Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia has opened up once again about her former relationship with actor Blessing Lung’aho, reigniting public conversation around their highly publicized split. In a recent tell-it-all interview, Jackie laid bare shocking claims about their life together, accusing Blessing of being a deadbeat father and revealing that she was the sole provider during their time as a couple.
While Jackie was candid about the emotional and financial strain she endured, Blessing stirred controversy by sharing a video of his weekend at an exclusive Range Rover owners’ hangout. The flashy post, which showed off high-end cars and lavish mingling, rubbed many the wrong way, especially those following the dramatic fallout between him and his ex.
According to Jackie, their relationship was marked by deep imbalances, both emotionally and financially. Speaking on the G2G Podcast, she claimed she paid all the household bills, even after the birth of their daughter. One of the most jarring moments she recalled was being asked to pay for gas while still recovering in the hospital after childbirth—a request that left her furious, especially knowing her other child would be affected if she didn’t.
Jackie didn’t hold back when describing the emotional toll of the relationship, noting that Blessing’s behavior became more triggering over time. She shared that he would pick their daughter and rush into another room whenever she returned home, behavior she said made her question the authenticity of his love and involvement.
Adding fuel to the fire, Jackie also claimed that Blessing had another child from a previous relationship, which he had kept under wraps initially. He had allegedly assured her that he would love their child more because he was in love this time—only for Jackie to feel let down by how things unfolded after birth.
As the actress’ revelations went viral, social media erupted with criticism aimed at Blessing Lung’aho. Many called him out for showing off luxury vehicles and mingling at high-end events instead of being involved in his child’s life. Comments flooded his Instagram, with users reminding him that fatherhood comes with responsibilities that can’t be masked by expensive cars or glamorous weekends.
“He’s posing with Range Rovers while his baby mama was footing the bills?” one user questioned, while another added, “Leather seats won’t drive away fatherhood.”
The backlash was swift and harsh. Some followers sympathized with Jackie, praising her strength as a single mother and her decision to walk away from what she described as a toxic situation. Others used the moment to highlight the pressures many women face in relationships where they end up emotionally and financially drained.
Jackie’s interview has brought to light a recurring conversation about celebrity relationships and parental responsibility. While Blessing has yet to directly address her claims, his silence is being interpreted by many as telling.
As the drama continues to unfold online, one thing remains clear—Jackie Matubia’s willingness to speak her truth is resonating with fans, especially women who see their own struggles mirrored in her experience.
