In an interview conducted by a vernacular online channel Hungura, Winrose revealed for the first time in a public forum that her marriage lasted only 59 days.
“A lot of people know that I got married in 2017, but what they don’t know is that my marriage only lasted for 59 days. On the 59th day, my marriage ended and I packed my bags and left,” Winrose stated.
Further, the bubbly news anchor stated that the Reuben Kivati re-married and started a family.
“The reasons that led to our separation is something that we both do not understand, maybe one day, we will understand.
“I wouldn’t want to talk a lot about him because he is someone’s husband and a father as well, hence, it would not be right to talk about him in his absence,” Winrose stated.
Winrose, who has since healed from the ordeal, stated that the journey has not been easy.
“I was pregnant and I had to start my life from zero. Everyone was talking about my situation and at that time, I just decided to distance myself from people.
“I had a very small circle of friends who would listen to me and I tried as much as possible to distance myself from that,” Winrose stated.

Winrose, who was pregnant at the time, disclosed that she developed complications during her delivery and was advised by the doctor to undergo a surgery.
“I had gone for my last clinic when the doctor told me that I needed a surgery. So I signed a consent form and told the doctors to book me a room where visitors would not be allowed,” she stated.
Winrose added that she delivered her baby safely and contacted her parents the next day with the good news.
While asked to advise those who aspired to get married, the mother of one stated that it was only God who would help those in marriage.
“Despite everything I have gone through, I firmly believe that marriage works. However, for a marriage to work, one has to work on it. Just believe in God and the process,” Winrose stated.
Winrose and her estranged husband got married in April 2017 in a ceremony attended by family, friends and media personalities.
Inooro TV presenter exits after 7-year screen presence
Prime time news anchor at Inooro TV, Winrose Wangui, has left the station after working at the media house for seven years.
The newscaster, who anchors news in the local Kikuyu language, announced to her listeners on live TV that she had done her last broadcast at the station on October 30.
During the announcement, Wangui stated that she has had a beautiful, learning journey and an exciting experience at the Royal Media Services-owned station, adding that she was taking a new direction.
“Change is Inevitable. It’s my last bulletin and my last day of service at Royal Media Services (Inooro TV). What a beautiful journey! 7 years and looks like yesterday. It has been such an exciting experience but now I have to say goodbye to my colleagues and our amazing audience,” she said.
While using her local dialect, Wangui thanked God, and the company for the opportunity to serve under the brand, she also thanked colleagues for their support in making her a reputable journalist, and her fans who formed her audience for giving her their ears and eyes as she leaves to pursue other interests.
“Thanks to the RMS fraternity for offering me this opportunity and you the people that formed our daily audience. To my Family, All my supporters, and friends it has been such an honor. May the Almighty God bless you now and forever,” she added.
In her exit note, she recollected her journey when she joined the station seven years ago, saying that she was a naïve small girl who knew nothing about the media industry but leaves as a package of knowledge and a voice in the industry, especially while broadcasting in her local language.
She also recognized several leaders at the station and departmental heads for being pivotal in her growth as a journalist.
“To the chairman, S.K Macharia, Vice Chair Gathoni Macharia, M.D Wachira Waruru, Linus Kaikai, and the whole RMS family. I began the journey as a young and novice person and I leave with lots of experience,” she stated.
She was intercepted by a section of other employees led by Francis Gachuri, and other colleagues as she made her final remarks, presenting a cake in celebration of the anchor’s time and work at the station.
