Socialite Manzi Wa Kibera has revealed that she used to date Eric Omondi between 2017 and 2021.
In an exclusive interview, Manzi wa Kibera alleged that the two were dating while the comic was still in a relationship with his Italian girlfriend, Chantal Grazioli.
“The first time I met Eric was 2016 then we officially started dating in 2017 until 2019 and broke up in 2020 then got back together in 2021. We were dating before we lost contact because of Chantelle,” said Manzi wa Kibera.
Manzi wa Kibera added that she wasn’t on Wife Material as a contestant but as Eric’s side chic because he had told her he had his eyes on the Tanzanian and Ugandan contestants.
“Nikasema badala tuchukiane OK nitakuwa side chic.’ (I agreed to be his side chic instead of creating beef between us)”
She alleged that even though the two weren’t dating during the second season of wife material, that didn’t stop them from exchanging fluids while they were in the house.
“Alikuwa ananikula akitaka na anajua kunikula poa (He would sleep with me whenever he wanted to and he was really good at it).”
The socialite confirmed that indeed she was paid Sh6,000 for participating in the Wife Material show.
When we reached out to Eric Omondi, the comic said he never knew about Manzi wa Kibera until just recently.
He said that he had neither dated nor slept with Manzi wa Kibera or any of the Wife Material contestants.
“In 2016 I think she was in High School and the first time I saw her was on Eve Mungai’s channel saying she wanted to participate on Wife Material back in 2020. That’s when Kenyans knew her,” said Eric Omondi.
He added,
“In 2016 I was dating Chantal. One thing about me and all Kenyans know is when I start dating someone I put them on billboards, buy them cars and do all that stuff. I don’t hide the person I’m dating and all my girlfriends are known so how comes no one knows about Manzi wa Kibera?”
On paying wife material contestants Eric didn’t deny, saying that everyone gets paid on Wife Material.
