Jeff Koinange is one of the prominent Kenyan journalists and media personalities known for his long-standing career in television and radio.
Despite the media fame, little is actually known about his love life and partner.
Well, Koinange is married to Shaila Koinange. Shaila is Jeff’s current and only publicly acknowledged wife.
The two got married way back in 1998 and have now been happily living together for 28 years.
Shaila is of Asian descent and is known for maintaining a very private life. She is rarely seen appearing on social media or even in public with Jeff.
She worked as a flight attendant before marriage, and it is probably her nice hospitality that led Jeff to choose her.
According to Jeff, they met in the 1980s while attending the same flight attendant auditions.
Jeff and Shaila have one son, who is called Jamal Mbiyu Koinange. The couple once visited former South African president Nelson Mandela together with their son.
They faced challenges conceiving for many years and eventually welcomed Jamal after undergoing fertility treatments.
Jeff has spoken minimally about his son’s personal life, choosing to keep most details private.
Jeff and Shalia are one of the most quiet and reserved couples in Kenya, choosing peace over public appearances.
