Why did Phil dislike Kate Actress after first meeting? The multi-talented actress had an interview with comedian Daniel ‘Churchill’ Ndambuki on his show titled Churchill Show Journey Edition in 2021. Kate revealed she first met Phil Karanja, now ex-husband, while shooting Mother-in-Law dramedy. Phil was the director of the show by then. “We never used to like each other. He thought I was too much. I and my fellow cast, Tina, who is also my cousin, would come to set in the morning hangovered and Phil would say we were not serious with our lives. Hizo siku ungemuambia (those days if you would have told him) this would be your wife, angekataa (he would have refused),” she said. With time, they became close, and Kate revealed Phil became her go-to person. “I used to go to him for advice, and he helped me grow my brand. It is at that point we fell in love,” she explained. Kate shares about her happy marriage to Phil Talking about their first memorable date, she said: “For our first date he took her to Windsor. Ni mromantic (he’s very mromantic). He proposed to me at Hemingways, hotel Nairobi. Kate said she later left the show about being famous and was jobless for two years. Phil also left to direct the Real Househelps of Kawangware, but all didn’t go well. The actress said they struggled to make ends meet as they were broke. “Tulikuwa tunasota hata soo mbili hatuna tunaulizana tutakula nini (We would go broke in that we couldn’t even afford to get KSh 200 and even get to a point we didn’t have food),” she recalled. Kate revealed Phil was the only in her circle one who had a Mercedes Benz, and she saw him as a man with a vision and decided to settle with him. “We dated for four years then tied the knot. Hata ni mimi niliweka pressure kwa sababu unaweza kaa na mtu then utokwe,” Kate shared. The couple’s flashy wedding was held at the Windsor Hotel, where they went on their first date, and the mother of two said it was a great event. Asked by Churchill to send a message to Phil, Kate showered her man with love, and she said: “Thank you for being my anchor.” She then sang a romantic song for her partner.
