Cera Imani: I’m in a loving and happy relationship

Early this year, the pretty influencer Cera Imani and her then beau, businessman Khalif Kairo caused a stir when they went official on social media.

Their relationship was heavily publicized, serving as couple goals for some, while attracting criticism from others.

Just 5 months in, they would split, with Cera saying that they chose to remain friends.

“Cera is a person who is very principled. She’s not the type of person to be with you because of the money,” Kairo said while speaking on the break-up in a July interview.

He added: “There are issues that make people disagree, and it wasn’t about money. The problem with us business-people sometimes, we have so much going on in business that it becomes hard to sustain a relationship.”

When probed on who left who, Kairo said: “Yes I messed up, I think I was the problem.”

While Kairo has since moved on with model Maria Wavinya, Cera has remained mum on her relationship status.

This weekend, however, the influence has revealed that she is, indeed dating someone new.

While attending the Buy Simu Android launch at a Nairobi hotel yesterday, Cera addressed press on the red carpet, noting that she is a private person and not one to make her love-life known.

“I’m not single, I’m dating. I’m in a very happy and loving relationship, and as for me, my private life is private. I choose to show you people my work, and that’s what you should know me for.”

The influencer doubled down on how much she values privacy while dating, hinting that in her past relationship with Kairo, he may have been more public than she was comfortable with.

“Someone else did that. I’ve never been one to publicize my relationship, and I won’t do it to this one,” she said.
