Kennedy Njogu and Jacque Matubia’s marriage ended in divorce in 2019. The mom of 2 has now revealed that she had to spend over Ksh 300K to get a divorce from her first hubby.
The two started their romance in 2014 and were blessed with a daughter in 2015 before their split in March 2019.
The actress made this disclosure during an interview with Elizabeth Ngigi of Nairobi News saying;
âI used roughly Sh300,000 for the process; that would change depending on your case. If you guys have assets together, a problem with child support. There is just a lot.
There are a lot of hearings and so on. Mine was even traumatising because it was during the Covid-19 period, so your case is mentioned, you canât go to court, you do online, then itâs canceled. That trauma really got to me,â Matubia is quoted.
The actress is reluctant to consider another white wedding and said, âAs someone who has been married before and gone through the scare of going through the divorce process, divorce in Kenya is not easy, and there is a lot of back and forth. You get scared of being married, getting that certificate,â she shared.
Her divorce left her so scarred that she said she would even prefer to live with someone for an extended period before doing another white wedding.
âDonât be in a hurry, and if you can, just be open about it. I was open from day one even before the engagement. I was not sure I would go down that road of a church wedding.
If someone is engaged for 10 years and not married yet, people should understand that some people are scared. I would even stay with the person in the house for over 15 years before I decide to do a wedding.â
Matubia is a mother of two girls with two different dads.
