Khalif Kairo, a once-prominent city car dealer now entangled in legal and financial turmoil, has publicly addressed swirling rumors about the collapse of his high-profile relationship with model Wavinya Maria. During a candid X Space session on Monday night, Kairo confirmed the pair parted ways amicably in 2023, months before his recent fraud charges made headlines.
Kairo, who faces multiple lawsuits for allegedly defrauding clients, dismissed claims that Wavinya contributed to his downfall. He insisted their breakup was unrelated to his current legal battles, stating, “I ended things with Wavinya peacefully long before my issues began. Blaming her for my problems is unfair—she didn’t cause this.”
The embattled businessman further denied accusations that Wavinya squandered his wealth, leaving him in debt. Instead, he attributed the short-lived nature of his relationships to his demanding career, admitting he struggles to balance work and romance. “My focus has always been on my business. I’ve never prioritized relationships, which is why they rarely last,” he explained.
Speculation about the split intensified after Wavinya scrubbed all traces of Kairo from her Instagram account, unfollowing him and deleting photos of their time together. While she has yet to comment publicly, sources close to the model suggest she distanced herself as Kairo’s legal and financial woes escalated.
Kairo’s admission comes amid ongoing court cases tied to allegations of fraud, with aggrieved clients accusing him of withholding vehicles and millions in payments. Critics, however, remain skeptical of his narrative, questioning the timing of the breakup and his attempts to shield Wavinya from public scrutiny.
As the story unfolds, Kenyans continue to dissect the drama online, with many urging accountability for his alleged financial misconduct. For now, Kairo’s personal and professional life remains under a microscope.
