“I see now he has moved on, people gonna say why are you talking about him, I just don’t talk about him because I don’t want to talk about him. And out of respect for him moving on with his life and I think where we are now we chatter our own paths. I want to correct the fact that he said we broke up while he was still inside, we had broken up, let’s be honest, we had broken up before. It had happened before let’s be honest about it. But he is not somebody I will mud-sling or anything this is a story will do an exclusive one the case is over because I think it’s important that people find out the truth from the horse’s mouth” Maribe said in an interview with True love magazine.
The mother of one further expressed regrets over her rushed relationship with Jowie saying that they had only dated for one year hence getting engaged was too soon.
“He was very nice, and he genuinely was, I will never come out and say anything to the contrary.

Because we had only dated for one year before the engagement….” She added.
