Comedian Eric Omondi's joyous announcement of his girlfriend's pregnancy on Instagram has been met with skepticism, particularly from his baby mama Jacque Maribe, a prominent media personality.
Maribe, who has a seven-year-old son with Omondi, took to the comments section to express her shock at Omondi's promise to take responsibility for his new child, citing his history of being an absent father.
“Responsibility? @Cate Maribe come I can’t speak. Seven years of responsibility,” Maribe sarcastically said, referencing the years she has been raising their son alone.
Maribe's sister Cate supported her allegation, adding that Omondi does not pay school fees for their son.
Netizens have been left wondering why Omondi displays flamboyance on social media while neglecting his parental responsibilities.
Maribe stood her ground, insisting that she brings up her son alone and expressing her love for motherhood.
“I have an absolute love for my son, the fruit of my womb that I wanted. And I’m blessed to be the custodian. Respect me for being real. You can read in between the lines if you want. I’m hopelessly in love with motherhood. My goal as a single mum is to raise a brilliant person,” she said.
