“It’s my person’s birthday đđ˝đĽšâŚ well then (unrolls scroll). Happy Birthday to the most amazing, funniest, gorgeous, hardworking, finestđ and most generous Nyeri man I know đ,” she posted, adding, “Thank you for bringing sunshine into my life.”
Mike Mwangi, who serves as the General Manager at Tribe Hotel, has clearly won Kate’s affection.
This celebration comes following Kate’s announcement last September of her separation from her ex-husband, Phil Karanja.
In a joint statement, the former couple disclosed that they had decided to end their marriage some time ago and had already parted ways.
“We mutually agreed to end our marriage a while back and have since separated. We kindly ask everyone to respect our privacy and that of our children,” the statement read, signed by both Kate and Phil.
Actress Kate Kamau, popularly known as Kate Actress, has issued a heartfelt apology following backlash over her recent comments amid the ongoing protests against the 2024 Finance Bill.
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 Kateâs involvement in President William Rutoâs 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.
Kate clarified that her trip was not funded by the Kenyan government but was an invitation from the US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman. She explained on social media, âSome of us donât need government money to thrive. This trip is completely self-funded. This is me investing in my brand and taking care of my business.â
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.”
Kateâs 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.
Several Kenyan creatives have joined President Ruto on a highly anticipated historic visit to the US. Among them, Kate Actress and Eddie Butita have announced their invitations from the US Government to attend a State dinner at the White House and a luncheon with renowned Hollywood producer Tyler Perry.
Kate Actress expressed her excitement and gratitude on social media, sharing her anticipation for the events ahead. She posted a photo of the White House and extended her thanks to US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, for the invitation.
“Good morning. This village girl will be attending the STATE DINNER at the White House and a Luncheon at the Tyler Perry studios in Atlanta, by invitation from Her Excellency Ambassador Meg Whitman. @usembassynairobi, your efforts and commitment towards the growth of the Kenyan creative economy are greatly appreciated,” she wrote.
Kate highlighted the progress made in the creative industry, attributing it to the ongoing efforts to support the arts.
“If you see us artistes, especially actors, getting emotional under this post, please understand that we were ignored and disrespected for so long by previous administrations. We contribute 5% of Kenya’s GDP. We matter,” she emphasized.
She continued to inspire young and ambitious actors, encouraging them to take pride in their craft and seize opportunities.
“Dear young and ambitious actor, we have done the crawling. Now walk with your heads held high. It’s about time your craft takes care of you. The time is now; keep reinventing yourself through your craft. We are not waiting until the end,” she urged.
Tyler Perry, based in Atlanta, Georgia, owns a 330-acre property and has numerous awards as a producer and director.
Messages of congratulations poured in for Kate Actress from fellow creatives and fans alike:

Catherine Kamau, popularly known as Kate Actress, has hinted at the possibility of undergoing another cosmetic procedure after a previous weight loss surgery did not produce the desired outcome.
In an Instagram interaction with fans, the actress discussed her thoughts on a potential second cosmetic surgery. Recently, she shared workout photos and expressed frustration over the challenge of balancing a healthy diet with achieving her desired abs.
“The constant battle between Food and ABS đŠ Mai lawd! But anyways, these gym fits are the cutest. Super stretchy and comfy tooâŚ,” she captioned her post.
Her sentiments struck a chord with many followers who empathized with her struggle to maintain diet and fitness.
“The struggle is real!!!!” commented her friend, actress Izareeh.
Responding to Izareeh’s comment, Kate Actress hinted at saving up for liposuction.
“But at least we are saving for lipo,” she replied.
In 2022, Kate Actress underwent a gastric Allurion procedure as an alternative weight loss method, which she initially described as life-saving. However, she opted to reverse the procedure after experiencing excessive weight loss beyond her desired outcome. She removed the gastric balloon after just four months, during which she shed 15kg in the initial weeks.
“I told them (the hospital) I wanted to lose weight but not this much because I still want to maintain my curvy figure,” Kate Actress explained.
Additionally, in a TikTok video, she disclosed having used silicon that lasted for eight months, emphasizing that the success of such procedures relies on maintaining portion control and incorporating regular exercise.
“If you don’t learn portion control and how to eat light and move your body, you’ll be doing zero work. You still have to put in some effort,” she advised.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses suction to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck.
Film director Philip Karanja and his wife, Catherine Kamau, popularly known as Kate Actress, recently clarified the reasons behind selling his black BMW X3, a vehicle he had initially gifted her as a push gift.
In a recent interview with Nairobi News, Karanja revealed that he made the decision to sell the luxury vehicle, valued at approximately Sh3.5 million, due to its exorbitant maintenance costs. He expressed regret over his initial choice to purchase the car, acknowledging that it had been an expensive journey to maintain.
âI love cars a lot, and so I was young and foolish, and I spent so much on my car, and it has been a very expensive journey to maintain. I am like, that is a car I would have used wisely somewhere. I sold it. I have decided to go back on Uber,â explained Karanja.
Karanja had shared an image with the BMW X3 just a day before announcing his separation from Kate Actress in September 2023. The image featured him beside the sleek vehicle that he had gifted Kate for her birthday in January 2020, a month after the birth of their child.
The couple clarified that the decision to sell the car was made mutually. In a social media statement, Karanja wrote, âI wish to officially document that the vehicle was sold with mutual consent, and there are no disputes with Kate, contrary to any portrayals suggesting otherwise.â
Kate Actress reposted the statement, adding, âKindly redirect that energy to watching the new season of Becoming CEO. We ainât about that life. Poleni and thank you.â
Renowned actor and film director Philip Karanja recently revealed that he sold the black BMW X3 he had gifted his wife, Catherine Kamau, also known as Kate Actress, in January 2020. The car, valued at approximately Sh 3.5 million, was sold due to its high maintenance costs, as Philip disclosed in an interview with Nairobi News.
Expressing regret over his decision to purchase the luxury vehicle, Philip stated:

This revelation came during the launch of his latest show, âHaki Mwitu.â
The actor-director shared that âHaki Mwituâ revolves around four vigilantes who, fed up with rampant corruption, take matters into their own hands. The show, which began production in 2023 and is still ongoing, aims to address societal issues through its narrative.
Interestingly, Philip shared an image with the BMW X3 just a day before announcing his separation from Kate Actress in September 2023. The image featured Philip standing beside the sleek vehicle he had gifted Kate for her birthday in January 2020.
Kate Actress celebrated the luxurious gift on her social media, expressing gratitude for the reward.
âEvery push has been rewarded,â she captioned a video showcasing her new ride, with another post quoting, âGod says try me! Do your part!â
During the interview, Philip also discussed his production companyâs plans for the year.

Phil Production also has a new series in the pipeline, and we plan to release a new film this year. Thereâs a lot to watch out for,â he added, promising an exciting lineup for fans in the upcoming months.
Catherine Kamau is among the few celebrities that have opened up about their struggle.with weightloss to a point they opted for an easy way out that is – gastric bypass surgery or rather swallowing a ballon to lose weight.
Catherine Kamau pregnant
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.
Catherine Kamau with her son, Leon
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 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 sheâd been declared Class 1 Obese bordering Class 2. Well, thatâs 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 babyâŚ.this time around Catherine Kamauâs body fat was multiplying too fast; and the toughest part is that despite the dieting and eating healthyâŚ.the stubborn fat couldnât 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.
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 weâve heard so far is that theyâve 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 couldnât bring herself to leaving him despite the everyday fights.
Tbt: Aidaâs 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 Kateâs reaction after Olive finally shared her story.
As seen on a comment shared by Catherine Kamau on Lynn Ngugiâs 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 wouldnât really want to over-read Kateâs comment – but one things for sure…chances are that Oliveâs ex man could be putting someone elseâs daughter in the same situation – and because people donât believe her – sheâs ends up stuck in the toxic marriage. No? Letâs then keep our ears open.
Catherine Kamau has been floating on air with happiness after her daughter Njeri turned 2 years recently; and yes we totally understand why she couldnât keep calm.
Having had her first born while still in college, Catherine Kamau popularly known as Kate actress never got to do much for her son; but 15 years later she has every reason and all the money she needs to spoil her second child, Njeri.
Catherine Kamau alias Kate Kamau with her adorable baby girl, baby K
As seen on her page, the toddler was taken out for classy princess photoshoot for her birthday; and the photos seem to have captivated fans by the striking resemblance between Catherine Kamau and her baby girl.
This comes  as a surprise judging from how Catherine Kamau once made her fans believe her daughter had taken after daddyâs genes – hence the stagnant hair growth.
However from the photos shared below, fans beg to differ judging from the striking resemblance between Catherine Kamau and her baby girl, Njeri. Anyway to mark the special milestone, Catherine captioned her daughterâs photos saying;
Let me tell you maina , I had prepared a whole photo shoot , she shot in this one dress and was DONE ,njeri hapangwingwi ????
Actress Catherine Kamau has lately been keeping a low profile; unlike back when she was all over social media with her projects.
This is probably because she is a wife and new mum to a year old daughter; and with 24 hours a day – clearly Catherine Kamau canât carter to hubby; and still maintain her previous lifestyle on social media like before.
However speaking to Spm Buzz during a recent interview; Kate made it known that she is doing everything possible to ensure her personal life doesnât affect her career in any way. Speaking about this Kate said;
 I try as much as possible to re-invest myself once in a while; so I can keep up with the trend
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?
Iâm 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 30âs.
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.
Catherine Kamau with husband, Phil Karanja
Speaking to Spm Buzz, Catherine Kamau said;
 I have two children and am done.
Well – chances are that she is speaking for herself and not hubby, Phil Karanja; who may be interested in more kids especially since he only has one baby, that is Njeri. But who knows!
Actress Catherine Kamau popularly known as Kate actress has unveiled her only siblings after years of keeping her off social media. Through her Instagram page, the actress went on to introduce her sister, Nyambu in a post where she wrote;
Tbt: The Kamau sisters with their mum
Happy birthday to the most amazing sister , my only sibling , my therapist , my lawyer , you are wise beyond your years , such a pillar of strength to us all ,we love you so much NYAMBU, am amazed by your strength ????â¤ď¸????. May God grant you your hearts desires ,may peace and favor be upon you as you go through life … Happy birthday mama Bunbun â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ @nyambura_kamau_
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 Catherineâs social media pages; but since she was celebrating her birthday on Tuesday, 23rd – Kate then decided to introduce.
Catherine Kamau daddy and mummy
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 itâs 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.
Actress Catherine Kamau remains as one of Kenyaâs or rather Africaâs 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.
Catherine Kamau with husband, Phil Karanja
Her husband Phil Karanja on the other hand was almost caught up in some drama involving Kibeâs 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 husbandâs (Phil Karanja) hair genes which were passed down to their daughter.
This not being the first time Catherine is complaining about her daughterâs bad hair; this time around she was calling out Phil for not being open about the baldness gene in their family.
Catherine Kamau alias Kate Kamau with her adorable baby girl, baby K
Of course the aim of this post was to give fans a reason to smile; but also shows how people walk into relationships only to learn about the bad stuff later on.

Him : yaani zile breakfast za 6am zilikuwa PR
Me: Na wewe hukuniambua humeangi nywele hapo mbele ????????ââď¸

Catherine Kamau with baby K
Hopefully baby K will one day rock a ponytail whether in a few years or in her teenage years. But we still love her!
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 âPhil Itâ 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 couldnât 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.
Catherine Kamariâs homeKate actress shows off homeCatherine Kamau and Phil Karanjaâs home
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 naĂŻve 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.
Tbt; pregnant Catherine Kamau
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;
Catherine Kamau’s son and husband
Everything â¤ď¸
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.
Catherine Kamau and husband Phil karanja gave fans a reason to talk shortly after sharing their wedding photos. 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.
According to actress she got or rather they got so broke; since the honeymoon in Seychelles turned out to be more expensive than expected. But of course they wouldn’t cancel but luckily, they survived.
Anyway as part of appreciating her husband, Catherine Kamau went on to post saying;
Catherine Kamau weds Phil
Msituone hapa tulikiwa tumesota mbaya after wedding, we went to Seychelles for our honeymoon we had no idea how expensive the island was ,weeh nways we survived. Word of advice, spend less impressing guys kwa wedding and travel the world with your manz for your honeymoon. Happy anniversary Mr money manager , ???????? we still had fun .
But true love always conquers all and for this two, this was just stepping stone to greater heights!
Actress Catherine Kamau is currently working on her unwanted baby fat that has been stuck in her body since conceiving baby K. However after one year of catering for her newborn but now that she is all grown; mummy can spend some time taking care of her body.
As seen in new posts shared by Catherine Kamau we now believe that she is currently in the gym as she aims to shed off the weight she has gained in the past 2 years. 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.
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 Kamauâs family has really invested back home.
The Kamauâs residence
According to Catherine Kamau, her grandparents own two homes that is a mansion and bungalow. Judging from the sizes too, itâs no secret that they must have spent a huge amount to have the houses built.
Well of the video below just shows Catherine Kamauâs grandparents homes; then you can only imagine how grand her parents homes look.
Kamauâs residence back in the village
As for now all we have are just screenshots of the two homes owned by her grandparents; but since she is still in the village, we hope that Catherine gives us a tour of her parents home too.
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 actressâ 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.
Catherine Kamau with her son back in the day
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.
Kate actressâ all-grown teenage son
The meet with Phil Karanja
At Mother-in-law, Kate met Phil but not in a good way. Kate was this donât 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.
Kateâs son never liked her mumâs 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 âdadâ.
Phil Karanja with their son
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.
âOn our wedding day, my son read a speech telling Phil thank you for stepping in. Thank you for being my dad, you earned itâ.

Catherine Kamau has now joined the list of celebrities using photoshop to look slimmer on social media; and unfortunately for her, fans could not overlook the fact that she also enjoys the fake life.
This is after the mother of 2 shared a photo parading her curves on girls night out. Dressed in a figure hugging outfit looks like Catherine hopped her she would pull the flat tummy, tinny waist look; but having given birth about 9 months ago… this did not work out so well for her.
Her detective fans quickly went on to point out the weird looking shape between her arm and the flower vase seen on the post. Seeing that fans had already seen this, the mother of two wrote;
Catherine Kamau
 Console yourselves na photo shop , videos loading , never been fake , never will be sis ????
Well, giving birth transforms a woman’s body in an unexpected manner; and just like most mums, Kate Kamau also added the baby fat weight. This can clearly be seen in her latest photos shared on her Instagram page.
However due to the pressures of looking perfect she ended up giving fans a reason to troll and mock her for preaching water and drinking wine. But hey, who said a little photoshop hurts?
Actress Catherine Kamau has left tongues wagging on social media shortly after unveiling a new photo of her daughter, Baby K. Judging from the reactions and number of comments left on the post; it appears that fans had been waiting to see the adorable baby K after weeks of being hidden.
Anyway now that they are on vacation, Catherine Kamau could not hold back from sharing yet another stylish photo of her baby girl on Instagram. This time around, she did not talk about the bad hair genes from hubby, Phil Karanja; but the adorable rolls seen on her baby’s thighs and arms.
The popular actress went on to caption her post saying;
Having been blessed with baby K almost 13 years after she welcomed her son; Catherine Kamau has since been talking about her blessing with hubby Phil Karanja.

Catherine Kamau is a favorite to many. And this is because the actress has always has always been real and from the look of things; she might just be the voice young women need to listen to.
Just recently the lady went on her instagram account sharing an important message; where she schooled her followers on the importance of educating and protecting the girl child.
Her post comes just a few hours after 4000 minors from Machakos were reported to be pregnant. This is because of children remain at home due to the on going pandemic lockdown.
However, with this kids at home and no money to survive on, most of these young girl have turned to older men for small cash; and now most are expectant with their first children on the way.
Tbt; pregnant Catherine Kamau
Educate your sons
As much as the young girls are to blame; Catherine Kamau also feels that parents should also step in and talk to their daughter’s on the importance of waiting for the right time.

My heart is completely broken ???? the teenage pregnancies statistics reported earlier this week (if factual ) are shocking , we need to speak louder IT IS NOT OKAY , BABIES ARE NOT ACCESSORIES, YOUNG QUEENS PLEASE WAIT . YOUR TIME WILL COME . However Some of them are victims of rape and fallen pregnant as a result , ????????ââď¸, where is the law ??
Being a mother of 2, Catherine Kamau also feels that the boy child should be schooled since it takes two to tangle and the girl child should not be blamed alone. This is also because some of the pregnancies were brought by forced sex (rape) and the culprits continue to stroll around free.
She went on to add saying;
We need to have this conversation with our sons too , takes 2 to tangle , we must raise a better generation.
Lastly, the popular actress concluded by saying;
This is heavy ???? N/B did this video last year , itâs on YouTube
