Citizen TV’s senior anchor Lilian Muli is basking in the joy of motherhood as she marks a major milestone in her eldest son's life.

The celebrated journalist and mother of two took to social media to honour her firstborn, Joshua Munene, who just turned 15.

in a heartfelt Instagram post, Lilian shared a photo of a delicious cake delicately inscribed with the words, “Happy birthday Josh," giving fans a rare glimpse into the special bond she shares with her son.

Joshua, whom she welcomed back in 2010 during her relationship with ex-husband Moses Kanene, is now blossoming into a confident teenager. Lilian recently posted a clip of him expertly playing football, hinting at a bright future for the young boy.

Despite her high-profile career, Lilian has been intentional about keeping her children away from the limelight.

Over the years, she has spoken candidly about her decision to shield them from the sometimes unforgiving scrutiny that comes with fame and online criticism. That possibly explains why she does not post him often.

 Her relationship with Kanene ended after she allegedly accused him of infidelity, prompting her to quietly drop his last name, which she had adopted during her early news anchoring days.

Following the split, Lilian found love again with Shabana FC boss Jared Nevaton. Their relationship, however, also faced turbulence, with reports later surfacing that he had been previously married to three women.

The pair eventually went their separate ways, but not before welcoming their son, Liam, in 2018.

In the previous years, she also denied the rumors that she is a gold digger,

“Some misconceptions about me being a Gold digger are all lies," she said.

“Yes, I like fine things, but if you spot Lilian Muli in a good car, just know that it's mine, you see, in nice clothes they are mine and I bought them," she added.

Lilian had been linked to a Nairobi tycoon called Jimmy Ngechu, something she denied in an interview, “Those are rumors and he is a friend and there is no relationship. Kina Bahati, Gabu, and other celebrities, plus all those people being linked to us, were all at the same party. That’s a respectable man who has his family."
