In response to the latter paramount allegations, Matubia went ahead to admonish Rowa to share screenshots of the conversation they had.

Matubia made a striking appearance in a burgundy ensemble that embraced the evening’s theme of ‘Regency Era Splendor: Into the Spotlight’.

However, despite the theme, Matubia’s outfit stirred controversy among her followers, particularly regarding its fit around her bust area.

In response, Matubia broke her silence, defending her choice and asserting that it reflects evolving fashion trends and contemporary sensibilities.

Matubia’s stylist, Nelly Mulandi, also supported the creation, emphasizing that every aspect of the outfit was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.

The reactions to Matubia’s outfit varied among her followers. Some, like Mary Kassy, drew parallels to the attire seen in ‘Bridgerton’, suggesting that the criticism was unwarranted. Others, like Lydia Muna, expressed concern about the fit of the outfit.

Among the attendees were LA-based Kenyan model and comedian Elsa Majimbo, acclaimed film star Catherine (Kate Actress) Kamau, NTV’s Amina Abdi Rabar, and established actors Manasseh Nyagah and Jackie Matubia.

Nairobi’s top celebrity stylists, Brian Babu and Lady Mandy, were also present, having styled several attendees. The bespoke outfits worn by Kate, Amina, Manasseh, and Jackie were all designed by Kenyan designers.

The event, themed ‘Regency Era Splendor: Into The Spotlight’, brought together Africa’s brightest stars, with special guest Adjoa Andoh, who plays Lady Agatha Danbury in ‘Bridgerton’. It featured world-class entertainment, including performances by South African group Beyond Vocals Acapella and Grammy-nominated artist Musa Keys.

Jackie Matubia, the multi-award-winning actress turned producer/director, is facing losses after her toddler, baby Zendaya, broke their 65-inch smart TV.

The camera panned to the TV, displaying children’s cartoons with blurry and colored lines running vertically and horizontally, indicating damage.

“Mom, are you sad?” Zari asked, while absorbed in her phone, seemingly unfazed.

“I am very sad, what do you mean ‘I am sad?’ I am very sad…” the actress lamented.

Zari, her eldest daughter, remarked on the situation, suggesting that if Zendaya didn’t have the toy, she wouldn’t have broken the TV.

Jackie then appealed to her followers for assistance, sharing her dilemma and emotional turmoil over the costly mishap.

“This is what I come home to… Please advise, folks. Should I buy a new one, or can this be fixed? Someone help this single mother because the pain I am feeling, a whole 65 inches! It hurts, folks,” she added.

In a subsequent post, Jackie attempted to reason with her oblivious toddler, who seemed unaware of the trouble she caused or the value of the damaged device.

“Looks like she’ll be the death of me one day,” the veteran actress captioned the video, where her adorable baby girl showed no remorse, only seeking cuddles from her mom.

Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia addressed recent media buzz surrounding her personal life at the premiere of her new web series, “Toxic.” She emphasized her move forward as a single mother and artist, refusing to dwell on the past.

“I’m an artist, an influencer, and this is what I do,” Matubia declared. “I tell stories. Being a single mom isn’t new, and my story won’t be the last one heard.”

Shifting the focus to her work, Matubia detailed the year-long journey of creating “Toxic.” Financed entirely out of pocket, the project represents a significant personal achievement.

“The tears during the introduction? Those were for the struggles,” she confided. “But a true passion doesn’t need outside validation.”

Matubia expressed gratitude to her supportive producer and dedicated cast for their contributions to the series. She described “Toxic” as a platform to explore the complexities of modern relationships, capitalizing on real-life experiences of heartbreak and breakups.

Actress Jackie Matubia reveals that her upcoming web series telenovela, ‘Toxic,’ draws inspiration from Kenyan women’s fascination with toxic relationships.

Penned by the late actor Charles Ouda, the series is slated to premiere on Matubia’s YouTube channel on the 17th of this month.

Matubia, also serving as the executive producer, will share the screen with Mike Saruni, portraying the main characters.

“Mike Saruni embodies this charming, handsome, yet addictive character. It’s a Kenyan phenomenon, women being drawn to toxic men who exude charm. That was the essence Charlie captured in his writing, and Mike Saruni effortlessly fits into that role,” Matubia explains.

Reflecting on Ouda’s involvement, Matubia admits initial uncertainty following his passing in February. However, she remained committed to realizing their shared vision.

“This project was our joint endeavor, and continuing it solo after Charlie’s demise was daunting. But I persevered, driven by the memory of our collaboration. Despite the challenges, I pressed on, knowing Charlie would have wanted me to,” Matubia reflects.

The bond between Ouda and Matubia had grown stronger over the past year and a half, making his absence deeply felt.

Renowned actress Jackie Matubia has made claims that her baby daddy & fellow thespian Blessing Lungaho is no longer in touch with her after their break-up.

The mother of two, who already has two baby daddies, divulged the latter in a recent interview with Trudy Kitui, adding that she only talks with her first baby daddy. She referred to Blessing as a ‘wall’ which doesn’t respond.

“I only talk to my first baby daddy. Yeah. Unajua ukiongea na ukuta huwa inarespond kweli? I rest my case,” Jackie Matubia said.

In response to the difficulties single moms have, Matubia gave supportive remarks, stating that being a single mother does not lessen one’s value.

The Break Up

Kenyan award-winning actress and brand influencer, Jackie Matubia, has confronted critics who speculated that she is expecting her third child without a father. Through her Instagram page, the mother of two dismissed the pregnancy rumors, stating that she is not anticipating any children soon and urged people to refrain from making unfounded assumptions.

The speculation arose after Matubia posted a photo of herself in a wedding gown, prompting many to speculate that she might be hiding a pregnancy. One critical fan commented that she would never wear a wedding gown in real life and insinuated that she might be adding another child without a father.

Matubia responded to the criticism, expressing that she is not surprised and doesn’t care much about public opinions. She emphasized the need for consideration before making statements and asserted that her experiences have been more challenging than the current rumors.

The actress asserted that even if she were to have ten children, they would be hers, and she has never sought help from the fathers of her children, nor does she plan to do so.

Matubia confidently addressed the wedding gown claim, stating that she has been through two failed marriages, and she does not see the value in marriage. She likened marriage certificates to college and university certificates, asserting that they do not guarantee success.

In conclusion, Matubia hinted at something significant coming in her life and requested support from the public when the time comes.

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.

Actress Jackie Matubia has opted to keep quiet about her connection with fellow actor Blessing Lung’aho, who is also her baby daddy.
Even though their relationship was once made public, Jackie and Blessing have avoided talking about why they split up about eight months ago.

Matubia Speaks On Co-Parenting

On February 27, Matubia was asked about the state of her co-parenting arrangement with Blessing Lung’aho during an interview with a local media outlet.
Matubia avoided the topic, choosing to respond incoherently even though it had been nearly two years since the birth of their daughter Zendaya.

Award-winning actress and certified lover girl Jackie Matubia seems unfazed by her ex-boyfriend Blessing Lung’aho’s new relationship.

Internet users have been anticipating Jackie Matubia’s response ever since Lung’aho’s romance was “hard-launched,” but the mother of two has shown that she is a hard pass.

Internet users will have to temper their expectations because Matubia said she is not interested in her baby daddy’s new relationship and seemed surprised by the anticipation while chatting to Ankali Ray on Milele FM.

Ankali: “Happy New Year shem, unaendelea aje?”

Matubia replied;

Niko salama, I’m at home taking a day at a time

When asked about the new lover that her baby daddy Lungaho posted on social media, she replied;

Kila mtu na maisha yake? Me I don’t even care what happens in his life. Imagine I don’t. Yeah, sijui waongelelea nani that shows how done I am.”

Actor Blessing Lung’aho disclosed last month that, following the collapse of his romance with Jackie Matubia, he is now romantically linked with Irene Mulita.

As they enjoyed time together at the Lake Elementaita Manor, Lung’aho and Mulita showed how much they cared for one another.

Mulita was seen relaxing on the same bed alongside Lung’aho, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and shorts, in a video that she shared on Instagram. Mulita was wearing a white bikini.

Actress Jackie Matubia recently spoke openly about her personal life, expressing her continued hope for a fulfilling future despite past experiences. While acknowledging the end of her recent relationship, Matubia emphasized her positive outlook and dedication to her roles as a mother and individual.

Embracing Single Motherhood

Matubia proudly identifies as a single mother, highlighting the strengths and unique perspectives gained from navigating this path. She encourages self-acceptance and challenges societal stigma surrounding single motherhood, inspiring others to find joy and fulfillment in their individual journeys.

Marriage and Partnership

Although personally experiencing challenges, Matubia maintains a positive belief in the potential of marriage built on communication, respect, and genuine partnership. This balanced perspective avoids negativity and promotes healthy discussions about relationships.

Jackie Matubia, a Kenyan actress and mother of two, recently shared her experiences with divorce and its impact on her views on marriage. In an interview with Nairobi News, she shed light on the financial and emotional cost of her 2019 divorce from her first husband, Kennedy Njogu.

“The process of getting divorced actually cost me around Ksh300,000,” Matubia revealed. “This can vary depending on the complexity of the case, especially if there are shared assets or disagreements about child support.”

She described the legal process as lengthy and arduous, further hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual court proceedings. “It was all very traumatizing,” she shared.

This experience has instilled a hesitant stance towards a second white wedding. “Having gone through such a difficult divorce, the whole process of marriage in Kenya can seem daunting,” Matubia explained. “The back-and-forth, the paperwork, the expense – it can make you very cautious about getting that marriage certificate again.”

Her preference now leans towards cohabitation before potentially considering another formal union.

“Don’t rush,” she advises. “Be open and honest about your concerns, like I was throughout my relationship. Not everyone wants to follow the traditional path of a quick engagement and wedding.”

Matubia emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting individual choices: “If someone wants to be engaged for 10 years before marriage, that’s okay. Some people need more time, and that’s perfectly valid. I myself would be comfortable living with someone for years before even thinking about a wedding.”

For the first time, award-winning Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia has opened out about her divorce from her ex-husband Kennedy Njogu, revealing the emotional and financial toll the process took on her.

In March 2019, the pair called it quits, citing irreconcilable differences.

In a special interview with Nairobi News, the mother of two discussed the difficulties she had while going through a divorce.

“I used roughly Sh300,000 for the process; that would change depending on your case. If you guys have assets together, a problem with child support. There is just a lot. There are a lot of hearings and so on. Mine was even traumatising because it was during the Covid-19 period, so your case is mentioned, you can’t go to court, you do online, then it’s canceled. That trauma really got to me,”

Matubia revealed that she was afraid of going through another white wedding, expressing her newly discovered doubts about being married.

“As someone who has been married before and gone through the scare of going through the divorce process, divorce in Kenya is not easy, and there is a lot of back and forth. You get scared of being married, getting that certificate,”

Matubia, who won critical praise for her performance in the popular television series “Tahidi High,” emphasized the psychological and practical difficulties that come with divorce in Kenya.

“Divorce is expensive, time-consuming, and getting yourself into it again. There are those that work, but if someone is going through that scare, it is better for someone to take time before they can commit to a marriage.”

She suggested a longer engagement time and cautioned against jumping into marriage too soon.

“Don’t be in a hurry, and if you can, just be open about it. I was open from day one even before the engagement. I was not sure I would go down that road of a church wedding. If someone is engaged for 10 years and not married yet, people should understand that some people are scared.”

In closing, Matubia said that although she wouldn’t rule out being married again, she wouldn’t jump into another one.

“I would even stay with the person in the house for over 15 years before I decide to do a wedding.”

Just months after ending her engagement with Blessing Lung’aho, actress Jackie Matubia has proudly unveiled her new partner, Maurice Kivs, on social media. Affectionate photos of the couple, one captioned “Does he hold you like this?”, leave little doubt about their blossoming relationship.

Jackie has embraced her new chapter, sharing her excitement with her followers. “New man in it,” she declared, throwing the invitation for wedding venue suggestions and convenient dates wide open. Maurice, a digital and talent manager for the Bahati’s, seems to have captured her heart.

This swift turn of events comes after Jackie’s June announcement of her split from Blessing, the father of her second child. In a reflection on single motherhood, she credited faith and self-love for her strength. “God has been the Alpha and Omega for my kids and me,” she shared, acknowledging the challenges and growth she experienced in 2023.

Beyond the joys of a new love, Jackie opened up about the struggles of dealing with a failed relationship and the loss of close friends. Her journey, from a joyous engagement in April 2022 to welcoming their son in June, was marked by both love and loss.

Jackie’s bold move to introduce her new partner and seek wedding advice speaks volumes about her resilience and optimism. She stands as an inspiration to anyone navigating the complexities of love and loss, demonstrating that new beginnings are always possible.

Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia has publicly introduced her new partner, Maurice, months after ending her engagement with Blessing Lungaho. On social media, she shared photos of herself and Maurice embracing, sparking speculation about their relationship.

“Does he hold you like this?” Jackie playfully captioned one of the photos, further fueling the anticipation among her fans. In another post, she took the excitement a step further by asking her followers for wedding venue suggestions and convenient dates.

This new development comes after months of rumors and speculation about Jackie’s personal life. In July, she confirmed her separation from Lungaho through an Instagram post, referring to herself as a proud single mother of two. The news surprised many, as Lungaho had proposed to Matubia on her birthday in April 2022, and they welcomed their first child together just two months later.

While details about Maurice remain relatively unknown, it’s clear that he has brought joy and happiness back into Jackie’s life. Their social media interactions paint a picture of a loving and supportive relationship, leaving fans eager to see where their journey takes them.

Jackie Matubia’s story is a reminder that love can blossom anew even after heartbreak. Her courage to move forward and embrace new possibilities inspires others to remain hopeful and trust in the power of second chances.

Jackie Matubia now says it was a prank, a day after flaunting an unidentified man while lounging by a swimming pool. The celebrated actress posted a video on Friday of a bearded man standing behind her in the pool and pecking her cheek, to which she gave a warm reception.

Perfect Design by Nyashinski served as the video’s background music, while Jackie included multiple red love emoticons to maybe convey her thoughts. Kenyans have noticed how swiftly this year’s superstars seem to be moving on to their next suitor. This is known in Kenya as “kuoga na kurudi soko,” which means that a person’s emotions following a breakup shouldn’t stop them from moving on.

After provoking replies on social media, she went back online on Saturday to address people who had written, “Hamjui jokes”.

She gave an explanation of her clout seeking on her Instagram profile by circling the bio.

“Weh hamjui jokes. Haya sasa tusome bio before muandike paragraphs,”

Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia, known for her role in the TV series “Salem,” has made a bold move by publicly expressing her desire for a new relationship. After previously stating her reluctance to be involved romantically, she has embraced her beauty and encourages potential suitors to make their move.

This declaration comes amidst personal challenges and controversies that have unfolded in recent months. In a recent Instagram story, Matubia shared a stunning photo of herself, acknowledging her undeniable beauty and declaring, “It’s officially a crime, someone marry this woman.”

This call for companionship follows social media activity that hinted at possible reasons for her separation from ex-fiancé Blessing Lung’aho. The couple, who became engaged in April 2022, seemingly encountered obstacles in their relationship.

One video showed Matubia’s daughter waiting for her father, sparking a message to women about choosing partners wisely. Drawing on personal experiences, she highlighted the importance of intelligence and the challenges she faced due to past choices.

Fans started noticing the potential split when Matubia removed photos of Lung’aho from her social media. Additionally, their collaborative content creation on her YouTube channel ceased.

While navigating personal matters, Matubia remains dedicated to her career and continues to captivate audiences with her talent. Her recent call for love suggests a newfound openness to a fulfilling relationship. Whether or not someone will answer her call remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Jackie Matubia is a woman confident in her worth and ready for the next chapter.
