‘It was love at first sight’: JB Masanduku opens up about fiancée and failed marriage

Comedian JB Masanduku fiancée has met his ex-wife Tina Kaggia. This comes months after he signed the divorce papers.

“Tina met my fiancée, Jackie Karanja and they talked. What I remember her telling Jackie is that we won’t last. Jackie laughed about it,” JB told Word Is.

He continued, “I don’t know if she is happy for me simply because of the sentiments she made.  [When he meet my wife-to-be]. She even said ‘JB is loved by many so this may not go far’.”

The comedian added, “From my end, I would say, I am happy for her. The fact that Tina flaunted her new bae on social media in December proves she is happy. I am glad that Tina has also moved on as well.”

The two separated in 2017 after a 2014  civil ceremony at the Attorney General’s chambers.

However, JB has moved on and is set to marry again this year with his fiancée called Jackie who is an actor in one of the local TV stations.

“I have already done the first part of the dowry payment to her parents, in Kikuyu called ‘Kuhada Ithigi’. The ceremony was so that he could meet the parents and book a day to officially present the dowry which will be soon and before the end of the year, I will have a white wedding,” he said.

Adding; “We have dated, for eight months and in January this year we made it known officially to both our families.”

After his failed marriage with Tina, JB said he rushed things because he engaged Tina after 11 days of knowing each other.

 “We started dating as a joke and even wrote on social media. We received backlash, of course, and finally, we said we needed to officiate everything. We went to her parents and we did our wedding, despite her being seven years older than me.”

Asked if the two are co-parenting, JB said; “Yeah we are and the kids are okay although there is a case in court so I can’t talk much about it.”

Previous Marriage

I am in a good relationship, in which we are very open, unlike I was in my previous marriage,” Masanduku said in an interview.

Speaking to Massawe Japanni, JB said he rushed things in his previous relationship, which was the main reason that caused the breakup.

“I engaged Tina after 11 days of knowing each other because the first time I saw her was when I had come to do some voice test here at Radio Jambo,” he said.

We started dating as a joke and even wrote on social media. We received backlash, of course, and finally we said we needed to officiate everything. We went to her parents and we did our wedding, despite her being seven years older than me.”

JB Masanduku and Tina got married in October 2013. The low-key wedding was held at the Attorney General’s chambers and was only attended by family and close friends.

We spent three years in marriage and got two children together, but our marriage did not work,” he said.

I am legally divorced, although at first we had agreed to do it privately without involving the court and the public. Then one day, I received a call from people asking to give me some job as an MC, which I agreed.

They tricked to meet me for the job. When I met the person, I found out it was her (Tina Kaggia’s) lawyer and a police officer, and they served me the divorce letter. I had to be attending the mentions, and finally we divorced.”
