Janet Mbugua’s Triple Challenge: Divorce, Celibacy, and Sobriety—The Untold Truth About Her New Life
Kenyan media personality Janet Mbugua has finally broken her silence, confirming what many had suspected: she’s no longer married to fintech entrepreneur Eddie Ndichu. In a candid Facebook video, the former Citizen TV news anchor bared her soul, sharing details about her life post-divorce and the transformative choices she’s made.
“Single, Sober, Celibate”—A Life Reboot
In the video, Janet revealed she’s been single for over a year, embracing a lifestyle she describes as “Single, Sober, Celibate.” While some might see this as extreme, Janet insists it’s a choice she’s made willingly during this phase of her life.
“I’ve purposefully denied myself relationships, intimacy, and even alcohol,” she confessed. “It’s been both liberating and challenging.”
Janet shared that this new chapter has brought her peace of mind and clarity, free from the distractions that often come with modern relationships. However, it hasn’t been without its challenges, as she’s faced judgment from some who assume her singlehood is due to a lack of suitors.
Life Without Timelines
Unlike many who approach such phases with a clear endpoint, Janet has left her journey open-ended. “I haven’t set a timeline for how long I’ll be single, sober, or celibate,” she explained. “I could end it tomorrow, or I could continue for years—it’s entirely up to me.”
This openness has sparked admiration among her fans, who applaud her courage to chart her own path.
Divorce Rumors Finally Addressed
This marks the first time Janet has publicly confirmed her divorce since whispers began swirling two years ago. In March 2022, sources claimed she had initiated divorce proceedings with Eddie Ndichu, citing undisclosed reasons. The couple’s marriage had lasted just seven years, following their fairy-tale wedding in 2015.
Despite the split, Janet and Eddie have maintained an amicable relationship as they co-parent their two sons. This mature approach has earned them respect in an age where messy public fallouts often dominate headlines.
Fans React
Janet’s revelations have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. While some admire her for prioritizing self-care and peace, others have questioned whether her choices are sustainable or even necessary.
But Janet remains unfazed. In her words, “This is my season, my journey, and my choice. It may not make sense to everyone, but it makes sense to me.”
Her bravery in sharing such intimate details has once again solidified her position as one of Kenya’s most authentic and inspiring public figures.
