Comedian Eric Omondi's name has been linked to Jacque Maribe's son Zahari for years, with many speculating that he is the father. However, the comedian has never publicly confirmed or denied the allegations.
On October 17, 2019, Jacque Maribe took to social media to share adorable photos of her son's graduation, captioning them 'Family first. Happy graduation day Zahari. We, mum and dad @ericomondi are proud of you!! '

Eric Omondi also struggled to explain why he had posted a photo of Zahari, stating 'That question has been asked a lot. Some people have called me up to ask why I posted the child's photo. It is a difficult question.'
