In a heartfelt Instagram post on Sunday, Iyke praised Henshaw for her kindness during his early career, recalling how she helped with transport fare, food, and audition advice. Despite his growing admiration, he admitted she saw him as a younger brother.

“You knew all that time I wanted to hit that,” he wrote, in a tone both crude and nostalgic.

Iyke reflected on how fame later changed the dynamic between them. By the time they shared an intimate moment, he said he had become “too wild and restless” to maintain a real connection.

“She was everything, but I wasn’t ready,” he suggested, referring to the missed opportunity for something deeper.

He also mentioned her later marriage and motherhood, describing it as “a union that ended in praise,” a phrase that triggered speculation but also admiration for its cryptic elegance.

The actor didn’t shy away from humour, joking that Kate had unintentionally raised the bar for beauty in Nollywood. “Young women do too much now because Kate made it look too easy,” he quipped.
