Eric Omondi Addresses Split with Lynne Njihia, Deletes Emotional Post Shortly After

Veteran comedian and renowned human rights activist Eric Omondi has spoken out following his much-speculated separation from his partner and baby mama, Lynne Njihia. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Omondi seemed to confirm that the breakup is real and not a publicity stunt—only to delete his message from social media shortly after posting it.

The 43-year-old, known for both his comic genius and activism, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a cryptic but emotional message, writing, “Dust is constant even after 40,”—a popular Kenyan phrase that reflects the inevitable messiness of life, especially in matters of the heart. However, the post was quietly taken down just a few hours later, leaving fans divided.

Some followers believe the couple is building hype for an upcoming project, accusing them of orchestrating a “clout chase.” Others, however, view the deleted post as a moment of emotional honesty, with Omondi choosing to step back and protect his family from the public eye.

The conversation around their breakup intensified last week when Lynne, a digital content creator and media influencer, confirmed via Instagram Stories that she had parted ways with Omondi. In her message, she cited personal peace, growth, and her vision for the future as the driving forces behind her decision.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Eric Omondi. It wasn’t easy, but it’s what’s best for my peace, growth, and the future I envision for myself and my daughter,” she wrote.

The announcement came as a surprise to many, especially since the couple had recently returned from a vacation in Dubai celebrating Lynne’s 24th birthday. During the trip, Omondi had shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to Lynne, calling her “the love of my life” and expressing love from both himself and their daughter, Kyla.

“Happy Birthday to the Love of my life… The Mother of my Child. May all your dreams come true, baby. Mimi and @kyla.omondi are here cheering you on, babyyyy. We LOVE YOU so much,” he wrote at the time.

Lynne, meanwhile, had emphasized that her primary focus at 24 would be advancing her modeling career. She revealed she had secured a contract with a UK-based agency and was prepared to relocate if necessary for the sake of her career and her daughter.

As speculation continues to swirl, one thing remains clear: Eric Omondi’s journey—from comedic stardom to activism, and now personal transformation—continues to capture the attention of a deeply invested audience. Whether this chapter marks the end or simply a new beginning, only time will tell.

ERIC OMONDI RESPONDS TO ACCUSATIONS OF DRAINING HIS FIANCÉE

Lynne, comedian Eric Omondi’s partner, has been openly sharing her post-pregnancy transformation.

Through photos and videos, she has documented her weight loss journey, revealing that she has shed several kilograms over the past year. Despite the challenges, she remains proud of the discipline and dedication that helped her achieve her goals.

Lynne’s Weight Loss Milestone

In a post from late 2024, Lynne celebrated her progress, revealing she had lost 17kg in eight months.

“This is what 8 months of consistency and discipline will get you 🥹❤️. 17KGS DOWN! It wasn’t as easy as it seems—it took sweat and tears. I feel lighter, healthier, and it feels amazing to be a size Small. I AM PROUD OF MYSELF.”

Mixed Reactions from Fans

While many praised her determination, some followers expressed that they preferred her previous curvier look. A few even suggested she had lost too much weight and should have embraced her natural figure.

Despite the criticism, Lynne stood by her decision, affirming that she is happy with her transformation and has no regrets.

Eric Omondi Addresses Claims of Stressing Lynne

As discussions about her weight loss continued, some social media users speculated that stress from her relationship with Eric Omondi might be the reason for her drastic transformation.

Responding to the claims in an interview with Trudy Kitui, Eric dismissed the rumors, stating that Lynne’s transformation is a result of her personal goals and hard work.

“People will always have something to say. If she had gained weight, they would have talked, and now that she has lost weight, they are still talking. What do they expect?”

He further questioned the logic behind the speculation:

“Lynne is young—do people expect her to gain weight and look like a mother figure? If she had put on weight, they’d have told her to go to the gym. Now that she works out, they claim she’s stressed. Let Lynne enjoy herself, slay, and feel good.”

Lynne’s Passion for Dance

Beyond working out, Lynne has also developed a passion for dancing. She frequently shares videos showcasing her skills, proving that she enjoys staying active.

Eric dismissed claims that stress led her to dance, emphasizing that she does it purely out of enjoyment.

“So now I’m stressing her, and that’s why she’s dancing? No, that’s just the haters talking.”

Lynne and Eric welcomed their first child, Kaylah Omondi, on August 9, 2023.

Eric Omondi exposes his baby mama for wearing his torn boxers

Online, comedian and philanthropist Eric Omondi, the boyfriend of digital content developer Lynne Njihia, and his partner share personal details of their relationship with their admirers.
In a video posted on Lynne’s YouTube channel, the couple played a card game called “Questionnaire” and revealed previously undisclosed information about their parenting style and relationship.
Lynne began by underlining that they were given the question cards just before they sat down to shoot and that they had no prior knowledge of the questions. The fact that neither of their inquiries was comparable made the discussion much more engaging.
The two got into it, showing off their adorable, carefree sides as well as some of their uncomfortable, almost cringe-worthy characteristics.

Eric began by stating that potatoes are the food that most describes his partner; he did not, however, elaborate on the reasoning for his selection of that particular dish.
Nothing could have prepared you for Eric’s response when Lynne asked her baby daddy to reveal the most embarrassing item she wears around the house. Things took a hilarious turn at that point.

“Kale kangotha kangu ka black ulichukua…

You know that underwear of mine that you repossessed? It has a hole on the backside or is it at the hip area…, yes it has a hole but it is there, when we go home go check,”

Regarding the most ridiculous thing the couple has ever quarrelled over, Eric dismissed the issue with a laugh, claiming that all of their disagreements were ridiculous. But after retelling the one he believes is the best, they got into a heated argument.

“You should have asked the opposite, like what is the most serious thing we have argued about. But sasa ile argument kabisaa I will say socks. Yes, socks. Now the thing is I put dirty socks on our kid’s side. Socks chafu naweka side ya Kaya kumbe hufaa kuweka hapo, hii side ya mtoto.

Like Kaya’s side is so clean, so mimi nikifika tu natoa socks but huwezi weka anything hapo, socks, viatu or anything,”

Bringing out a dish that she would never try Lynne emphasized that she would refuse to consume omena even if it meant starving to death. They were unattractive, bitter, and had an odd appearance, she said.

 

Eric Omondi’s baby mama, Lynne Njihia, opens up about her horrific birth and delivery story

Lynne Njihia, the baby mama of comedian Eric Omondi, recently opened up about her horrific birth and delivery story in a bonding session with Amber Ray.

Njihia said that she suffered throughout her pregnancy, experiencing morning sickness, acid reflux, gastritis, and ulcers. She was hospitalized every week from 34 weeks on.

At 34 weeks pregnant, Njihia went into labour. She was driving when she started to experience crampy bloating. She called her mother and told her what was happening.

Njihia’s mother took her to the hospital, where she was seen by a gynaecologist. The gynaecologist admitted Njihia and gave her an injection because the baby’s lungs weren’t fully developed.

Njihia then began experiencing persistent vomiting. The doctors told her that she would need an emergency C-section because the baby was too small to push and she could get tired.

Omondi was not allowed to be in the operating room, so he waited on the other side to receive the baby and take her to the nursery.

After delivery, Njihia felt like vomiting again as the anaesthesia wore off. However, the medics were in between shifts and couldn’t attend to her. According to Njihia’s mother, she passed out and was unresponsive for an hour.

Omondi panicked and left the hospital, while Njihia’s mother tried to wake her up.

“I was told that she was tapping me,” Njihia said. “Eric akaishiwa na nguvu akawachana na mimi [Eric ran out of strength and left me]. She told me I was silent for one hour. Then after that, I started crying.”

Njihia was horrified by her post-surgery recovery. “The first walk weuh,” she said. “You can’t talk, laugh, cough. If you turn, you get stressed.”

Njihia is now recovering from her childbirth experience and is grateful for her healthy baby girl.
