by saying,
“No, I’m not. I’m in love with myself. I’m a single girl, very, very happily single”.
Mike said this when he was asked if he could date an older woman.
Well, it depends on the situation. Why not, after all age is just a number.
Once there is love and understanding and they both respect themselves, I see no big deal in marrying an older woman.
Also when he was asked what he wished to change about himself. Mike Godson said,
I want God to give me more wisdom to deal with women because they are so complicated. Women have really dealt with me. Women are meant to be loved and cherished not understood.
He said that the craziest moment of his life was when his very sick girlfriend at the time wanted him to make a quick round of love to her in the hospital bed. He said it was crazy and thanked God that they were not caught. This is contrary to the fake news that he is gay.
