Saturday, January 17, 2026 - Kenyan actress, Jackie Matubia, has opened up on one of the most difficult chapters of her life, sharing raw truths about heartbreak, rejection, and the challenges of co‑parenting.
In a candid interview on Lessons at 30 with Dr. Ofweneke,
the mother of two revealed how her highly publicized 2023 breakup forced her to
confront pain, rediscover herself, and set firm boundaries.
Matubia, celebrated for her roles in popular Kenyan TV
series and her openness on social media, admitted that the end of her
relationship with actor Blessing Lung’aho, father of her younger daughter, was
a turning point.
“You cannot force a man to be there when he doesn’t want to
be there,” she said.
She explained that after the breakup, she fought hard to
ensure Lung’aho remained present in their child’s life.
“I fought. God knows I fought,” she confessed, acknowledging
the emotional toll of trying to hold together a fractured family dynamic.
Yet despite her efforts, she realized that commitment cannot
be manufactured when one party is unwilling.
The actress also reflected on how the heartbreak stirred
deeper wounds from her childhood, including experiences of rejection and
abandonment.
