For weeks, the internet has been ablaze with whispers that Kenya’s most beloved comedy duo had called it quits. But on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Njugush and Celestine Ndinda decided they had seen enough.
In a move that effectively silenced the “tea-masters,” Njugush shared a high-energy video of the couple happily dancing together, proving that despite the noise on X (formerly Twitter) and Edgar Obare’s Instagram, the Kimanis are going nowhere.
The drama began in early February when eagle-eyed netizens noticed two “red flags”: Celestine’s ring finger was bare, and the couple—who usually dominate Valentine’s Day with romantic skits—stayed silent on February 14.
The vacuum was quickly filled by sensational, unverified claims. Rumours suggested that Celestine had been involved with a Kilimani-based nail technician known as Polycarp. Some blogs even went as far as claiming Njugush had moved out of their matrimonial home in Ruiru.
Adding fuel to the fire was a resurfaced clip from an old comedy skit where Njugush joked about feeling “suffocated” in marriage. While the video was years old, it was used by critics to suggest the comedian was “crying for help.”
However, the couple’s recent actions suggest otherwise. Not only are they still appearing together, but their business ventures—including their successful entry into the Super Metro Sacco matatu industry—are still listed as joint family projects.

Since their days as “broke” college sweethearts, Njugush and Celestine have built a multi-million shilling brand. From their hit show Through Thick and Thin (TTNT) to their logistics and transport investments, their lives are deeply intertwined.
While they have noticeably begun hosting individual podcast episodes in 2026, industry insiders suggest this is a “business pivot” rather than a marital one. As the dust settles on the “Polycarp” scandal, it seems the “Kings of Comedy” are laughing all the way to the bank, while the internet is left holding an empty tea-cup.
