Kenyan actor Daddie Marto (Martin Githinji) broke his silence on his separation from Koku Lwanga, confirming they parted ways in December 2024 with a final agreement by March 2025, while refuting allegations of abandoning his family. Simon Kabu also responded to his ex-wife's claim that she purchased her own Range Rover, indicating ongoing public discussion of personal matters among public figures.
