“This man was that person for me. the one you feel like if I ever had any regrets, this is it, I don’t believe in regrets but if regret was a person that would be it,” said Jacque Maribe.

Jacque also revealed that her friend former Citizen TV anchor Kirigo Ng’arua tried to warn her about Irungu but would not listen because she was deeply in love.
