Willis and Marya lost their daughter early this year.

The multi-talented media personality who is a radio host, news anchor, and a TV presenter has separated from his wife, Mary Ngami, popularly known as Marya Prude.

Willis and Marya stopped living together after they lost their daughter, Adana early this year. This took a toll on both of them with Marya reportedly denouncing Christianity.

To cool things off, Willis Raburu took a leave from work to go sort some things out, spend more time with his wife, get his head straight and mourn their daughter properly. It was during that time that Willis and Marya went to the U.S to visit his brother who lives there.

Allegedly, Willis and wife, Marya ended things when she found out that he had been having an affair with a Ugandan woman whose identity is yet to be known.

Willis then demanded that she leaves their home in Phenom Estate in Langata which saw Marya, a businesswoman, rent an apartment in Kiambu’s Thindigua area.

Raburu paid for the mentioned apartment’s rent for two months ahead of time.

“ In March is when hell broke loose after Raburu told his wife to move out. He is currently living in Kileleshwa with another woman. What happened is that they divided the household items. Raburu t hen rented a house for Marya and paid a deposit of two months,” a source close to the Raburus said.

Raburu who is the son of a very respected and powerful Provincial Commissioner Peter Raburu is staying with his babe in Kileleshwa. Marya Prude has since deactivated all her social media accounts.

They got married in a hush-hush wedding after Raburu broke up with then fiancée and colleague at Royal Media Services, Sally Mbilu.

In a previous interview, Willis said he met Marya much earlier than most people thought but didn’t date her then as he was in a relationship with Sally Mbilu at that time, whom he proposed to but broke up with under unclear circumstances.

Willis Raburu has been trending for the most part of the week but has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.
