Author and media personality Lilian Ng'ang'a has revealed that she has only been in relationships with two men since the age of 25, saying the decision has helped her avoid unnecessary complications in life.
“What are you all talking about? I have been with two men from 25 to 40, I have been with two men,” she said.
“For so long Alfred was so long, and then J. Nobody can come and say, ‘I was with Lillian sijui wapi.’ Probably that is how I look at life, and it has saved me from a lot of troubles and situations,” she added.
A life lived in the public eye
Ng'ang'a met Mutua when she was 25, and the two spent roughly a decade together. During that period, she served as Machakos County's First Lady.
The relationship ended in 2021 after she publicly announced their separation. She later began a relationship with rapper Juliani, whom she married in 2022. The couple has a son together.
The author has increasingly spoken about controlling her own narrative, saying she wants people to understand her beyond public assumptions.
Responding to critics
“How can the FACT that I've been with only two men since I was 25 make me all the nonsensical things you call me?” she wrote on social media.
