Kenyan actress Lynne Njihia has stated she is not in a rush to reconcile with her ex, Eric Omondi, nor is she actively seeking a new romantic relationship.
In a recent interview with Mpasho, Lynne emphasized that her sole focus is currently on raising their child, Kyla.
“I’m not in a hurry to reconcile with Eric. It was beautiful while it lasted,” Lynne shared. “I know people are already asking when we’ll be back together and if the ship will keep sailing. Right now, I’m focusing on me and Kyla, and I think Eric is also doing the same, focusing on himself and Kyla.”
She reiterated her current priorities, adding, “Right now, I am just about me. I’m just about my brand. If dating comes then it’s okay. If it doesn’t then it’s okay. But I’m not in a rush. I’m not searching. I’m not in a hurry at all.”
Lynne also revealed that motherhood has profoundly changed her, particularly in cultivating patience. “Oh my god. I was the most impatient person before I gave birth to Kyla. You wouldn’t have told me to wait for even 30 minutes,” she admitted.
“But motherhood has taught me patience. It has taught me to be very, very patient with my child.” She highlighted that patience is crucial when engaging with children, as it takes time for them to process information and respond.
Acknowledging the challenges of being a mother, Lynne admitted to moments where she has felt she acted out of line.
“You have to be very patient to avoid such situations. I have decided to be very calm these days as a result,” she stated, indicating a conscious effort to maintain composure.
She expressed immense gratitude for her support system, commending her mother and nanny for assisting her in navigating the demands of both motherhood and her career.
“My mom has been my support system. She has been taking care of Kyla to let me rest. My nanny too has been a great support system because she helps in handling my personal stuff,” Lynne said.
Lynne also praised her ex-husband Eric for his active involvement in their daughter’s life, describing him as a consistently present father.
“Eric has been a great support system for me. He has always been there for Kyla as a dad, and he’s a very present dad, and I love that,” she affirmed.
Despite their separation, she noted their successful co-parenting dynamic. “We separated but we are okay in co-parenting. Yeah. Couples outside there find themselves in unresolved disputes when they separate. For us, we decided that we are gonna make life pretty easy and we are gonna do it for Kyla and we are gonna set aside our emotions for her and whatever we feel for her.”
She concluded by emphasizing their shared commitment to Kyla’s well-being: “All I can say is the child belongs to both Eric and I, and they need to grow knowing that everything is okay between their parents, who are always ever present in their lives, which is a beautiful thing. That’s all that matters.”
