Jackie Matubia Laughs Off Affair Allegations, Calls Them Baseless
Jackie Matubia has finally addressed claims made online accusing her of breaking another woman’s marriage.
The allegations surfaced on blogger Edgar Obare’s Instagram Stories, where anonymous users frequently submit unverified gossip. One woman alleged that during Matubia’s time on the TV series Zora, she had an affair with her husband—claims that the actress has now rubbished.
According to the accuser, her ex-husband—allegedly an NIS officer—bought Matubia a car and a house. “Matubia broke my marriage while acting on Zora. My former hubby got her her previous car and a house. One day I’ll send receipts,” she claimed, hinting at fear of exposing more details.
Jackie Matubia Responds
Matubia dismissed the accusations with humor, saying she was baffled by suggestions that she owns a house.
“A friend of mine sent me that story and I was like—maybe I don’t even know I was bought a car and a house,” she joked. “Can I really hustle this hard if I already had those things? My Lord!”
The actress urged Kenyans to stop spreading lies, adding that some men mislead their wives with stories about women they’ve never been involved with.
“Other people’s husbands should stop lying about us. And if anyone really bought me a car and a house under my name, please let me know so I can stop struggling. Imagine—it’s Sunday and I’m still hustling,” she said.
She also threw shade at Obare’s platform, quipping: “This tea has no sugar. Even I want those receipts. You mean to tell me I’ve had a car and a house for the past four years? Please, I’d love to give people a house tour.”
Love and New Beginnings
Beyond the drama, Matubia has been vocal about embracing new chapters in her personal life. Earlier this year, she shared her 2025 resolution: to open herself up to love again.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, the former Tahidi High star admitted she had shut the door on romance in 2024, but her outlook has since changed.
“This year, when you pray, remember Jackie Matubia. I’m ready for love, ready to love again. I had said 2024 was ‘abadan kataan’ (never ever), but in 2025 I’m open. Send your CVs and tell me how much you love me,” she playfully told fans.
Matubia said she hopes to find a relationship that feels “pure, secure, and real.”
Her reflections mark a shift from 2023 and early 2024, when she was still adjusting to life as a single mother after her breakup. Looking back, she described that period as one of resilience:
“Speaking from a single mom’s perspective, there is a lot of fear. I ask myself, ‘Can I hold my family together while still achieving my dreams?’”
She admitted that while she once valued the security of being with her children’s father, moving forward required courage:
“If something doesn’t scare you, it’s not worth it. Fear is what pushes you.”
For the future, Matubia’s prayer is simple: fewer struggles, more “soft girl treatment”—and tears of joy instead of hardship.
