Content creator and influencer Ivy Namu recently opened up about her apprehensions regarding dating renowned TV star Willis Raburu following his divorce from ex-wife Marya Prude.
In an interview with Nation, Ivy expressed her initial hesitation in dating Raburu post-divorce, citing the publicized nature of their split as a contributing factor to her unease.
“Again, I feel like God got back at me because I knew what I was getting myself into. I was prepared since the people who mattered to me knew the truth, and I didn’t need to defend myself, so I fell in love, and the rest is history,” she disclosed.
Reflecting on her experience, Ivy highlighted the importance of privacy, a lesson learned from Raburu’s previous divorce.
“I would have to say I have learned the value of privacy. When you are not in the public eye, you take for granted the fact that you can walk anywhere and do anything and nobody cares,” she added.
Furthermore, Ivy admitted to being more cautious about sharing personal details on social media following her relationship with Raburu.
Raburu and Marya Prude officially ended their marriage in 2021, with Raburu later revealing the emotional toll of losing their daughter in December 2019 during an interview with Massawe Japanni Ea.
Speaking candidly, Raburu described the immense grief he experienced following the loss of their child, emphasizing the difficulty of navigating the mourning process alone.
“I had only a few friends who were my support system at that particular time. While grieving, you would probably have two people, and none will allow you to fully grieve about your child. It was an empty void, and I did not know what to do,” he shared.
Raburu went on to reveal the ongoing impact of his daughter’s death on his mental and emotional well-being, detailing the challenges he faced in returning to work amidst his grief.
“I used to drive for long distances, but sometimes, I lose focus. I went for therapy twice a week or once. It was painful, and I will never forget it. The worst part was I had to go back to work, and I needed energy for my TV show. For sometimes, while on the show, it was like an acting gig, and after the show, I would cry all the way home,” Raburu expressed, highlighting the profound and lasting effects of his loss.
