On July 19, 2019, Quincy Timberlake's first wife, Rose Mueni, shared her side of the story about their 10-year marriage.

Ms. Mueni described their union as 'blissful,' saying it was a love at first sight that led to a quick courtship and the start of a family.

"Quincy is an amazing person, people can pick just this one person out of the two and paint this other one as if they came from hell. And in the first place I could not have stayed with him for that long if he was an animal or a killer," Ms. Mueni said in an interview.

She added that Quincy was a family man who loved children, and their three kids could attest to this.

However, their marriage came to an end when Quincy met former TV anchor Esther Arunga, and he left for Australia with her.

Ms. Mueni admitted that the separation and media frenzy that followed were not easy for their children, who faced constant stares and questions from their friends.

"It was hard for my children and it is to date, it has never been easy for them. They would go to school and because the story was all over they had friends who would ask those questions about their father," Ms. Mueni said.
