Award-winning comedy act, Eric Omondi has fueled confusion among fans after revealing Chantal will fly in for Christmas barely days after confirming they talk daily.

What raised eyebrows most was fact that even after dumping Maribe for Chantal before reversing the situation, he still has no stand on his woman.

If anything, it has left us more confused. Out having a lifetime with Jackie and their son, but still in daily contact with Chantal.

To make matters worse, he has announced that Chantal will be in Kenya for the December festivities.

Eric has previously reiterated that he never broke up with his Italian lass, Chantal, like it all seemed to be like.

Chantal and I never broke up and neither did we separate – Eric Omondi affirms

Speaking in an interview with Rembo TV, the crafty comedian said he is very much together with Chantal. Adding that she will be flying in come Christmas.

Chantal and I never broke up and neither did we separate. If you read what I wrote and what she wrote, she was going to school and had to handle other life things. We are not even on a break and she is coming over to Kenya for Christmas.

Comedian Eric Omondi recently opened up yet again of how he met fellow comedian Churchill while still in campus.

Omondi surprised Churchill at a Churchill Show event in Naivasha by making a cameo appearance at the show after seven years.

In the show, he confessed how instrumental Churchhill was in his life.

“In 2006, while I was a second-year student at Daystar, I was an MC at an event which Churchill attended,” Eric said.

“He was impressed by my skills. I was to ask for his phone number later, but he asked for mine. I waited for two years before he called me in 2008 to inquire if I was ready to perform.”

Meeting

Omondi said that meeting churchil ushered him into the comedy world.

“I have never told this story to anyone anywhere. People keep asking me how I met Churchill,” Eric said.

“I used to MC at events and people would later tell me that I made them laugh. They kept on asking me to conduct other events. Then one day, when I learnt that Churchill, who was prominent at that time, would attend an event in the school, I got excited.

“I did not want to propose myself to MC the event. So I waited. However, I was given the chance and so I really did my best. I performed narratives and poems,” Eric went on. 

And finally saying:

“He asked me to watch 12 episodes of the show and to get ready to perform at the 13th episode. That was my breakthrough,” Eric said.

 

 

Revealed: Employment stands in the way of Eric Omondi and Chantal´s Happily Ever After

President of comedy, Eric Omondi has seen the world witness his unspeculated breakup with Chantal but opens up that employment opportunities forced the two apart.

Up and close with EDAILY, Eric Omondi stated that upon granting Chantal her wish, they reached a mutual agreement to call of their romance but stick as allies.

The popular comedian expresses:

What Kenyans did not know is that Chantal has never been Kenyan; she is Italian.

Whenever she jetted into Kenya, she always came to visit me.

With her tourist visa, she cannot work in the country.

Chantal´s stay in Kenya meant she cannot fend for herself, therefore all she could do was stick around her boyfriend.

Meanwhile Eric Omondi was busy doing his tours and all and she therefore felt she needs formal employment.

And, she recently asked me if I can allow her to permanently stay in Italy and get formal employment there.

And because I had seen her stay in my house doing nothing meaningful, I saw it wise to grant her her request.

The only option the 4-year old couple had was to grant Chantal her request to engage in formal employment in Italy but that also meant, no frequent visits.

This would prove tough on them because they would have to bare with the situation of a pretty long distance relationship that none knew when it would end.

Given we would stay far apart from each other over an unknown period, we reached a mutual agreement to end the relationship.

Therefore, calling it off was their best option but close allies, they remain.

We do wish them well.
