Nairobi Matatu Operators Chairman Jamal Rohosafi made details regarding his relationship with his employee, Michelle Wangari Thiongo, public.

The couple posted on their respective Instagram handles on Tuesday, February 14, the same day couples around the world are celebrating Valentines' Day.

For a long time, it was rumoured that Jamal and Wangari, who is his best friend and employee at his micro-finance company, were an item and truth be told, they had kept details of their relationship under wraps.

The photo the two shared captured them cuddled to each other in a maternity shoot in which Wangari showcased her baby bump.

Jamal posted: “Nilisema nitapenda after three years na nikama imeenda haraka. (I wanted to fall in love after three years but it seems time has moved fast).”

“We are celebrating more than our Valentine’s, the best decision we ever made was having you,” Wangari wrote on her end, adding that they were also celebrating their anniversary.

It was only three days ago that Wangari announced the news of her pregnancy, expressing gratitude for the blessings in her life, though she did not reveal who the father of the unborn child was.

Rumours of Jamal and Wangari dating have been rife since 2022, but they did not publicly confirm they were an item. However, he raised eyebrows in July 2022 during Wangari's birthday celebration, where he posted a video of the two of them enjoying a drink as they waited for their meal to be served.

"Happiest birthday to my best friend, continue being the amazing person you are," he captioned the post.
