On October 17, 2019, Jacque Maribe, a former Citizen Television News Anchor, made a significant revelation about her personal life. In a post on Instagram, she confirmed that Eric Omondi is the biological father of her son Zahari.
Maribe shared a photo of the three of them, herself, her son Zahari, and Eric Omondi, captioning it 'Family first. Happy graduation day Zahari. We, mum and dad @ericomondi are proud of you!!'
Eric Omondi also shared the same photo on Instagram, without adding any additional comments. The photo was taken at their son's graduation ceremony.
Although Maribe and Omondi never publicly discussed their relationship, Omondi had previously admitted to dating Maribe. However, he did not provide any details about their relationship.
When Maribe was accused and arrested over Monica Kimani's murder, Omondi's comforting message to Zahari sparked speculation that he might be the father of Maribe's son. However, it was unclear at the time.
