City lawyer and political advisor Silas Jakakimba and his wife Florence Adhiambo have officially announced their separation after three years of marriage, marking the end of a relationship that had once captured national attention.
The couple described the decision as “difficult” but reached mutually and respectfully, with guidance from their families and spiritual leaders. They emphasized their commitment to privacy and the well-being of their family during this transition, asking the public and media to respect their space.
Jakakimba, a prominent figure in Kenya’s legal and political circles, shared the statement via his official social media accounts, noting that no further public comments would be made regarding the matter.
The couple reportedly met in the late 2010s, though they kept their courtship largely private. Their engagement became public in early 2021, culminating in a lavish wedding ceremony held at Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi on October 16, 2021.
The event drew high-profile guests including politicians, media personalities, and artists, with Florence making a dramatic entrance aboard a helicopter—a moment that symbolized the grandeur of their union.
Following their wedding, the couple honeymooned in Rwanda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial and sharing glimpses of their trip on social media. Their marriage was celebrated as a blend of elegance and civic symbolism, with Jakakimba often seen as a rising figure in Kenya’s legal and political circles.
While the couple maintained a relatively low public profile thereafter, they occasionally appeared together at select events. Details about their family life, including whether they have children, remain private and were not addressed in their joint statement.
On July 17, 2025, the couple released a carefully worded announcement via Jakakimba’s social media accounts, describing the decision to separate as “difficult but mutually respectful,” made with the support of their families and spiritual leaders. They emphasized their commitment to privacy and confirmed that no further public statements would be issued.
Their separation adds to a growing list of high-profile Kenyan relationships that have ended in recent years, prompting renewed conversations around marriage, public life, and personal boundaries.
