Jackie Matubia has spoken about getting married at a young age and what contributed to her decision to get married at 23. Jackie Matubia narrated her experience of being married at an early age. During the reality show Mommy’s Club on Showmax, Jackie narrated the challenges she went through and expressed how glad she is that her first daughter experienced a father figure, albeit briefly. “I got married at 23, so I really wanted to do it. I wanted to have a husband, and then my friend had already gotten a child, and she was married. And so I was looking at moving from hostels to now being married. I wanted that. I got married differently. It did not work out, but I was like ‘it’s fine’. What I miss the most is raising a child with your loved one. Such an amazing thing,” she said.Does Jackie Matubia regret getting married early? The award-winning actress lamented that her secondborn did not get to enjoy having a father, as she parted ways with Blessing Lung’aho months after her birth.
“I do not regret anything that I went through or change anything. Because the pain, the hurt, the violence that I went through made me who I am today,” she added. Jackie had in the past narrated how she begged Lung’aho not to reject their daughter even if their relationship did not work out. It is unclear what led to their breakup, as Lung’aho has never given his side of the story since he got out of Jackie’s life.
