Phil Karanja, the founder of Phil Production and ex-husband to actress Kate Actress, has shared valuable lessons he learned following their divorce. In a candid interview with CTA (Cleaning The Airwaves), Karanja revealed that the end of his marriage led him to a profound period of self-reflection.
“I don’t blame anyone for the divorce,” he explained, emphasizing the importance of looking inward to understand personal shortcomings. According to Karanja, this introspection helped him identify areas in his life that needed improvement, offering an opportunity for growth. “Divorce took me to a place of looking at myself where I went wrong and what I should have worked on,” he added.
During this time, Karanja connected with other individuals who had gone through similar experiences, gaining insight into the lasting emotional impact of divorce. He shared a powerful vow he made to himself after speaking with others who were still harboring bitterness years after their separation. “I remember telling myself, five years from now, I do not want to be this bitter at my ex-wife,” he confessed. Instead of blaming his former partner, Karanja focused on his own growth, promising not to channel any anger towards Kate Actress.
The couple announced their divorce in September 2023 through a joint statement on social media, requesting privacy for the sake of their children. “We came to a conclusion to end our marriage a long while ago and are separated,” they stated. Despite their separation, Karanja and Kate Actress have maintained a positive relationship, continuing to co-parent and work together as business partners.
Karanja further emphasized the importance of maintaining a respectful relationship after a breakup, as they both move on with their lives. While Kate Actress has since introduced a new partner to her followers, Karanja’s focus remains on moving forward with maturity and respect for their shared history.
Phil Karanja’s perspective offers a refreshing approach to handling the complexities of divorce, focusing on personal healing and growth rather than bitterness.
