Over the years, her love life has been the subject of much speculation and gossip, with rumors swirling about her romantic entanglements.

Despite the public display of affection, both Maribe and Itumbi denied rumors of dating, insisting they were just friends. Itumbi, in several media interviews and social media posts, reiterated that their relationship was purely platonic.
Following her alleged involvement with Itumbi, Maribe’s romantic life took another turn when she dated Oliver Mathenge, a journalist from the Nation Media Group.
However, their relationship came to an end when Mathenge tied the knot with Njeri Wamarite in 2015.
In 2012, Maribe found herself entangled in a relationship with comedian Eric Omondi.
The pair welcomed a baby boy in 2014, but Omondi’s absence from their son’s life raised eyebrows. Maribe revealed in an interview that their relationship was not planned, and Omondi was not ready for a serious commitment at the time she got pregnant.
Despite their history, Maribe expressed doubts about rekindling their romance, emphasizing that she didn’t see a future with Omondi.
Eric Omondi’s claims further fueled speculation about Maribe’s romantic endeavors when he alleged that she had cheated on Sam Ogina with him in 2012.
In 2018, Maribe’s romantic journey took a dramatic turn when she became involved with Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu. Their relationship seemed promising, with Jowie proposing to Maribe in June 2018. However, just three months later, Jowie was arrested as the main suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani. Maribe stood by him initially but eventually ended their relationship while Jowie spent 18 months in Kamiti Maximum Prison before being released on bond in early 2020.
Jacque Maribe’s love life has been a whirlwind of relationships, each marked by its own set of challenges and controversies.
