Catherine Kamau alias Kate Actress and long-term spouse Philip Karanja have separated. In a social media post seen by Globpedia, the two confirmed their divorce.
“We came to a conclusion to end our marriage a long while ago and are separated. We sincerely request everyone to honour our wishes for privacy for us and our children,”
The statement was shared simultaneously on Kate and Phil’s social media profiles, bringing to an end long speculations of a rocky marriage. Being one of the country’s most popular couples, the duo have been on the limelight for over a decade.
Kate, a renown actress with spells on Mother-in-law, Maempress, Sue na Jonnie and romantic comedy film Plan B, married Phil in a flamboyant wedding several years ago. The two were blessed with two children at the time of the divorce.
The Infidelity Claims
While the social media streets continue to speculate on what might have led to the divorce, serious claims point to infidelity. Although the couple often showed a tight knit relationship on social media, sources close to the couple suggested otherwise.
It is not particularly clear on who was on the wrong as both allegedly had lovers outside marriage. Kate Actress, with a long career on screen, attracted the high and mighty in society. She has been spotted hanging out with the elite both here and outside the country. One netizen suspects she might have been seeing politician Hassan Joho at some point. However, this remains to be confirmed.
Phil Director, on the other hand, was the guy behind the scenes. His career majorly revolves around directing and producing programs. He made several appearances on Hullabaloo Estate, a local comedy show produced by his company Phil-It Productions.
It is not clear on who Phil was seeing outside his marriage but rumour has it that it was a popular Nairobi-based actress. In fact, a friend close to Phil claims it was Kate Actress’s close accomplice.
