Former Machakos First Lady, Lilian Ng'ang'a on Friday, September 3, finally addressed the controversy surrounding her relationship with musician Julius Otieno (Juliani).
Through a joint statement posted on social media by the couple, they confirmed that they are in a relationship and asked critics to respect the decision.
Social media had been awash with rumours that the two are dating after Ng'ang'a broke off her marriage with Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua.
"In this photo, are two fully conscious adults who have chosen to be together.
"Any other narrative is false, outdated and ill-intentioned. Let's respect people's choices," reads the statement, posted on social media by the two.
The confirmation of the relationship comes days after the rapper reported that he had received death threats from unknown individuals.
"The call/text threat on my life today, NOT funny!" he wrote on his Twitter page.
Two weeks before, Lilian announced that she and the Machakos Governor had parted ways.
"The only constant thing in life is change, and we must be present and aware to appreciate and embrace it," she stated.
“Winds of change blew my way and two months ago, I decided to end the long term relationship with Dr Alfred Mutua. We had a good run and I am forever grateful to God he brought us together. We remain friends," she added.
The governor swiftly responded, saying that their separation was imminent and that the two were not destined to be together.
"Lillian and I have been a blessing to each other. Two months ago, we decided to slowly disengage. We are on amicable terms and remain very close as friends. We will continue to talk, meet and share ideas constantly," the governor's statement read in part.
