Eric Omondi Addresses Split with Lynne Njihia, Deletes Emotional Post Shortly After

Veteran comedian and renowned human rights activist Eric Omondi has spoken out following his much-speculated separation from his partner and baby mama, Lynne Njihia. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Omondi seemed to confirm that the breakup is real and not a publicity stunt—only to delete his message from social media shortly after posting it.

The 43-year-old, known for both his comic genius and activism, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a cryptic but emotional message, writing, “Dust is constant even after 40,”—a popular Kenyan phrase that reflects the inevitable messiness of life, especially in matters of the heart. However, the post was quietly taken down just a few hours later, leaving fans divided.

Some followers believe the couple is building hype for an upcoming project, accusing them of orchestrating a “clout chase.” Others, however, view the deleted post as a moment of emotional honesty, with Omondi choosing to step back and protect his family from the public eye.

The conversation around their breakup intensified last week when Lynne, a digital content creator and media influencer, confirmed via Instagram Stories that she had parted ways with Omondi. In her message, she cited personal peace, growth, and her vision for the future as the driving forces behind her decision.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Eric Omondi. It wasn’t easy, but it’s what’s best for my peace, growth, and the future I envision for myself and my daughter,” she wrote.

The announcement came as a surprise to many, especially since the couple had recently returned from a vacation in Dubai celebrating Lynne’s 24th birthday. During the trip, Omondi had shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to Lynne, calling her “the love of my life” and expressing love from both himself and their daughter, Kyla.

“Happy Birthday to the Love of my life… The Mother of my Child. May all your dreams come true, baby. Mimi and @kyla.omondi are here cheering you on, babyyyy. We LOVE YOU so much,” he wrote at the time.

Lynne, meanwhile, had emphasized that her primary focus at 24 would be advancing her modeling career. She revealed she had secured a contract with a UK-based agency and was prepared to relocate if necessary for the sake of her career and her daughter.

As speculation continues to swirl, one thing remains clear: Eric Omondi’s journey—from comedic stardom to activism, and now personal transformation—continues to capture the attention of a deeply invested audience. Whether this chapter marks the end or simply a new beginning, only time will tell.
