Former Kenyan media personality Jacque Maribe has set social media ablaze with a heartwarming post celebrating her boyfriend’s bold declaration of love: a fresh tattoo of her name, “Wanjiru,” inked on his arm.
The 35-year-old journalist-turned-entrepreneur, known for her sharp on-screen presence at Citizen TV, shared the intimate snapshot on Instagram, captioning it:
“When your name is on your new love’s arm. Syllabus left the building.”
The image, posted just hours ago, captures Maribe beaming beside her unnamed partner, his forearm proudly displaying the elegant script in black ink.
The cryptic “syllabus” reference a playful nod to past relationships or high school crushes has fans decoding it like a viral puzzle, with many speculating it signals the end of her “study phase” in love.
Maribe, who stepped away from the spotlight amid a high-profile 2018 legal battle but has since rebuilt her brand through advocacy and business ventures, rarely shares romantic glimpses.
This comes months after she hinted at craving “life-changing love” in a February Instagram reflection, drawing parallels to TV fixer Olivia Pope.
Her last public beau, Ben Kariuki, fueled rumors in 2022 with cozy club photos, but details faded into privacy.
Online reactions poured in swiftly, blending adoration with cautionary tales. Supporters flooded comments with fire emojis and vows of “forever ink,” one user gushing, “This is goals! True love etched in skin.”
“Romantic now, regret later?” quipped a Kenyan influencer, echoing global debates on permanence in fleeting romances.
Maribe, mother to a young son and Embu native who honed her craft at the University of Nairobi, seems unfazed.
Her post, hashtagged JacqueMaribe, has racked up thousands of likes, proving her enduring pull. As one fan noted, “From newsrooms to heartbeats Jacque’s rewriting her story.”
