Celebrities often paint a picture of perfect unions on social media, the recent separation of actor and singer Pascal Tokodi and former NTV’s Crossover host Grace Ekirapa has sent shockwaves through their fan base.
The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in October 2020, is now reportedly and allegedly living separately, their once perfect love live shattered by the harsh realities of live.
Despite the couple’s curated online presence, an insider revealed that the primary issue leading to their split was the challenge of sustaining a lavish lifestyle with limited resources.
Tokodi, being the primary breadwinner, faced the burden of meeting their extravagant needs, while Ekirapa played the role of a stay-at-home mom.
The reports claim that the couple’s different views on financial matters, particularly their approach to acquiring assets like a car, became a breaking point in their relationship.
Tokodi’s preference for a more affordable vehicle clashed with Ekirapa’s desire for a more luxurious option. The strain reportedly led Tokodi to take a loan to purchase a Mazda CX-5 at a cost of Sh1.9 million, a decision that still weighs on him as he services the car loan.
There are also allegations that friction arose over Ekirapa’s purported dislike for Tokodi’s circle of friends and professional collaborations.
The insider claimed that Ekirapa opposed Tokodi’s collaboration with King Kaka, arguing that they were exploiting him.
This alleged interference in Tokodi’s career and personal relationships contributed to a growing divide between the once-happy couple.
When questioned about their separation, Ekirapa remained tight-lipped. Tokodi, on the other hand, downplayed the situation, saying, “They are actually doing okay.”
