Asked how they met, Nyati said: “Ah, age old question. Michelle and I met 10 years ago. We used to work together at an advertising firm. it was my lucky day.”
Fans also prompted Niyati to speak about Ntalami’s relationship with Makena Njeri. One follower asked if Niyati is still friends with Njeri.
“This is a tough question. We are not as close as we used to be. No one can ever be okay with someone putting a loved one through so much pain. I watched Michele go through it all and it was painful to see. But I have no ill-feeling towards her ex,” she said.
