In the realm of social media, where the narrative is often shaped by the number of followers and likes, the sudden action of unfollowing public figures can trigger waves of speculation throughout the internet.
Such is the case with the popular comedian Terence and his wife Milly Chebby. Their recent decision to unfollow each other on Instagram after returning from a celebratory trip to South Africa, where they marked Milly Chebby’s birthday, has left their fans puzzled.
The couple’s social media activity has taken an unexpected turn, with sharp-eyed followers noting the absence of mutual follows. This has given rise to various questions about the current state of their relationship.
However, amidst the online discussions, Terence shifted the conversation by directing followers to watch their recent show with a simple note: “Visit www.terence.ke for more.”
Celebrities, much like anyone else, may opt to unfollow their spouses on social media platforms for a variety of reasons.
- Privacy and Personal Space:
Celebrities often lead highly public lives and may prioritize privacy and personal space. Unfollowing their spouse could be a deliberate choice to maintain a separation between their personal and public lives. - Relationship Troubles:
Celebrities, like any couple, can encounter challenges and difficulties in their marriages. Unfollowing a spouse on social media might indicate underlying relationship issues or a desire to create some distance during a challenging period. - Managing Public Perception:
Due to constant public scrutiny, celebrities may strategically use their social media presence. Unfollowing a spouse could be a move to avoid speculation or rumors about the state of their relationship. - Personal Preferences:
Celebrities may have specific preferences when it comes to curating their online presence. Unfollowing their spouse might be part of a broader strategy in how they present themselves on social media.
Each celebrity’s situation is likely unique as they navigate the complexities of relationships and social media in their own way.
Notably, other Kenyan celebrity couples, such as King Kaka and Nana Owiti, Jackie Matubia and Blessing Lung’aho, Vera Sidika and Brown Mauzo, as well as DJ Mo and Size 8, have also chosen not to follow each other on social media.
