Willis Raburu's Troubled Marriage

Journalist Willis Raburu's marriage to Marya Prude took a dramatic turn when he discovered she was pregnant with another man's child on their wedding day.

According to reports, Marya Prude was already expecting a child with another man before she married Raburu, and the couple went ahead with the wedding despite the complications.

Raburu has spoken publicly about his feelings, saying, 'Before our wedding, my wife had someone's kid. But because I loved her I just wanted us to get married and I raise the kid but deeply I felt so bad.'

He added, 'Out of the love I had for the lady, we decided to settle down and even go for honeymoon in the States. I had no personal feelings about that because any child is a blessing from God.'

However, the couple's happiness was short-lived, as Raburu struggled to come to terms with the fact that he was going to welcome another man's child into his life.

Tragically, the couple suffered a miscarriage, and the loss of their unborn baby Adanna was the final blow to their marriage.

Following their separation, Marya Prude was reportedly found in her mother's toilet with a tie around her neck, and she was rushed to the hospital after attempting to take her own life.

It has been claimed that Raburu has since moved on and is involved with a Ugandan woman, Mivanoella, who has denied the reports.

Meanwhile, Marya Prude has been living in a rental property in Thindigua, Kiambu county, following their separation.
