“I am extremely emotional today 😔. Happy 18th, my big baby. With everything that is happening around us—mothers losing their innocent sons to police brutality and other injustices a black boy child faces in today’s society—I just want to hold you a little closer today, with so much gratitude to God for getting you to this big age. We did it, my boy. Happy Birthday, my heart 😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.”

In an interview on the Churchill Show, the mother of two recalled how strict her mother was, limiting her interactions with boys.

“My mum is very strict, so we did not mingle with boys. I went to an all-girls boarding school.”

She later attended college in Kampala, where she experienced newfound freedom.

“Here I am, we are in class with boys. Our dormitories were separated, but by the end of the day, we had already mingled. It was like freedom—I could go out… within three months, I was pregnant,” Kate recalled.

“I never understood anything about contraceptives… you learn about that in class, but you don’t really think you need them. I went for a morning-after pill after three weeks.”

Breaking the news to her parents was difficult, especially since her mother had taken a KSh 400,000 loan to educate her.

“Before the day she came back, I wrote her a very long letter and then disappeared to my friend’s place for a week. She was shocked. She asked me to come back home. I never want to see my parents that disappointed… it was really bad,” Kate shared.

Kate Actress Responds To Ronoh’s Claims That She Steals Her Content

Ronoh used her  X handle to name-drop and call out several individuals with a series of allegations.

“Kate actress just be stealing my content daily,” the content creator alleged.

However, in a quick rejoinder, Kate Actress made it clear that her content is inspired by fellow content creator and radio host Auntie Jemimah.

“Coolest Rich Auntie. My Inspo,” Kate actress captioned Auntie Jemimah’s photo she had shared on her Instagram.

This is not the first time Chebet is accusing other content creators of stealing her content.

In today’s rant, Ronoh also attacked scriptwriter Abel Mutua saying: “Anyway if I release Abel Mutua’s dms to me,”.

In March 2023, Ronoh was a trending topic again after alleging that Kate Actress and Elsa Majimbo, were riding on her fame and creativity.

“I began this sh!t. Why are we pretending Elsa Majimbo is funny? They copy everything I do mahn..lay to sleep the copy cats,” she said in part.

It’s widely thought that Chebet Ronoh and Elsie Majimbo deliver their content the same way.

Phil Karanja and Kate Actrress blast Milele FM host

Ankali Ray, the fearless, courageous, and brave presenter of Milele FM, spoke with Phil Karanja and Kate Actress this week about their separation.

Prior to asking the awkward questions, Ankali expressed sympathy for the former Tahidi High actor during their interview.

“Naongea na nani?”

The radio host’s response, however, did not satisfy Phil, who went on to inquire whether it was appropriate for him to call at that time.

“Hii ni muda ya kupigia mtu?”

To which Ankali Ray responded saying,

“I was just calling to give my apologies,”

In response Phil hung up.

Ankali, however, is a persistent person, so he made the decision to phone Kate Actress and try again to express his sympathy for her.

But as soon as the radio host began speaking, Kate abruptly ended the call, much like Phil before her. But do you believe Ankali was let down by her answer?

Ankali simply shrugged it off, adding that he would continue to work to uncover the truth in the future, similar to how he had previously handled Phil.

The ex-couple has remained silent about the circumstances of their breakup, despite numerous media outlets attempting to break the story.

However, it appears that despite having every right to do so, Kate and Phil have chosen to keep quiet and refuse to say what exactly led to the breakdown of their lovely marriage.

But only lately did Kate have to address a wild rumor that was going around the internet about her firstborn son.

According to a blogger on Wednesday, Kate’s son decided to stay with Phil after learning that his mother had broken up with him so she could stay with the girl.

The claims made on X were met with Kate’s remark, “This is nonsense!”
