Kenyan YouTuber and content creator Nicholas Kioko has come out to set the record straight about how his relationship with Wambo Ashley actually ended. Kioko and Ashley announced their breakup on September 14, 2026, after four years together, revealing they had actually gone their separate ways roughly three months before making the news public. The former couple shares three children, twin boys and a daughter.

In a candid selfie-style video filmed inside a moving car and shared on Instagram, Kioko spoke openly about the nature of the split. He clarified that he and Ashley had a peaceful breakup, pushing back against speculation that the two parted ways on bad terms. Kioko made clear that the separation has not affected his commitment to his children, confirming he visits nearly every day and continues to cover household expenses, including rent at his former family home.

Kioko, who has built a significant following through his YouTube and social media content, revealed he is in the process of settling into a new home of his own. He stated that the new chapter has been in the works for a while, adding that he is officially moving into his new house. Throughout the clip, Kioko's tone was relaxed and matter-of-fact, insisting that the closeness he and Ashley shared doesn't mean the end of respect or cooperation.

The video has drawn attention for its unusually candid and unbothered tone at a time when celebrity splits in Kenya often play out publicly and messily. Kioko's openness about co-parenting and continued financial support signals that the two are prioritizing their children's stability above all else. Fans have taken notice of Kioko's approach, viewing it as a refreshing change from the usual drama surrounding celebrity breakups.

Kioko and Ashley previously discussed their relationship on Oga Obinna's talk show, where they talked about checking each other's phones. Kioko admitted he once found messages from friends and a politician in Ashley's inbox, while she declined to discuss the exchange. The resurfaced clip has now drawn fresh attention from fans, who are viewing the old jokes differently after the couple's breakup.

The former couple had quietly separated about three months before going public, and their decision to prioritize their children's well-being has been well-received by fans. Kioko's commitment to his children is evident, and his openness about the situation has helped to dispel rumors surrounding the breakup. As a popular content creator, Kioko's approach to the situation has set a positive example for his followers.

Kioko's clarification about the peaceful nature of the breakup has helped to put an end to speculation surrounding the split. With his characteristic relaxed tone, Kioko has shown that it's possible for couples to part ways amicably, even after four years together.
