Posted on by Ozymandias

Phil Karanja, founder of Phil Production, has opened up about the lessons he learned following his divorce from actress Catherine Kamau, popularly known as Kate Actress.

“Divorce pushed me to introspect, to examine where I fell short, what I missed, and what I could have improved. It’s never productive to play the blame game. During that time, I sought conversations with men and women who had experienced divorce,” he shared.

Phil also explained that these interactions inspired him to make a personal vow: to avoid harboring bitterness about the experience in the years to come.

“You meet someone who’s been divorced for five years, and they’re still bitter. I told myself I don’t want to be that person. I decided not to channel my anger or blame towards my ex-wife. Instead, I chose to focus on myself and acknowledge where I made mistakes,” he said.

Kate Actress and Phil Karanja’s Separation

In September 2023, the former couple publicly announced their divorce through a joint statement on social media. They requested privacy to protect their children.

“We reached the decision to end our marriage a while back and have since separated. We kindly ask everyone to respect our request for privacy for the sake of our children,” the statement read.

Phil reiterated that their relationship would remain amicable as they continued to co-parent and collaborate professionally.

“This is a matter between two people, but we wanted to address it briefly so we can move forward. Kate and I remain friends, co-parents, and business partners,” he stated.

Kate Actress, Larry Madowo, and Octopizzo Speak Out on Abductions

Posted on by Ozymandias

The recent surge in abductions has sparked reactions from Kenyan celebrities, with many calling on President William Ruto’s administration to take action. While some have voiced their concerns, others remain silent, raising questions about whether they are out of touch with the gravity of the situation.

Catherine Kamau, widely known as Kate Actress, has consistently been a vocal advocate for Kenyan citizens. From participating in the #EndFemicideKE march in February to protesting against the Finance Bill 2024 and demanding better governance, Kate has never shied away from standing with ordinary Kenyans.

Unlike some celebrities who have hesitated to take a stand, Kate quickly joined Kenyans both online and on the streets to demand justice for victims of abductions. Addressing the issue, she urged her followers:
“Guys, as you celebrate, please note that so much is going on. So many abductions, which now the IG distances himself from, are happening… It’s a dark era. It is heart-wrenching to imagine the anguish and uncertainty these families must endure. The absence of their loved ones is a constant reminder of how cruel and unjust this government is, and it must go!”

CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo has also played a pivotal role in bringing global attention to Kenya’s challenges. Madowo, who has covered various crises in the country, returned from leave to report on the abductions.

“I’m not here to support or oppose anything or anyone. I’m only here to tell the truth and ask questions,” Madowo stated. Highlighting the ongoing crisis, he noted:
“Two days after President Ruto promised to end abductions in Kenya, 29 people are still missing. Previous abductees were stripped, handcuffed to the floor, and tortured for weeks. Where do you draw the line between power and dictatorship?”

Madowo’s fearless reporting has earned him recognition from Kenyans on social media, who recently praised him as a true patriot for shedding light on the nation’s struggles.

Rapper Henry Ohanga, known as Octopizzo, also used his platform to address the crisis, condemning the abduction of young Kenyans expressing themselves through art and other creative means.

“Once again, I strongly condemn the abduction of young Kenyans using art, illustrations, and creative outlets to express frustrations and advocate for change. These actions, seemingly sanctioned by unknown forces within the government, violate our constitutional right to free expression,” he stated.

Octopizzo emphasized that art is a non-violent form of demonstration and an impactful way to raise awareness, urging the government to stop silencing young voices through repression.

During the protests earlier this year, celebrities came under scrutiny for their muted responses to the unrest. Many only spoke out after Kenyans threatened to withdraw their support, highlighting the importance of public figures using their platforms for advocacy and accountability.

As Kenyans continue to voice their discontent both online and through street demonstrations, Kate faced criticism for her perceived insensitivity and lack of a clear stance on the issue.

The public outcry against Kate Kamau and other celebrities, including Eddie Butita, has been intense. Many fans accused them of “fence-sitting” during a critical moment for the nation. The discontent even led to calls for boycotting brands like Harpik and Nice & Lovely, for which Kate serves as a brand ambassador.

In response to the growing pressure, Kate took to social media to clarify her position. She posted several protest movement posters on Instagram and reaffirmed her stance: “My stand has been and still is #RejectFinanceBill.” This declaration aimed to show solidarity with the protesters and dispel any notions of indifference.

The controversy also stemmed from Kate’s involvement in President William Ruto’s state visit to the US in May. She was part of an entourage that attended a luncheon at Tyler Perry Studios in honor of the President’s visit. Reports emerged that the trip, involving at least 30 people, had cost Kenyan taxpayers an estimated Sh250 million, sparking public outrage.

Acknowledging the backlash, Kate Kamau issued an apology for her initial response to the criticism. She wrote:

“I want to sincerely apologize for the insensitive comment I made on my Instagram page. After much reflection, I realize that it was a reflex response to the false allegations about my recent trip to the US being government-sponsored. I reiterate that it wasn’t. However, I acknowledge that I should have responded in a more respectful way. I remain committed to using my platform to advocate for all our fundamental rights as a people, and will continue to voice my support for the betterment of our country.”

Kate’s apology was met with mixed reactions. While some fans appreciated her willingness to acknowledge her mistake and apologize, others felt the damage had already been done.

Well having had her second baby 13 years since her first born – of course her body wasnt ready for the many changes that came with the pregnancy hence her struggle to shed off the baby fat. And again, being a celebrity especially an actress – one can imagine the pressure she was putting up with in terms of image.

I told them (the hospital), I wanted to lose weight but not this much coz I still want to be a curvy girl.

For this reason she went in for weightloss journey and barely 6 months into it and Catherine Kamau has called it quits. Speaking about this, you’ll be surprised to hear that the surgery worked so good for her – to a point she felt she was shedding off wanted weight hence quit.

Catherine Kamau weight loss

Speaking about this for the first time – the actress says her main reason for intragastric balloon placement procedure is because she wanted to attain a certain figure for a role she had just landed in an acting gig.

Catherine Kamau shedding weight

However with time, she started losing more than she hoped hence having the ballon removed for good and replaced that with gym work out sessions to help tone and sculpt her body.

I realised that my body would shrink and I might not look like the same person. I would not look nice. I talked to them and they told me after a month they would incorporate movement and change my diet so I don’t end up losing so much and look saggy.

Catherine Kamau finally slimming down after ‘ingesting ballon’

Catherine Kamau is getting her sexy back by all means and this is why she recently under the knife for gastric balloon procedure at Nairobi Bariatric Center.

Catherine Kamau

Her reasons for losing weight did not just include looking sexy but a healthy lifestyle now that she’d been declared Class 1 Obese bordering Class 2. Well, that’s after she welcomed her 2nd child – 13 years after she gave birth to her firstborn son.

Her body however started becoming overweight after giving birth: and unlike the first time she had a baby….this time around Catherine Kamau’s body fat was multiplying too fast; and the toughest part is that despite the dieting and eating healthy….the stubborn fat couldn’t just go away.

Catherine Kamau sliding back to old figure

For this reason – Catherine Kamau ended up opting for a gastric ballon procedure which aims at minimizing her food intake. With the ballon, Catherine Kamau rarely over eats – which is a big help for the weight loss.

Well, a few weeks after the procedure and the actress has already started showing the changes in terms of body size. Flaunting her new figure, Catherine Kamau shared a photo and video whining her waist while parading body goals online.

To caption her post, she wrote;

Till we get it right ???????? 6kgs down, lots of inches lost. A gastric balloon is NOT a quick fix, its a step in the right direction, you still have to put in the work, eat right, portion control.

“Thank you for saving lives” Catherine Kamau to Aida Alisha after speaking out on abusive marriage

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Catherine Kamau aka Celina was the main act on TV show Mother in law until Aida Alisha joined the cast as Olive – hence making the whole show more spicy.

Despite their rivalry on the TV series, these two ladies some connected as good friends in real life – and from what we’ve heard so far is that they’ve been friends for over 7 years now.

 

Tbt: Idah Alisha (Olive)

Speaking during an interview with Lynn Ngugi about a week ago, Olive opened up about her abusive marriage, cheating husband; and why she never spoke of her marital woes immediately after the divorce.

Young and in love

Although Olive says her ex husband was something like a villain disguised as a super amazing man – she still couldn’t bring herself to leaving him despite the everyday fights.

Tbt: Aida’s wedding day

Just like everything that has a beginning and an end – Olive finally gathered strength to leave a few months after their grand wedding. Close friend Catherine Kamau apparently housed her for a few months – and this is what solidified their friendship.

Well, having Catherine step in during the hardest times of her life Olive (Alisha) bonded with the lady to a point that they even became sisters.

At that point she could tell her bestie Catherine Kamau the deepest secrets from her awful marriage – which explains Kate’s reaction after Olive finally shared her story.

As seen on a comment shared by Catherine Kamau on Lynn Ngugi’s YouTube interview with Olive, she wrote;

I am so proud of you. It has taken you years to heal. Thank you for saving lives because I know you are. I love you so much. Lynn we love you so much, God bless you for this platform.

We wouldn’t really want to over-read Kate’s comment – but one things for sure…chances are that Olive’s ex man could be putting someone else’s daughter in the same situation – and because people don’t believe her – she’s ends up stuck in the toxic marriage. No? Let’s then keep our ears open.

Planning on having more kids with Phil Karanja?

On the same interview we also learnt that Catherine Kamau surprisingly has no plans on having more kids. I mean how? Is hubby, Director Phil also on this?

I’m assuming her decision is a result of the fatigue that comes with parenthood; especially since she also happened to have her second born in her mid 30’s.

Anyway, according to the actress, the two kids (one from previous relationship) she currently has are enough for her; and will not be adding any more anytime soon or in the future.

Speaking to Spm Buzz, Catherine Kamau said;

This comes as a big surprise especially judging from how secretive Catherine Kamau has always been when it comes to her family. So far we have had the chance of meeting both her parents (through wedding day photos and anniversary) but since then the old folks remain on the low.

The Kamau sisters

Her sister who is as gorgeous as she is has however never made it to Catherine’s social media pages; but since she was celebrating her birthday on Tuesday, 23rd – Kate then decided to introduce.

Fans in the comment section were undeniably ogling at the fine mami; while others inquired whether she was single – so as to shoot their shot! Anyway from the photo below it’s obvious to see that the two ladies are indeed siblings – as their parents genes almost left them looking like twins.

Anyway, check out the  hot sister that has left the male species drooling online.

“Hukuniambia humeangi nywele” Actress Catherine Kamau blames husband for daughter’s baldness (Photos)

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Actress Catherine Kamau remains as one of Kenya’s or rather Africa’s finest actresses; and what makes her even more interesting is the fact that her personality is to die for.

She is not only a go getter but hard working mum who juggles both her career and family like a boss. Unlike most actresses, Catherine Kamau has not been dragged into any scandal – but as usual – never say never.

Her husband Phil Karanja on the other hand was almost caught up in some drama involving Kibe’s minor girlfriend; but luckily the damage control was done fast and carefully enough not to notice.

Hair genes

Away from that, Catherine Kamau has come out to blame her husband’s (Phil Karanja) hair genes which were passed down to their daughter.

This not being the first time Catherine is complaining about her daughter’s bad hair; this time around she was calling out Phil for not being open about the baldness gene in their family.

Catherine Kamau is among the most celebrated actresses we have come to see in decades. She is not only gifted as an actress but has a golden heart that has seen her win many fans around East Africa.

Tbt; pregnant Catherine Kamau

I bet what most fans love about her is how real and human she is. Before the fame and money, Catherine Kamau had to drop out of campus after she got pregnant with her first child. However this minor set back did not make her give up on her dreams; and during a recent interview she made it known that having a child was the beginning of her blessing.

At the moment, Catherine Kamau and husband Phil, own one of the most successful film and production company dubbed ‘Phil It’ which has helped build the people they are today.

Private home

While many celebrities continue to squeeze themselves in rentals; Catherine Kamau and her family already build their home which she unveiled this Christmas.

Although her intentions were not to publicize her home; we managed to get screenshots from her latest hilarious video which shoes a section of the mansion.

Judging from how the home looks, fans couldn’t help but applaud Mrs Karanja for the far she has come. Indeed, owning a home like hers not only proves that she is good at saving but shows how hard working she has been in the past few years.

Anyway check out the huge mansion below.

Priceless! Catherine Kamau’s husband and step son serving ‘daddy and son’ goals with new photo

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Catherine Kamau is proud to have both her husband and son bond in a special way despite not being blood related. As we all know, Catherine Kamau conceived her baby boy immediately after joining campus in Uganda.

According to the actress, she was just a naïve girl in a new country with new friends; and I bet any lady from a strict family would have made use of the freedom the same way Catherine Kamau did.

However sadly Catherine Kamau ended up having too much fun which led to her son existence; but looking back, this may have seemed like a set back – but years later Catherine Kamau this experience as a blessing in disguise.

Although her son’s father remains anonymous, Director Phil Karanja has been playing the daddy role for years; and looking at the bond he shares with Catherine’s son – one wouldn’t say he did not father the handsome boy.

Daddy and son goals

Apart from just bonding, the two recently went on a daddy and son photoshoot where they had quite an interesting experience. Well, this is judging from the photo shared by Catherine Kamau on her page appreciating her soldiers. she went on to caption this post saying;

Everything ❤️

This is probably another way to give thanks for having survived the hectic beginning back when she got pregnant; and seeing the struggles life threw her but still managed to survive. Indeed her boys bring nothing but joy in her life not forgetting how special addition of baby Karla.

Being popular and all, the Karanjas made sure to have a low key wedding but as much as it was private; trust me the set up looked just confirmed that this wedding was not just any ordinary ceremony.

From Catherine Kamau’s gown to husband Phil suit – it was evident that these two had gone all out for their special day; and since they had been working nonstop to achieve this beautiful dream… why not spend!

However what fans didn’t know is that these two had strained themselves to ensure the wedding was perfect; and i’m pretty sure Phil had planned to give his wife the best honey moon – forgetting that there is life after the wedding.

Before baby K happened, actress Catherine Kamau had been maintaining her natural figure 8; which she now has to sweat for in order to achieve her goals.

Judging from how long she has taken before hitting the gym; it’s also evident to see that the mum of two prefers putting her kids first like most celebrities who care more about their physical appearance.

No Pain no gain

This time around working out for Catherine Kamau seems to be harder than before; however the actress says she will continue putting in effort until she gets where she has been hoping.

Through her Instagram page, the lady went on to post saying;

One thing about me ,I fall , hard sometimes but I never stay down , I almost gave up this time but then I remembered nothing worth having comes easy. My health comes first.

Having seen her shrink into smaller sizes before; I bet Catherine will be parading her petite figure on Instagram in just a few weeks.

Actress Catherine Kamau has left many tongues wagging on social media after unveiling her grandparents homes back in the village.

Unlike most celebrities who have refused to invest back home; Catherine has proven to be one smart lady! Clearly she is not like most celebrities who fear showing where they come from since they never invested; or even thought of changing there parents lives so during events like funerals; you find most trying to hide the shame.

However this is not the same when it comes to Catherine Kamau. Judging from her recent post, Mrs Karanja is seen giving fans a tour of her country side; and from what we can see is that the Kamau’s family has really invested back home.

The Kamau’s residence

According to Catherine Kamau, her grandparents own two homes that is a mansion and bungalow. Judging from the sizes too, it’s no secret that they must have spent a huge amount to have the houses built.

Anyway, Phil Karanja must really be proud of his visionary wife; and truth is, this woman will ensure her future generations knows nothing to do with poverty!

Kate actress is sure a fun personality to be around. This time round, she opens up on life as a teenager, being a young mom, ditching studies for the film industry and finally meeting the love of her life.

The curvy, fashion enthusiast was hosted by Churchill comedian MC Jessy who was left in stitches for a better part of the interview, unable to contain Kate actress’ high sense of humor.

Apparently, the award-winning actress was thrown out of school, since a young age, because of her character and love for drama, at the expense of her studies.

Attending 2 high schools and 3 Universities, hopping from one to another for different reasons. However, her mom never gave up on her, fighting for her education and this leaves Kate actress so indebted to her.

Catherine Kamau’s mum

It so happened that her mom footed KSh400k to take her to an International University in Uganda, after studying at KCA proved difficult, only for her daughter to return home 3 months later, pregnant.

Since then life was never easy, the 19-year old mom took up motherly duties for her son, life proved difficult but Kate learnt to be strong and mature.

The beauty later got into Multimedia University where she landed her role at Mother-in-law that has since opened big doors for her.

She toiled day and night and put in all the hard work just to bring up her son in a conducive environment.

The meet with Phil Karanja

At Mother-in-law, Kate met Phil but not in a good way. Kate was this don’t care woman, living life like there is no tomorrow while Phil was the focused, visionary man.

Phil Karanja and Kate actress

Kate strongly disliked him, but it was until she got her act together that Phil started having a soft spot for her.

Slowly, the two got pretty close but now there was a teenage son on board whose opinions needed to be heard.

Kate’s son never liked her mum’s boyfriend from the beginning, but after some time, the two became close friends. And it was just before their wedding date that he for the first time called Phil ‘dad’.

On their wedding date, it was a teary affair as the boy read out a loving speech to the Phil It co-founder who turned emotional.
