Ken Mijungu was one of the premier television hosts when he worked on NTV for more than a dozen years before his retrenchment a few months ago.
He has already landed back on his feet and is doing many of his side-hustles. More of that story below:

One area of his life that many tend to ignore is his personal life. Ken who got married in 2017, has been blessed with a baby girl and keeps his family hidden from the public spotlight.

His reason is that showing of his family isn’t necessary especially for a married man.
“At a point, you realise it is necessary to keep it private. It is not necessary to keep your relationship out there. There is no need because you are a married man, why should you broadcast it all over?”
He added, “You know when at first you get married there is that excitement but when you settle down you want to relax. There is no point in revealing your private life. You want to lead your life and this person(his wife) leads their life.”
On whether Ken would want more kids, the lawyer and journalist espoused that he wanted more kids, regardless of gender. “I am planning for more God-willing. I don’t mind, 7 daughters, 6 daughters, 5, 4, 3, 2…I don’t mind.”

Ken also spoke about the reason many celebrity relationships are failing saying,
“People get into marriages for different reasons, then when you have been together for some time you realise it isn’t working. If you are a married man you realise that there are several things that happen…if someone tells you they want to leave let them leave.”

He finished off by saying that people should move on when they see that their relationship isn’t working. “If it’s not working it’s not working. Don’t kill yourself, don’t kill someone’s child.”
