Thee Pluto says breakup with Felicity was a turning point in his life
By Valerian Khakayi, July 24, 2025Popular YouTuber and entrepreneur Robert Ndegwa Kamau, popularly known as Thee Pluto, has opened up about the emotional and professional transformation he experienced following his high-profile breakup with fellow content creator Felicity Shiru.
Speaking during an interview with Dr Ofweneke on Wednesday night, July 23, 2025, Thee Pluto acknowledged that their relationship played out under intense public scrutiny, making the split messy and deeply personal.
He admitted taking responsibility for his role in the fallout and emphasised the importance of privacy moving forward.
Additionally, Pluto revealed he took intentional time to reflect, heal, and rebuild himself, adding that the post-breakup period was about transitioning to a stronger, more grounded version of himself.
“My marriage was public, and I agree the breakup was messy for me. I take responsibility for my part that unfolded in ways that I could not imagine. After that, I took time to heal and learn, and I have taken time to also evolve and become a better man,” Thee Pluto said.
Lesson learnt
He went on to say that the breakup taught him to shield his values and relationships from public scrutiny, creating a healthier balance between his private life and public persona.
“The breakup taught me more than success has. A lot of things you have to keep private. I have learnt to separate myself from whatever I have or the values I hold, from whatever is in the public and how the public looks at me,” he added.
Despite the heartbreak, Pluto maintained that his faith in marriage and relationships remains intact.
“My breakup has not changed the perception I have of marriage and relationships. Sometimes love does not fail it teaches us,” he said, marking a mature outlook on love and personal growth.
Breakup
Pluto was in a high-end relationship with Shiru for nearly three years, but it was not until September 2024 that they decided to part ways.
At the time, it was Pluto who first broke the news, taking to Instagram to announce that their union had abruptly come to an end.
And he took a moment to advise his fans against rushing to speculate on the reasons behind their breakup, warning that such speculation could fuel misinformation.
He further assured that despite their separation, they would remain committed co-parents for the sake of their young daughter and asked fans who were relentlessly pressing him for details to respect their privacy, as the breakup had been a difficult time for both of them.
“We have decided to go our separate ways and end our three-year relationship. Thank you for the continued support from family, friends, and fans. Let’s not speculate anything or spread lies about the situation. We will co-parent peacefully to ensure the life of our lovely daughter is not affected. Give us some space during this hard time,” he wrote.
