Jackie Matubia has opened up about her past relationship with Blessing Lung’aho, the father of her second child, sharing deeply personal details about their time together. In a recent video, she revealed that Blessing had another child that he has never publicly acknowledged, a discovery that came as a surprise to her.
According to Jackie, when they first got together, Blessing made emotional appeals about the nature of their relationship. He allegedly told her that since her first child was conceived outside of love, their second child would be different—one born from genuine affection. This sentiment led Jackie to believe that he would be an engaged and loving father. However, the reality didn’t meet her expectations.
She shared that for eight months after giving birth, she kept convincing herself that things would improve and that he would become more present. But instead, she became increasingly irritated by his actions. She explained that she later learned from her nanny that Blessing only appeared involved with their child when he knew Jackie was arriving home. The nanny told her that he would hear her car approaching, rush to pick up the baby, and act as though he had been holding the child the entire time.
This revelation deeply affected her, as it made her feel that his involvement was performative rather than genuine. Jackie noted that during most of this period, she was the one working and supporting the household. Despite living together, she claimed she was solely responsible for their home expenses, including paying for basic utilities even when she was in the hospital after giving birth.
One incident stood out to her vividly—while recovering in the hospital, she received a message from Blessing saying their gas had run out. Worried that her other child would go hungry, she felt compelled to send money for a gas refill, highlighting the lack of shared responsibility in their relationship.
Over time, the little things he did—or failed to do—started to wear her down emotionally. She began noticing patterns that made her question the sincerity of his commitment to both her and their child. As she reflected on their relationship, she admitted that she had overlooked red flags and had clung to the hope that things would get better, but they never did.
The experience left her feeling disillusioned, especially since she had believed their child would be a symbol of love and a new beginning. Instead, she found herself handling both emotional and financial burdens largely on her own.
Jackie’s openness about her personal struggles has sparked conversations online. Some people have questioned her reasons for publicly discussing the relationship, while others have sympathized with her situation and praised her for being honest about the challenges she faced. Her story has highlighted the importance of emotional availability and shared responsibility in parenting and partnerships, and it’s resonated with many who have gone through similar experiences.
