Former couple Janet Mbugua and Eddie Ndichu reunited to celebrate their son Huru’s 10th birthday, demonstrating a touching example of mature co-parenting. The pair, who married in 2015 at Chaka Ranch and divorced in 2021, share two children: Huru, 10, and Mali, 7.
A Day of Family and Celebration
On Sunday, October 26, the family spent quality time together, weeks after Eddie hinted on social media about potentially finding love again. The celebrations began with a church service attended by both parents and their sons, showcasing their commitment to raising their children collaboratively.
Eddie shared Instagram Stories highlighting special moments from the day, including photos with Janet and their sons. He celebrated Huru turning double digits, captioning one post: “My not-so-little boy turns double digits. Happy 10th birthday. 10 going on 18. Happy birthday #Huru.” The family later enjoyed a lunch at a city restaurant, where staff surprised Huru with a birthday cake and a celebratory song.
Heartfelt Messages from Janet
Janet Mbugua also shared touching messages celebrating Huru’s milestone. Posting a family photo after church, she wrote: “Happy birthday, Huru! A whole decade since that labour prank I pulled on national television! From not knowing what motherhood would be, to now, you are almost my height, teaching us more about love, patience and grace than we ever imagined. You’ve shown us that freedom isn’t just your name, it’s your spirit. Here’s to knowing we’ll keep walking beside you. God speed, my boy.”
Public Praise for Mature Co-Parenting
Fans and followers applauded Janet and Eddie for their collaborative approach to parenting. Comments highlighted admiration for the peaceful and supportive environment they maintain for their children, with many calling it “mature co-parenting” and a positive example for other families.
Moving Forward Separately but United in Parenting
Following their divorce, Janet has opened up about challenges, including losing friends who distanced themselves from her. Eddie, meanwhile, appears to be moving forward and has hinted at spending time with a new partner. Despite their separate lives, their shared commitment to their children remains evident, as demonstrated by their joint celebration of Huru’s birthday — a day filled with love, laughter, and family unity.
Their example illustrates that co-parenting can thrive when mutual respect and focus on children’s happiness are prioritized, showing that family bonds endure even through life’s transitions.
