Janet Mbugua has filed for divorce from her estranged husband Eddie Ndichu nearly a year after their marriage hit rock bottom.
A local publication reported that the former Citizen TV anchor sought a quiet divorce process in a bid not to attract media attention.
Janet and Eddie parted ways six years after they got married in a colorful wedding ceremony held at Chaka Ranch in Nyeri county.
Eddie and Janet were the perfect celebrity couple when they tied the knot on 30th May 2015 – a fairytale romance of a TV girl and a banker.
The wedding was an invite-only affair and their marriage likewise was off public eye for many years until the ugly side of their troubled union was exposed.
On October 8th 2021, Janet Mbugua – who is businesswoman and philanthropist – had a big event where she launched Inua Dada Centre to promote the girl child.
Her entire family including her parents, siblings and her own children attended the event – but her husband Eddie Ndichu was conspicuously missing.
Eddie’s absence raised eyebrows given that there were already tell-tale signs and rumors that all wasn’t well in their marriage.
Hawk-eye online sleuths had already noticed that Janet no longer wears her wedding ring and has also deleted the “wife” tag she had on her Instagram page.
The former Citizen TV anchor and her estranged husband also unfollowed each other on social media and deleted each other photos.
Eddie and Janet seemed to have been separated for some time as they haven’t been celebrating each other on special days like birthdays or Mothers Day unlike before.
Sources privy to Janet and Eddie’s separation intimated that infidelity was the reason that caused their marriage to hit rock bottom.
Eddie is said to have cheated on Janet for a while, the reason why she ultimately decided to leave him.
Eddie Ndichu’s infidelity was publicly exposed on October 17th 2021 after a scuffle at Emara Ole Sereni Hotel with the Murgor sisters – Stephanie and Cheryl Murgor who are in their early 20s.
Eddie and his twin brother Paul Ndichu were embroiled in an ugly altercation with the girls after they turned down their romantic advances.
A waitress at Ole Sereni hotel told blogger Edgar Obare that Ndichu brothers booked a two-bedroom suite at the facility and checked in while in company of four women.
Fast forward to February 2022, Janet Mbugua took to social media to talk about healing.
“It’s ok, healing is messy and you will have good days and bad. Some days you’ll be in good form, some days you won’t. The secret is being kind to yourself as you dance between the two. We’re all just trying to get by best as we can. It doesn’t make you a bad person, A poor leader, A terrible parent, An insensitive sibling, An ungrateful child,” wrote Janet Mbugua.
She continued…
“A difficult colleague, a distant friend……at that moment you’re in bad form. Just remember, healing takes time. Let the people around you understand, just like there’s always time for pain, there’s always time for healing.”
