Kenyan screen queen Kate Actress has once again proved she’s unbothered, speaking candidly about her views on marriage just days after her ex-husband, film director Phil Karanja, introduced his new partner to the world.

“Divorce pushed me to introspect, to examine where I fell short, what I missed, and what I could have improved. It’s never productive to play the blame game. During that time, I sought conversations with men and women who had experienced divorce,” he shared.

Phil also explained that these interactions inspired him to make a personal vow: to avoid harboring bitterness about the experience in the years to come.

“You meet someone who’s been divorced for five years, and they’re still bitter. I told myself I don’t want to be that person. I decided not to channel my anger or blame towards my ex-wife. Instead, I chose to focus on myself and acknowledge where I made mistakes,” he said.
