Citizen TV anchor Lilian Muli has warmed hearts online after celebrating her firstborn son, Joshua, as he marked his 15th birthday.
In a touching Instagram post, Lilian gave fans a rare peek into her closely guarded family life. She shared a photo of a birthday cake delicately inscribed with the message: “Happy birthday Josh.” This sweet moment melted hearts, with many fans praising her for showing love while still protecting her children’s privacy.
Joshua was born in 2010 during Lilian’s marriage to her ex-husband, Moses Kanene. Though their relationship later ended in a quiet split, Lilian has remained a proud and devoted mother. She dropped her marital name soon after parting ways with Kanene — a move that symbolized her new chapter both professionally and personally.
Despite being a public figure, Lilian rarely posts her sons. Over the years, she has spoken openly about her decision to shield them from the pressures of fame and online negativity. Her recent post, however, reminded many that behind the glitz of the newsroom is a mum who’s raising boys with love and care.
Not long ago, Lilian even posted a short video of Joshua showing off his football skills — perhaps hinting at a budding sports career?
After her divorce, Lilian found love again with Shabana FC boss Jared Nevaton. They welcomed a second son, Liam, in 2018, though the relationship eventually came to an end too.
Through it all, Lilian has proven that motherhood remains her greatest pride.
