Former Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe has set the record straight on her relationship status, following days of speculation on social media.
On October 22, 2019, Maribe confirmed that comedian Eric Omondi is the father of her four-year-old son Zahari, in a post on Instagram that captured the couple together with their son on his graduation day.
"Family first. Happy graduation day Zahari. We, mum and dad @ericomondi are proud of you!!," she captioned the photo.
However, the post sparked confusion among her fans, with many wondering who between murder suspect Jowie, blogger Dennis Itumbi, or Omondi she was dating.
Responding to the speculation, Maribe clarified her relationship status, stating, "@Dannydunhillison nilitangaza hukuona. Niko single AF. Those are my friends."
Maribe and Omondi dated briefly in 2014, but she later kept the father of her child a secret. She has also been linked to Jowie, but seemingly dumped him after his incarceration, and has been 'tight' with Itumbi, who has attended some of the court proceedings.
