Frankie Just Gym It, a fitness trainer, has been at the center of a controversy surrounding his alleged role as a deadbeat father. However, in a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, he has come forward to address these claims.
According to Maureen Waititu, the mother of Frankie's children, she is a single mother who bears the sole responsibility of caring for their children. She has accused Frankie of being a deadbeat father, who fails to provide for his children's needs.
Frankie, however, has denied these allegations, stating that he sends upkeep money every week, amounting to Sh6,000, and personally spends an additional Sh2,500. He also revealed that he pays Sh150,000 per semester for his son's school fees at Montessori, with his mother contributing a portion of the amount.
Furthermore, Frankie stated that he pays for nanny services, with the agreement being that he pays a specific amount, and Maureen Waititu tops up the remaining amount. He emphasized that he takes care of his children at all times and does not see himself as a deadbeat father.
Frankie also shared that he left the house for Maureen Waititu and their children to provide them with a comfortable life. He mentioned that he had proposed to Maureen in 2016 and had been living in a house in Ruaka with their son. However, due to increased rent, he decided to move out and provide a better life for his family.
Frankie's goal, as he stated, is to create a conducive environment for his children to grow up in. He believes that the house in Westlands, which he now resides in, is ideal for this purpose, being close to school and allowing him to visit his children frequently.
