Podcaster and former Machakos First Lady Lilian Nganga has reignited speculation about her relationship with rapper Juliani after sharing a candid message about the challenges and strengths of single motherhood.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Lilian reflected on what it truly means to raise a child alone—remarks that many fans interpreted as a veiled confirmation that all may not be well between her and the father of her son, Utheri.
“I feel like the term ‘single mother’ comes with a bit of sympathy. The challenge I have is that being a single mother is so powerful, because you are doing this thing alone, and it is not easy,” Lilian said, urging a shift in how society labels and perceives women raising children on their own.
Her comments were quickly picked up by netizens, with many noting the timing and tone as a possible signal of separation from Juliani.
The couple went public with their relationship in 2021, tied the knot in February 2022, and welcomed their son in June of that year.
But by late 2024, fans began to notice subtle signs of strain—unfollowing each other on social media, public appearances without wedding bands, and a marked reduction in shared posts.
While the couple has occasionally been seen together since, their public dynamic has fueled more questions than answers.
In her message, Lilian also touched on the unseen reality of many women raising children alone, even while in relationships.
“What is wrong with raising kids alone?” she asked, in what many saw as a powerful but pointed remark.
Despite mounting speculation, neither Lilian nor Juliani has commented publicly on the current state of their relationship.
The rapper has remained active on social media, but has made no reference to the video or the ensuing public interest.
