The announcement was made by Ivy through a statement shared on Instagram, where she revealed that the two had made the difficult decision to end their relationship and requested privacy as they navigate the transition. .
The couple share two children.
‘Willis Raburu & I have decide to go our separate ways. Kindly respect our privacy at this moment, ” Ivy said.
Their separation comes as a surprise to many fans who had watched their relationship blossom in public over the years.
The two first got together in 2020, months after Raburu’s highly publicised separation from his former wife, Marya Prude.
Raburu’s personal life has often been in the spotlight.
In 2019, he and Marya suffered the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Adana, a tragedy that he has openly spoken about as one of the most painful moments of his life. The couple later divorced, with both admitting the loss took a heavy toll on their marriage.
Following the breakup, Raburu found love again with Ivy Namu, whom he met through work.
Their relationship quickly grew, leading to the birth of their first child before Raburu proposed during their son’s birthday celebration in 2022. The couple later welcomed a second child and frequently shared family moments online.
Over the years, Ivy often praised Raburu for being a supportive partner and father, while Raburu described her as a pillar during some of his most challenging moments.
Interestingly, the announcement comes months after the couple had dismissed online speculation that they had split, appearing together publicly amid rumours of trouble in their relationship.
Neither Raburu nor Ivy disclosed the reasons behind the separation, choosing instead to keep details of their decision private.
