November 23, 2019, marked a significant day in the ongoing trial of Jowie Irungu, the main suspect in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani. On this day, Jacque Maribe's father, Mr. Maribe, showed his unwavering support for his daughter and her former fiancé, Jowie.
Mr. Maribe's visit to court was a testament to his dedication to his family, particularly his daughter, who has been through a tumultuous time since calling off her engagement to Jowie. The engagement was a grand affair, but it was short-lived, as Jacque dumped Jowie after his arrest.
Later that day, Jacque Maribe shared a heartwarming picture of her and her father on social media, captioning it, 'Daddy goals. Appreciating this fine human being who takes you to lunch every week because of love. I have the best father in the world, Mr. Maribe you and mama are goals.'
As Jowie continues to serve time in prison, Jacque has moved on with her life, but her father's support remains a constant source of comfort for her.
