Eric Omondi has commented on claims that he is the father of TV journalist Jacque Maribe’s son.

The comedian who was once in a relationship with Maribe some years back said that he knew who the baby daddy was, but this was not a good time to reveal him.

“I know the baby daddy; however, it is not a good time to reveal him, Jacque Maribe is undergoing a difficult time,” he told the Nairobian.

His words came after a close friend to both Maribe and the comedian said the comedian was the real father of her son.

“Her baby daddy is Eric Omondi but he bailed out on her and this profoundly affected her,” the friend told The Nairobian.

The friend was referring to her son whom she gave birth to when she was dating comedian Eric Omondi.

“Her baby daddy is Eric Omondi, but he bailed out on her and this profoundly affected her,” said another friend who was close to the two at the time. 


The friend disclosed that the comedian has been footing child support bills since the baby was born in May 2014. 

His friends in comedy circles confirmed that the paternity is an open secret. But when Omondi left, another affair followed with another man with whom she cohabited in Mountain View estate Nairobi before dumping him “for being too emotionally needy.”
