Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia marked her birthday celebrations over the weekend with friends and family, giving her fans another glimpse into her vibrant personality. Although her actual birthday falls on September 16, Matubia explained that she chose to celebrate early since she would be working on the day itself.
The actress stepped out dressed to impress, partying at a nightclub where she danced the night away with friends. Videos shared on social media captured her in high spirits, enjoying music and laughter. After the night out, she returned home for a quieter family gathering. Her daughters were seen cutting cake and singing happy birthday, creating a more intimate moment.
Matubia later revealed why she held the party early and shared her cheeky birthday wish list with fans. She wrote that while she expected to be busy on her birthday, she welcomed surprises in the form of flowers, money, or even a man. Her playful comment about wanting a lover drew reactions, with many noting it hinted at her continued search for love despite past heartbreaks.
The actress’s love life has often been a subject of public discussion. She previously separated from actor Blessing Lung’aho, a split that unfolded publicly. Matubia accused him at one point of neglecting their daughter. She also co-parents her first daughter with aviator Kennedy Njogu, with whom she maintains a cordial relationship.
Fans flooded her comment section with well wishes and reactions to her light-hearted wishlist. Some praised her confidence and boldness, while others encouraged her to keep seeking happiness in love. One fan commented, “Have a blast gorgeous, aging fine like wine.” Another added, “Hio wishlist means you are still chasing love, we pray you find it and never get heartbroken ever again.”
Earlier this year, Matubia spoke openly about her goals, stating that finding genuine and consistent love was one of her top priorities. She has also been vocal about her commitment to shielding her children from online negativity, urging critics to address her directly instead of targeting her daughters.
Her birthday celebrations highlighted both sides of her life, a public figure who enjoys the limelight yet remains grounded in family. Whether or not she receives the “lover” she jokingly requested, Jackie Matubia’s bold personality and candid nature continue to keep her fans engaged.
