Former Raila Aide’s Fairytale Romance Ends in Heartbreak – What Went Wrong This Time?
In a shocking turn of events that has left Kenya’s social circles buzzing, prominent lawyer and former Raila Odinga aide Silas Jakakimba has announced his separation from wife Florence Adhiambo after just four years of marriage – marking his SECOND failed marriage in spectacular fashion!
The couple, who once epitomized relationship goals with their lavish 2021 wedding at the prestigious Safari Park Hotel, have called it quits in what insiders describe as a “devastating blow” to those who believed in their fairytale romance.
“This is absolutely heartbreaking,” said a close family friend who requested anonymity. “They seemed so perfect together, especially after all the drama with his first wife.”

Who could forget that magical October day in 2021 when Florence made her grand entrance in a helicopter at their exclusive garden ceremony?
The invite-only event had all the makings of a Hollywood romance – prominent guests, luxury settings, and a couple seemingly destined for forever.
But behind the glittering facade, cracks may have been forming earlier than anyone imagined.
This latest separation brings back haunting memories of Jakakimba’s explosive split from his first wife, Beryl, which turned nasty in 2022.
The drama reached fever pitch when Beryl made shocking allegations on social media, claiming her “life was in danger” and pointing fingers directly at her ex-husband.
“I’m being threatened for speaking up my truth. If anything happens to me, then Silas Jakakimba should be held responsible. Just for the record, he’s a licensed firearm holder. #MyLifeIsInDanger,” Beryl posted on Facebook, sending shockwaves through social media.
In a carefully crafted statement released Thursday morning, Jakakimba and Florence announced their separation with diplomatic language that barely concealed the pain beneath:
“After careful consideration and much reflection, we have made the difficult but… extremely considerate decision to separate.”
But what they DIDN’T say speaks volumes!
The couple’s refusal to disclose the reasons for their split has only fueled more speculation.
Was it the pressure of public life? Financial stress? Or something more personal that drove them apart?
Adding salt to the wound, Jakakimba had recently returned from what appeared to be a solo holiday in Greece.
Sources close to the couple reveal that Florence was notably absent from the trip – a telling sign that trouble was already brewing in paradise.
With Jakakimba eyeing the Suba North MP seat in the 2027 elections, some wonder if his political ambitions came at the cost of his marriage.
The demanding world of Kenyan politics has claimed many relationships, and this might be another casualty.
As Jakakimba navigates his second divorce, questions remain about his ability to maintain lasting relationships.
Will this pattern continue, or will he finally find the peace that has eluded him in his personal life?
The couple’s plea for privacy – “We will not be making any further public statements whatsoever regarding this matter” – suggests this split might be messier than they’re letting on.
For now, Kenya’s social media is ablaze with speculation, sympathy, and not a small amount of “I told you so” commentary.
Florence, who once flew high in that helicopter as a blushing bride, now faces the harsh reality of being part of Jakakimba’s growing list of failed relationships.
One thing’s for certain – this won’t be the last we hear about this dramatic separation!
