JB Masanduku (Nathan Kimani) shared his side of the story on his relationship with Tina Kaggia. This was during a recent interview at Switch TV on Real Talk Roundtable: a show hosted by Miss Tamima Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:30PM. The Comedian met Radio personality Tina Kaggia when he was going for his voice test at Radio Africa Group. He was smitten, not one to waste time, they were engaged eleven days later!
JB thought he had found his ‘the One’. The two love birds did not waste much time and within three months, they were husband and wife; literally riding their journey to forever. A few months into their union, Tina flaunted her baby bump on social media and at work. They were expecting! They welcomed a healthy baby boy on 18th June 2014. JB lovingly embraced his new role as a father. Voluntarily, he took time off the industry to raise his son.
This is why he cannot see his children…
Despite the dream start to their marriage, things started getting a little rocky. The media got wind of it. It got messier and with time things got even worse. The comedian on his way to a gig got shocked on arrival; divorce papers and a restraining order all at the same time. The restraining order forbid him against coming near the mother of two and the children.
“My son is even funnier than me…”
He recalls the close bond he had with his son. It pains JB since it has been a year since he laid eyes on them. The Comedian left when his daughter was still in an incubator at the hospital. Relentless not to miss their baby steps, he admits to stalking them on social media.
Divorce is not something the comedian saw coming. He does acknowledge the fact that the relationship took a toll on his ex-wife to the point she got hospitalized.
His only plea…
The comedian’s restraining order limits him. He cannot go to where they are or where they live, this has not stopped him from getting an education insurance policy for his children. He does understand that it is not enough, he wants to be engaged in their day to day activities something the restraint does not allow.
Friends have been consoling him that when his son is of age, since they were close he will look for him. Children need their fathers and JB wants to give his children the best while they are still young. He wants his children, their children to know they have a father.
During the show, the comedian pleaded with his Ex to let him to at least be a part of their children’s life assuring her it will not interfere with the people they are currently seeing.
However, Tina Kaggia has no time, while he did move many viewers, the one person he needed to reach is not even in the slight impressed by his “stunts”. She responded on her Instagram page.
