Comedian and content creator 2mbili’s girlfriend, Jackie Ogaga, recently opened up about their unique relationship, sharing that they can go for long periods without physically meeting. Despite the distance, Jackie expressed that she enjoys the arrangement and feels content with the current setup.
During a candid radio interview, Jackie shared insights into her relationship, explaining that both she and her partner lead busy lives that often keep them apart for extended periods. She explained that their demanding schedules and careers leave little time for regular meetups, sometimes going as long as a month without seeing each other — even though they both reside in Nairobi.
“I would say no, we do not have time for each other. He is busy, he is running his errands, and I am also busy on this other side,” Jackie said. “At times, we take even months without seeing each other.”
Jackie further noted that despite the physical distance, they maintain frequent communication, which helps sustain the relationship. She acknowledged that their situation may not work for everyone, but it suits her just fine. According to her, being in a relationship where they don’t constantly see each other gives her peace of mind, and she actually prefers it that way.
When asked about the longest period they’ve stayed apart, Jackie revealed it had been a full month without meeting in person. Still, she dismissed any concerns about their bond weakening, emphasizing that their mutual understanding and communication keep them going strong.
She added that her boyfriend often travels due to his content creation hustle and income-generating opportunities, which contributes to the long gaps between physical meetings. While some would see this as a potential issue, Jackie defended the arrangement, saying that both partners should be focused on chasing their goals and building their futures.
Their relationship, however, hasn’t been without its share of drama. In a past incident that sparked online discussion, Jackie was criticized after she seemingly embarrassed 2mbili when he surprised her at her workplace on her birthday.
The couple’s unusual dynamic has triggered varied reactions online. Some people found it problematic, suggesting that such prolonged separation could signal a lack of emotional closeness or even hint at infidelity. Others, however, applauded the couple’s mutual trust and understanding, recognizing that modern relationships often require flexibility, especially for individuals in the public eye with demanding careers.
Commenters online expressed both skepticism and support. Some questioned how anyone could go so long without seeing their partner, while others related to the situation, noting that chasing one’s dreams sometimes comes at the cost of physical presence in a relationship.
Meanwhile, relationship experts have weighed in, noting that there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for how often couples should meet. While physical presence is important for many, what truly matters is open communication, emotional support, and mutual agreement on what works for both parties.
In a past interview, 2mbili also shared his preferences in a partner, saying he’s drawn to women who are either nurses or mothers and who can handle responsibilities with maturity. He also mentioned that he values women who know how to manage domestic duties like laundry — a statement that sparked a mix of amusement and criticism online.
Despite the mixed opinions surrounding their relationship, Jackie and 2mbili seem comfortable navigating their path on their own terms, valuing personal growth and trust over traditional expectations.
