• Jackie shared how her relationship with Blessing began with promises of love and honesty. She recalled how Blessing had downplayed his past, telling her that his first child “wasn’t from true love,” and that their child together was the result of a deeper, genuine connection. But over time, reality began to bite.

In a raw and revealing conversation on the G2G Podcast by Galston, Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia has opened up about the emotional rollercoaster that was her relationship and eventual co-parenting dynamic—with fellow actor Blessing Lung’aho.

The two, who once captivated fans with their on-screen and off-screen chemistry, are now walking separate paths, but the journey has been far from smooth.

Jackie shared how her relationship with Blessing began with promises of love and honesty. She recalled how Blessing had downplayed his past, telling her that his first child “wasn’t from true love,” and that their child together was the result of a deeper, genuine connection. But over time, reality began to bite.

“Every day I woke up, I was irritated by him,” Jackie admitted during the podcast. “He wasn’t even holding the child unless I handed the baby to him. It’s like I was parenting alone.”

Things were so tense at home that even Jackie’s firstborn was visibly uncomfortable around Blessing. “My daughter used to freeze whenever he walked in. She was scared,” Jackie added.

She also opened up about the emotional baggage she carried from her previous marriage. “I never gave myself time to heal. I brought all that pain and trauma into the new relationship,” she said. “I was always teaching him how to treat me. It was exhausting.”

Jackie revealed that even after the breakup, co-parenting wasn’t easy. She would drive to where Blessing was, not to rekindle the romance as he sometimes assumed, but simply to work out a parenting plan for their daughter. “He thought I still wanted him back, but I just wanted us to co-parent. That’s all,” Jackie said.

The conversation struck a chord with many listeners, especially single mothers navigating complicated family dynamics. Jackie’s vulnerability and honesty reminded fans that even public figures face deep emotional struggles behind the glitz of fame.
