Comedian Eric Omondi has spoken about his journey with Jacque Maribe, a friend and mother of their grown son, in a recent interview with Reverend Natasha on her YouTube channel.
According to Eric, he met Jacque at Radio Africa in 2011, where they both worked at different radio stations - Eric at Radio Jambo and Jacque at Kiss TV.
They started off as friends, and their friendship eventually led to their first date at Sarit Center. Eric has described Jacque as a true friend, saying, 'Alikuwa reporter Kiss TV. Tukapatana tukakuwa marafiki sana. Tukaenda date pale Java Sarit Center. Tukawa marafiki na mimi nikatoka hata yeye akatoka akenda Citizen. Since then were tight. We’re the best of friends na sisi tunajiambia kila siku whatever happens, we’ll remain best of friends. Tunajikumbusha kila siku. She’s a true friend.'
Eric also revealed what he looks for in a first-time date, saying, 'I wish to date or work with someone with respect. If I am meeting you for the first time, U would watch how you treat strangers and especially waiters or security men. That tells a lot.'
Eric and Jacque have been open about their relationship, and they have even publicly hung out with their son without fear of what blogs might write.
