In a recent social media update on Facebook, Catherine Kamau, the renowned Kenyan actress known as Kate Actress, triggered a lively discussion among her followers. The focal point of this exchange was the series of photos she shared depicting the birthday celebration for her daughter alongside her former spouse, Philip Karanja, also known as Phil Director. Despite having publicly disclosed their divorce three months prior, the two actors came together for the delightful celebration of their daughter’s fourth birthday on December 15.
In the accompanying post, Kate Actress expressed gratitude for the amicable relationship between her daughter and her co-parent, Phil Karanja. She praised her daughter as “the most lovable little person in the world” and described her as “Daddy’s girl in everything.” The post featured images from the heartwarming birthday celebration.
However, the attention of many Facebook users appeared to be drawn specifically to the pictures featuring Phil Karanja. Some fans openly expressed their wish for the former couple to reconcile, noting how good they looked together.
One follower, Zainb Nyamweno, commented humorously, “Aki shetani hutoka wapi hakika? Jinsi mnavyoonekana vizuri pamoja, heri ya kuzaliwa kasupuu.” Kate Actress responded playfully, “Aki tunawekeleanga shetani saa zingine.. uhusiano ni chaguo la kibinafsi.”
Another fan, Zippy Kibe, pleaded, “Tunaomba muungano tena,” to which Kate replied in a playful manner, “Ya Ruto na baba?” dismissing the notion of a reconciliation.
Despite persistent requests from fans urging her to reunite with the father of her daughter, Kate Actress firmly stated that such a possibility was out of the question. She responded boldly to a comment from Essie Paul, who expressed a desire for them to reconcile, saying, “Hatuwezi!”
In response to another fan pressuring her to reunite with Phil, Kate Actress made it clear that she is not eager to be with any man and emphasized her autonomy in choosing her life partner. She stated, “Mimi sio aina ya kukata tamaa! Ninapata kuchagua ninayemtaka, ninapotaka, sio vinginevyo. Mimi ni daraja la juu. Wewe ni pickmeisha. Kwaheri.”
