Aside from setting trends, being role models, and entertaining us, among other things, celebrities also get to experience life, the same way every human does.

The only difference, however, for them is that they are public figures and everything they do is pretty much under the watch of their fans. No one expects them to make a wrong step.

One of the biggest challenges celebrities continue to face is keeping their relationships private and when things go south, they have to face the reality and open up to their fans about it.

The breakup for many reasons which we may not know as fans, but again they have to give us an explanation of why it had to happen.

Here is a list of celebrities who broke up in 2021;

Lillian Nganga and Governor Mutua

Machakos <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/celebrities/alfred-mutua-loses-first-round-in-court-battle-against-lilian-nganga/j7dwdx5">Governor Dr Alfred Mutua</a> and his then partner Lillian Nganga went public with their separation on August 15, 2021.

In his statement Mutua acknowledged that “couple goals” status was already labeled against them, because a section of young people used to admire their relationship.

On the other hand, Ms Nganga claimed the winds of change had blown her way and she had severed her relationship with the governor without going into details.

On November 4, Ms Nganga said that Mutua had threatened to deal with her and people close to her after their separation.

“…Mutua angrily termed me as his Enemy No 1. and threatened to ‘crush me to ash’, as he takes away everything I have and own. Indeed, this has already started as he has demanded that I refund any money he has ever given to me or made available for my use,” she said.

In addition, Nganga disclosed that the Machakos County boss had already started to re-possess her assets.

In a video released on a YouTube channel they used to jointly run, the two revealed that their shared goals were no longer tenable.
