Musician Kagwe Mungai and content creator Sharon Mwangi have announced their separation.
They broke the news to their fans in an open and sincere post on Friday via a joint Instagram post.
The ex-couples added that even though it did “cringe,” they felt compelled to be open with their fans while posting a photo of them hugging each other tenderly.
The statement read: “You have been a part of our journey and for that, we are incredibly grateful. We want to be transparent with you all even though sharing this publicly feels a little cringe. We know how easily facts can be misconstrued so know that anything you hear or read elsewhere is likely fiction or assumptions. The truth is, we have decided to lovingly separate as a couple. Our journey together has been extraordinary, filled with deep love and affection.”
But they also said that although their love for one another hasn’t changed, it has taken on a lovely new form as they each get the opportunity to follow their own paths and grow.
The two added that they didn’t have any bad feelings toward each other.
They asked their followers to interpret it as two of the greatest friends realizing it’s time to take some time off to live the lives they want.
“We won’t be engaging in further discussions on this and we deeply appreciate your understanding and respect for our privacy. Thank you to everyone who supported, prayed and rooted for us,” they declared.
Around March of last year, Kagwe and Sharon revealed their blossoming relationships, ending the rumors swirling among their fans.
Additionally, in November, Sharon revealed the personal facts of what transpired before the couple’s public disclosure on an edition of her podcast, “Best Kept Secrets,” which included guest makeup artist Joanna Kinuthia, Soila Curtis, and Michelle Shikie.
Sharon acknowledged that she was afraid to disclose their relationship to the public. She revealed that she had asked her close friend Joan for advice, and she was reassured that things weren’t as bad as she had thought.
“We had a lot of conversations because I was scared. We were not hiding, I had a conversation with Joan and she told me it was not as scary as I thought it was. We decided what our boundaries were,” Sharon remarked.
Kagwe, who has experienced heartbreak in the past, has earlier said that he was not actively looking for love. The artist had never previously flaunted his partner and had always kept his romantic life discreet.
“I am not dating anyone now because I don’t want disruptions. Plus, I have been busy with my album. I dated some days way back, which did not work. My heart has been cheated on for so many times,” Kagwe stated in an interview with Kiss FM.
