Renowned Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia, famous for her roles in shows like Tahidi High, has started 2025 with a hopeful outlook on life and love. In a candid YouTube video, Matubia shared her aspirations for the year, revealing that she is now ready to embrace romance after a year of closing herself off emotionally.
Reflecting on her journey, Matubia admitted that 2024 was a year of self-preservation and healing. “In 2024, I didn’t even want to hear the word love—it was a no for me. But now, in 2025, I’m open. So send in your CVs and tell me how much you love me,” she said with her signature humor.
She also expressed her desire for a relationship rooted in authenticity, adding, “When love finds me, may it be pure, secure, and everything I’ve ever dreamed of.” Her openness to finding love marks a significant shift in her perspective, one influenced by the personal challenges she faced in recent years.
The actress opened up about her experience navigating single motherhood following a difficult breakup in 2023. Matubia reflected on the fears and doubts that accompanied her new reality, admitting, “As a single mom, there’s so much fear. I often ask myself, ‘Can I take care of my family alone and still achieve my personal goals?’”
Despite these challenges, Matubia has embraced independence, emphasizing the importance of self-reliance. “One thing we need to heal from as single moms is waiting for a man to step in. Let’s take control. At the end of the day, the children are ours,” she advised.
Her reflections also offered encouragement to other single mothers, urging them to appreciate their efforts. “You might not live in the best estates or drive the best cars, but you’re not homeless, and your children don’t go to bed hungry. That’s enough,” she said, inspiring many to find strength in their daily victories.
For 2025, Matubia is focused on positivity and personal growth. Her heartfelt request to her fans “include me in your small prayers” resonated deeply, showcasing her vulnerability and hope for a love that aligns with her dreams.
As she begins this new chapter, Matubia continues to inspire others with her resilience, humor, and unwavering faith in the possibilities ahead. For her and those on a similar journey, 2025 promises to be a year of new beginnings and heartfelt connections.
