Before their July 2024 split, Kenyan rapper Chris Kaiga and beauty entrepreneur Joanna Kinuthia were a beloved power couple.
From heartwarming vlogs by Joanna featuring glimpses of her then beau, to loved up posts on social media, it was an admirable relationship from the outside looking in.
Now, the celebrated rapper is opening up on the break up and how they are currently fairing on.
Speaking on the Every Other Time With Eric (EOTWE) Podcast, Chris said that it is all love between the pair, although their relationship did not work out.
“It was real though, at least. It was genuine,” he said of the high profile relationship.
He added: “Tulipendana mbaya. Bado nampenda (We loved each other very much. I still love her). We are still in talking terms.”
When probed further on the topic, the rapper changed the subject, joking that a popular blogger should pick the news up from that point.
Chris Kaiga and Joanna Kinuthia started dating in 2022, when they took to Instagram to publicize their union.
“Joanna and Chris confirmed their relationship during the beauty mogul’s 27th birthday party in 2022, which was an intimate event at home with her family and close friends,” NRG Radio reports.
“She shared a video of the two in a passionate kiss that excited fans as they had kept their relationship under wraps for quite a while.”
Joanna would be the one to announce the news of their split earlier this year- she did so on a Question and Answer session with her fans on Instagram.
When asked about why she hadn’t posted her then partner on social media for a while, the content creator wrote: “I’ve gotten a few questions about this, you don’t post Chris anymore. Are you guys still together? The truth is no, we’re not together anymore. I am a single girl.”
