Lilian Ng\u2019ang\u2019a\u2019s choice to leave former Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua for rapper Juliani in 2021 stirred widespread debate across the country.<\/p>\n
Many questioned how she moved from a life of luxury to being with someone they perceived as a “struggling artist.”<\/p>\n
Speculation about her decision persisted for years, with some suggesting she sought attention, while others believed she wanted a child.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Dr. Ofweneke, Lilian\u2014whom some netizens believe has since separated from Juliani\u2014shared her perspective on allowing life to unfold naturally.<\/p>\n
“I try not to control anything. When I met Juliani, I had never met him before, but clearly, we were meant to cross paths and have a child together. It was destined to happen,” she said.<\/p>\n
She also emphasized that she doesn\u2019t hold onto things once their time has passed. \u201cI appreciate what we had\u2014the moments, the memories, the lessons\u2014and then I move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
After confirming her relationship with Juliani, the rapper faced intense criticism and online attacks. Many Kenyans struggled to accept that Lilian had chosen him over Mutua.<\/p>\n
“The backlash Juliani endured was brutal and unfair. It highlights how unwilling people are to broaden their perspectives and accept different realities,” she noted.<\/p>\n
Lilian explained that her relationship with Mutua began changing when she turned 30. As she sought deeper meaning and independence, tensions arose.<\/p>\n
“When I turned 30, I felt there was more to life. I wanted to grow\u2014not necessarily leave the relationship, but to establish my own identity. That\u2019s when conflicts began. He would say, \u2018No, you can\u2019t. We are together.\u2019 But as a woman, turning 30 often brings a strong desire for personal growth,” she shared.<\/p>\n
Despite having everything she could ask for, she still felt unfulfilled. “I remember confiding in an older friend, telling him I felt so empty. I had everything, but something was missing.”<\/p>\n
Lilian acknowledged that both men are vastly different, but intelligence has always been her greatest attraction.<\/p>\n
“I am drawn to intelligence, though it doesn\u2019t always work in my favor. I love learning from my partner\u2014it\u2019s not about appearance or profession but what I can gain intellectually,” she admitted.<\/p>\n
She met Juliani at a time when she was open to new experiences but does not regret her past with Mutua, recognizing their time together as meaningful.<\/p>\n
“I met Juliani at the right moment, just as I met Alfred at the right time. We were meant to spend those 10 years together, build Machakos, and accomplish great things. And we did. Then Juliani came into my life, and now we have a beautiful son. It\u2019s been a fulfilling journey.”<\/p>\n
A friend introduced her to philosophy, which profoundly impacted her outlook.<\/p>\n
Through this, she found a sense of purpose and embraced Stoicism, a philosophy that emphasizes resilience, emotional control, and focusing only on what one can change.<\/p>\n
“I am a full Stoic. I do get bothered, but not too much. You learn to let go. Instead of trying to control everything, you ask yourself, \u2018How much control do I have over this?\u2019 If the answer is none, you move on,” she explained.<\/p>\n
Running also became a major source of solace for her.<\/p>\n
“Running frees my soul. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I go for a run\u2014no music, no distractions. It clears my mind completely.”<\/p>\n
While rumors persist about her relationship with Juliani, Lilian\u2019s conversation with Ofweneke highlights her evolution as an individual. Her willingness to openly express her thoughts on various topics reflects her journey toward self-discovery and personal growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
