It is alleged that Popular actor and songwriter Pascal Tokodi and his wife Grace Ekirapa have split up.
According to a source who spoke to Nairobi news, the couple have been living apart since November 2023. It is alleged that Grace is still living in Limuru where the family was staying while Pascal moved back to Karen, where he was staying before they met.
The source alleged that their marriage was troubled due to financial constraints. Pascal was the family’s sole bread winner, while Grace was a house wife.
They were living in Kitengela before relocating to Limuru. The two houses are said to have been renovated in order to meet their standards.
“Grace grew tired of living in Kitengelea and suggested they move to Limuru because she wanted to be close to her sisters. They would again renovate the house remember Pascal is the one footing all these bills because Grace is technically jobless. Throughout their marriage the pressure has always been for Pascal to maintain their expensive lifestyle,” the source revealed.
After getting married in 2020, the two also decided to get a car, with Grace advising her husband to go for a one.
“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.
Another issue is that Grace had issues with Pascal’s friends.
“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.
When contacted for a comment about the matter, Grace said that she was surprised, adding that she wouldn’t discuss with an outsider whether she was still living with Pascal or not.
Pascal on the other hand said, We are actually doing okay. But thanks for asking. If you call Grace she will give you the same answer. We are okay.”
