Following her high-profile separation from actor Tyler Mbaya, widely known as Baha, Njenga shared a candid message with her followers regarding the “depressive episodes” she has navigated while maintaining her career in the public eye.
The influencer recently took to her Instagram Stories to post a behind-the-scenes photo from a professional shoot, but the caption told a story far different from the glamorous image on screen. She admitted that the moment captured was actually a test of pure resilience rather than excitement, explaining that she had sent the photo to her best friend at the time because she “was not herself.” Her message, “God knows what we deal with behind cameras,” highlighted the often-ignored reality of influencers who must perform and remain professional even when dealing with profound internal struggles.
As she continues to co-parent her daughter, Astra Kamau, with her former partner, Njenga reflected on the fact that healing is rarely a linear process. She acknowledged the progress she has made but was quick to admit that the journey hasn’t been without its significant challenges. Her transparency served as a powerful reminder to her audience that the “perfect” life seen on social media is often a mask for a much more complex and difficult recovery process happening off-screen. By speaking out, she emphasized that while she still chooses to show up for her work and her family, the emotional weight of a breakup doesn’t simply disappear once the cameras start rolling.
