Fast forward to 2022 with his newly revealed girlfriend, whom a lot of fans online aren't really convinced is his actual significant other.
Eric got his bae Lynne a blue Vitz for her birthday.
Yes, you read that correctly, a Vitz. And true to the comedians' character, the birthday gift was unveiled in pomp, hype, and publicity.
An emotionally happy but quite shy Lynne was walked over to the car by her man and Eric had this post on Instagram talking about the gift it had emojis but no actual lovey-dovey words such as "I love you" were said.
And something more notable is he said, " we got Lynne ..." not I indicated that it was probably a company thing
This got netizens curious with most wondering why Eric got her such a "small" gift.
One commented, " You're not a luo bwana Unanunulia mama vitz ya 200 bob"
Brianmwenga said "Kiherehere yote Eric na huwezi nunua gari mpya yawa."
Kevinmmasi commented, " umesema something small kwani hauko sure na yeye "
Viril_tv noted, " the term is we."
Brasho commented, " hii gari ni mzee, angalia miguu."
Rozzy_arose " Italiano alipewa mercedes mwenzetu Vitz... aluta continua."
With these details in account do you believe Eric and Lynne are really dating or it's his usual clout chasing game because we've seen similar scripts before?
Or did he learn from his younger self? Is it a reflection of their relationship? For now, we'll just speculate and celebrate Lynn's new ride.
