Celebrated Kenyan actor and radio presenter Jacque Nyaminde, widely recognized as Wilbroda, recently decided to reveal a private aspect of her life that she had kept hidden for many years.

Her disclosure struck a chord with numerous fans and followers, resonating deeply with them.

How Wilbroda fell for young and broke Tanzanian

“Kwanza alikuwa Mtanzania. Alikuja akaniambia kwanza yeye ni relative wa Mr Blue. Akaniambia mimi hata akina Harmonize na Diamond huwa nakutana nao, na nyumba yangu iko ufuoni mwa bahari na hao pia wako na mabeach house, Nikasema baas, Jckie sasa hapa ndipo! Na vile nilikuwa napenda Tanzanians.

“When I met him, I was thrilled because he told me he was Tanzanian, and I have always admired Tanzanians. He claimed to be wealthy and personally acquainted with big names like Mr Blue, Diamond, and Harmonize,” Wilbroda recounted.

The man went to great lengths to keep up his charade. He took Wilbroda to a car dealership, pointing out an expensive car and falsely claiming he intended to purchase it for her.

Huyu msee vile aliniingiza box mpaka akanipeleka kwa car yard… Tulienda tukaingia ndani nikapelekwa kwa gari ya Sh8 billion at that time.

“He told me, ‘This is the car I want to buy, and you will be the one driving it. So, give me your car,'” she recalled. At the time, Wilbroda owned a modest vehicle, and the idea of driving a luxurious car was appealing.

“Akaniambia vile kwao ni wadosi, grandafher wake yuko Voi na ameuza shambam” she narrated.

However, the truth began to unravel when the man asked her to visit him at a hospital, claiming he was ill.

“Ile siku aliniambia mpenzi mi ni mgonjwa njoo unione kwenye hospitali ndio nilijua huyu msee hana pesa.

“I went to the hospital, which turned out to be a small clinic in Pipeline. He had been beaten up at a bar. That’s when I realised he was broke,” Wilbroda lamented.

Despite his best efforts to impress her, including wearing borrowed Timberland shoes, the relationship was built on lies, and Wilbroda eventually saw through his facade.

“Aliniingiza! Hiyo hata mabeshte wangu wananicheka hadi sahi. Huyo alinicheza… Alafu alikuwa na kamwili kadogo kama huyu. So watu wanoan tu huyu mama anatembea na mtoto…Siku moja akanipeleka out kama amevaa viatu za Timberland za black amekam kuniimpress. Akapiga step mbili hivi akasema viatu zinamfinya nikajua alikuwa ameomba viatu,” said Wilbroda.

Wilbroda on men who crush on her

The media personality also touhed on her experiences with men who are interested in her. She noted that many of her admirers are younger men.

“I get approached a lot, but I am not sure I want marriage. There is a guy who has been pursuing me and wants a child. He has a huge crush on me, but I tell him I don’t want more children. He should find a younger woman,” she shared.

In a previous interview, she discussed her separation from her ex-husband.

Wilbroda noticed a change in his behaviour, particularly in how he spoke, and decided to take proactive steps rather than wait for potential issues to escalate. “I saw the signs and started preparing myself for any outcome,” she said.
