“Belinda and I were together and for some family reason, we had to break up. My family insisted that I get married to an ex, Lisa. I won’t say it was the reason but money was part of the deal for me to get married to Lisa. I needed a job promotion and getting married guaranteed that. For me, I’d love to still be with Belinda but the family insisted. “
When asked why he wants Belinda back, Joey said Lisa and her family have realised he married their daughter because of their money and do not respect him.
“Lisa feels she’s the man and does not respect me. Even her family does not respect me because they’ve found out it was because of the money.”
Joey said he hopes to divorce Lisa if Belinda agrees to get back with him for them to get married.
“I’m actually looking forward to getting back to Belinda then we can file a divorce.”
However, Belinda said she did not want to get back with Joey. She added that she was happily in another love relationship and was getting ready to marry in about two months.
“I’m very sorry for you for whatever is happening to you but I’m happy in a relationship and I’m two months away from getting married.”
