Despite going separate ways, the couple reaffirmed their commitment to privacy and the well-being of their family and requested that the public and media give them space as they navigate this personal chapter.
The two also asked members of the public to respect their privacy, adding that they will not be making further statements on their separation.
“We will not be making any further public statements whatsoever regarding this matter at this or at any other time -and we do appreciate your understanding,” the couple added.
The couple exchanged vows in a lavish wedding ceremony held at Safari Park Nairobi on October 16, 2021.
