TV star Jacque Maribe must be having a difficult moment after her lover was arrested over a capital murder.
As a human being, let alone being a star as Jacque is, it would give you nightmares to imagine that you spent a night in bed with someone who had used a knife to slit open another person's throat.
Jacque's lover Joseph Irungu has been arrested and charged with the gruesome murder of Monica Kimani in Kilimani.
As this story takes a toll on the soft-spoken Maribe, netizens have snaked into her private life and wondered whether she 'jumped from the frying pan to a burning fire' when it comes to dating.
Before the murder suspect that is Jowi publicly proposed to Maribe, rumour mills had it that she was dating President Uhuru Kenyatta's former social media hatchet Dennis Itumbi.
When Jowi went down on one knee and Jacque said yes, Itumbi was reminded of the proverbial boy who spends time with a beautiful girl without saying a word and ends up fetching water on the girl's wedding day.
To be specific, Itumbi was the butt of all internet jokes. He, however, came out and said they never dated with Jacque; they were just friends.
But netizens rushed to the gallery and brought him this photo
Do girls give such a passionate kiss to friends?
Before the entrance of Dennis Itumbi and before Jacque Maribe became the household name she is today, a light-skinned, quiet scribe had stolen her heart.
The man is none other than journalist Oliver Mathenge. Mathenge was the guy who introduced Maribe to the many sources you need to thrive in the media industry.
After 'knowing the town', she reportedly dumped Mathenge like a hot iron. The move saw him sink into depression and alcoholism.
