Socialite Sheila Gashumba has said her romantic affair with Derrick Ddungu, commonly known as Rickman Manrick is no more.
The daughter to social media critic, Frank Gashumba dropped the bombshell on Saturday.
“We have reached a mutual decision to respectfully go our separate ways, understanding that our paths diverge. We are grateful for the beautiful moments we have cherished together,” she said.
“While this decision may come as a shock to some of you, we would like to assure you that it was reached with respect and understanding for each other’s paths.”
Sheila consequently requested for privacy as she focuses on personal growth, career aspirations, and nurturing meaningful friendships.
“I am currently single and not actively seeking a new relationship. My primary focus is on personal growth and pursuing my career goals.”
Describing their relationship as one filled with “love, laughter, and growth”, Sheila Gashumba said she was grateful “for the experiences we shared together.”
“My focus now is personal growth, career aspirations, and nurturing the friendships and connections that mean so much to me.I appreciate the understanding and support of our fans and followers during this time of transition. We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this new chapter in our lives,” she said.
The announcement has since attracted mixed reactions from members of the public, especially social media commentators.
