Nairobi, Kenya- Car dealer Khalif Kairo has defended his former girlfriend Wavinya, saying she didn’t abandon him at the point of need.
While speaking to Kibe on One-on-One, Kairo opened up on his relationship with Wavinya while he was having legal trouble.Kairo stated that he is the one who broke up with her after he got arrested multiple times.
Under intense pressure from authorities and clients, Kairo has revealed that it was him who told Wavinya that the relationship would not work.
He is currently single and busy.
“I don’t have a girlfriend simply because running these companies is a full time job. It is such an obsessive job that you don’t have time and a woman would need attention,” Khalif Kairo said during the interview.
Kairo, now 25, also opened up about his split with influencer Cindy Kipsang, a relationship that once had social media buzzing with aesthetic goals and soft-life envy.
But behind the curated Instagram reels was a young couple buckling under the weight of attention, ego, and emotional immaturity.
“I was too online for my own good,” Kairo admitted. “We were not just dating each other. We were dating the internet too.”
The breakup wasn’t private. It was dissected, meme’d, and memed again. Screenshots circulated, narratives spun, and both parties were dragged into a messy spiral of blame and speculation.
For Kairo, the most painful part wasn’t the end—it was being misunderstood by an audience that felt entitled to his personal life.
He confessed to reacting emotionally. Angry tweets, defensive stories, cryptic captions—it was all a form of digital flailing. “I didn’t know how to suffer silently,” he said. “Everything I did was public, so when I hurt, I stayed public.”
The podcast revealed a softer, more introspective side to a man often portrayed as flashy or arrogant. He reflected on the red flags he ignored, the attention he chased, and the peace he now prioritizes. “Love is not for show. I had to learn that the hard way.”
When Kibe asked if he still believes in love, Kairo didn’t flinch. “Of course I do. But I’ll never put it online again.”
Now, he says he’s dating peace. No posts, no filters, no captions. Just healing.
