Comedian JB Masanduku says he has moved on after his divorce from radio personality Tina Kaggia and is now in a new relationship he believes could lead to marriage.
In an interview heard by Kiss FM, Masanduku said the relationship is different from his previous marriage because the two are open with each other. He said the experience has taught him that he moved too fast the first time.
He said he proposed to Tina after 11 days of knowing her, adding that he first met her when he went for a voice test at Radio Jambo. According to him, what began as a joke later became serious after public reaction pushed them to formalize the relationship.
Masanduku said they eventually went to Tina’s parents and held a wedding despite her being seven years older than him. The couple married in October 2013 in a low-key ceremony at the Attorney General’s chambers, attended only by family and close friends.
He said the marriage lasted three years and produced two children, but it did not work out. Masanduku also said he is legally divorced.
I am legally divorced, although at first we had agreed to do it privately without involving the court and the public. Then one day, I received a call from people asking to give me some job as an MC, which I agreed.
He said the meeting turned out to be a setup. According to him, when he arrived, he found Tina Kaggia’s lawyer and a police officer, who served him with divorce papers. He said he was later required to attend mentions before the divorce was finalized.
