Kenyan choreographer and dancer Tileh Pacbro has moved to address swirling rumours about a breakup with his Colombian girlfriend. The speculation was triggered by a fan’s cheeky comment that quickly gained traction online.
The Comment that Sparked Speculation
It all began when a follower wrote in his Instagram stories :
“Naona umefanya introduction ya msupa kwa hiyo September dump.”
The suggestion was that Tileh had introduced his partner only to end things soon after. The comment reflected a growing conversation among fans, many of whom had noticed changes in the couple’s online presence.
Tileh’s Humorous Response
Tileh chose not to give a direct explanation. Instead, he posted a witty video clip of actor and filmmaker Abel Mutua, in which Mutua humorously declares:
“Mkiwai nikuta na mambo ya wasichana tena, mimi walai nitandikeni viboko.”
The playful response suggested Tileh had no interest in fuelling gossip. By leaning into humour, he shifted the conversation away from speculation and reinforced his reputation for handling sensitive topics with lightness.
His Relationship with Martinez
Before his Colombian girlfriend, Tileh was in a highly publicised relationship with fellow dancer Martinez. Together, they formed the dance duo Tileh x Martinez, which gained massive popularity in Kenya and beyond. Their creative synergy, coupled with their personal bond, made them fan favourites.
The duo became one of the most recognisable dance brands in East Africa, building a loyal online community. However, when the relationship and partnership ended, it became a widely discussed topic, with many fans expressing disappointment. Despite the split, Tileh continued to thrive as a solo act, proving his resilience in both his career and personal life.
This history has made fans particularly invested in his current relationship, hence the heightened speculation whenever rumours of trouble arise.
Why the Rumours Spread
Fans noticed that Tileh had reduced the frequency of posts featuring his Colombian girlfriend, Jessica Zapata . On social media, such shifts often trigger speculation. For public figures like Tileh, silence or subtle changes in content are quickly interpreted as signs of a breakup.
Career Focus
Beyond the gossip, Tileh has established himself as one of Kenya’s most prominent dancers and choreographers. He has run workshops, collaborated with international artists, and built a strong digital presence that has helped raise the profile of Kenyan dance on the global stage.
His artistry remains his priority, and he has often hinted that he prefers to keep personal matters private while focusing on his craft.
