“It won’t be acting one day!” Jackie Matubia’s radiant wedding gown and bright promise

Kenyan actress and digital content creator Jackie Matubia has expressed her enduring hope for a future where she walks down the aisle and experiences her own version of happily ever after. This sentiment was sparked by her character Zahra Mufasa’s wedding on Maisha Magic’s show Salem.

With over 1.1 million followers, Jackie shared multiple photos and a video capturing the enchanting on-screen ceremony, expressing her desire to manifest such a moment in real life.

In one photo, Jackie, adorned in a custom-made gown, stood radiantly beside her on-screen mother against a backdrop of gold, white, and blue. She exuded joy, envisioning her “big day” with a wide smile.

Another Instagram post showcased a video of Jackie flaunting her white mermaid gown, complete with sheer details at the chest, complemented by a sleek hair bun and a wedding veil.

Captioning the post, she wrote, “One day it won’t be acting,” affirming her belief in a future wedding beyond the screen.

In a final post, Jackie shared the spotlight with her Salem family, including her “daughter” Foi Wambui and fellow actress Mwende King’ori, all adorned in stunning deep blue satin dresses.

Amidst messages of love and encouragement from fans, some expressed skepticism, referencing Jackie’s past relationships, notably with Blessing Lungaho (aka Madiba), her former fiancé. Despite their engagement in 2022, the couple parted ways early the following year, disillusioning hopes of a lasting union. They share one child together and each has a child from previous relationships.

Despite the ups and downs of her personal life, Jackie remains hopeful, drawing inspiration from her on-screen romance to fuel her dreams of a real-life fairytale ending.
