Pascal Tokodi breaks up with Grace Ekirapa, 3 years after colorful wedding
Pascal Tokodi breaks up with Grace Ekirapa
Actor Pascal Tokodi and her wife, and former NTV’s Crossover host Grace Ekirapa have officially confirmed separated.
This news was confirmed by Nairobi News which authoritatively reported that the two now live apart.
The two did a secret wedding in 2021. The couple was not ready to go public about their relationship or marriage.
Speaking at the Maisha Mapenzi event hosted at SuperSport Studios, Pascal said, “It was a very private ceremony, someone leaked the picture. It trended that same night.”
To try and minimize the effect of the leak, and confuse his enemies – and fans – Pascal spun it like a photo that was taken on the set of a music video.
“I called King Kaka that same night and we went to the studio and that same week we shot the video and released it.”
Asked if he knows who leaked his wedding photo, Pascal said, “I know who it is. I have met him a couple of times.”
He continued, “I have no idea why he leaked it because we tried to make it as private as we could because it was during Covid times so we just wanted to have a very small and simple ceremony so that when we are announcing, we are ready.”
Why Pascal Tokodi broke up with Grace Ekirapa
The breaking point came in November 2023.
A close insider revealed that the couple’s lavish lifestyle, despite their seemingly flawless social media posts, contributed to their breakup due to limited resources.
“Pascal and Grace haven’t been living together for two months now. They parted ways last November, Pascal moved back to Karen where he had been living before they met, and Grace remained in Limuru where they had been living together,” the source told Nairobi News.
According to the news outlet, the factor that led to their marriage collapsing was due to financial constraints.
“Ever since he married Grace, she has always had an issue with Pascal’s friends. I was one of the friends who cut links with them; we just started talking the other day, and a majority of people he used to associate with as well. She even didn’t want him to do the King Kaka collabo, arguing that they were exploiting him,” the source claimed.
Neither of them owned a car when they got married. The insider suggests that being a celebrity couple, they deemed it essential to invest in a set of wheels.
“Pascal and I are super close, and what he said to me is he preferred to buy a cheaper whip, preferably a Demio to begin life with, but Grace advised they get a much bigger machine. That’s how Pascal took a loan and purchased the Mazda CX-5 at Sh1.9 million that you might have seen him cruise around with. He is still servicing the car loan,” the source said.
The couple welcomed their first-born daughter in 2022.
In a post on his official Instagram page, Tokodi said their newborn daughter was coincidentally born on his birthday.
On her part, Grace said that she had prayed for God to help her find a gift for her hubby’s birthday and he had answered her prayer.
