Former Citizen TV anchor Janet Mbugua appears to have introduced a new love interest to her fans, three years after her split from ex-husband Eddie Ndichu.
In a recent Instagram story, the media personality shared a brief video from a date in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The clip showed a man seated across from her at the table, yet Janet kept his identity under wraps, capturing only his hands as he browsed his phone.
Mbugua’s decision to keep her mystery man’s face hidden sparked curiosity among fans, who noted that celebrities often obscure a partner’s identity in this manner when they want to keep the relationship private.
Some followers speculated that if he were simply a friend or colleague, Mbugua would have likely shown his face without reservation, as she has done with other acquaintances.
While Janet hasn’t explicitly confirmed the romantic nature of the relationship, the cozy setting in Iceland and the discreet nature of her post hinted strongly at a budding romance.
Fans are left wondering if this mystery man is indeed the new chapter in Janet’s love life.
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.
However, recently Janet Mbugua indicated that she was peacefully co-parenting with Eddie as they re-united for their son’s birthday.
