Kagwe Mungai and Sharon Mwangi.

Content creator Sharon Mwangi and musician Kagwe Mungai on Friday announced their break up, thanking fans for supporting them throughout their journey.

Through a joint statement, the pair admitted sharing the news felt 'a little cringe' but they wanted to set the record straight.

They said that their relationship was full of love and affection but they had opted to take individual paths.

"We want to be transparent with you all even though sharing this publicly feels a little cringe. We know how easily facts can be misconstrued, so know that anything you hear or read elsewhere is likely fiction or assumptions.

"The truth is, we've decided to lovingly separate as a couple. Our journey together has been extraordinary, filled with deep love and affection. The love we have for each other remains, but it's taking a beautiful new shape, a chance for each of us to blossom on our own paths," read the statement in part.

Noting that there is no bad blood between them, they said they are best friends who recognised the need for individual space to pursue other things.

"We won't be engaging in further discussions on this and we deeply appreciate your understanding and respect for our privacy," they said.
