On July 6, 2021, YouTube content creators Nick Ndeda and Muthoni Gitau announced their separation in a video posted on their joint channel.
According to the video, the couple decided to go their separate ways after seven years of being together, citing that their shared goals were no longer tenable.
Nick acknowledged that he was not as committed to their shared goals as Muthoni was, who had been making most of the effort.
Muthoni stated that she intends to explore the dating pool, having skipped that experience when she got into the relationship at 23.
‘After 7 years, this feels like the best decision for both of us. The plan is to grow and heal as individuals as we evaluate what we want moving forward,’ they stated on their YouTube platform.
The couple clarified that their YouTube channel would continue running under Muthoni's management, while Nick focuses on his personal projects.
They also assured their fans that they are on good terms and will not engage in any public feud.
‘This decision was not made overnight. It has been three months of thinking and talking to professionals. There are also certain external factors that have contributed to the decision,’ Muthoni said.
‘There are also certain people that made the decision very easy, certain people... I know they are watching so that they can make phone calls, do it!’ Muthoni added.
