What exactly is happening to the institution of marriage? Break-ups left, right and centre. It seems like a certain spell has been cast on celebrity marriages. They are falling down like 'Black Hawk'.

Just a day after Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stole the global attention with their divorce news, another celebrity marriage, this time from Kenya, has bit the dust!

Only 11 months after their posh wedding on October 22, 2015, popular Mombasa-based singer Susumila and his celebrity actress wife Kibibi Salim's union is no more! According to sources, the couple separated early this month, after their marital differences pushed them over the roof.

It has been claimed that Kibibi had "run away" from the Hidaya hit maker in July to give birth at her parents' home. She has since given birth to a bouncing baby girl but she has never returned to her matrimonial home.

Speaking to a popular Coast-based blog Ommydallah.co.ke, Kibibi confirmed that the two were no longer an item. However, she refused to reveal the reason behind their separation.

“Yes it's true we separated and am back at my parents house. the reason is not that important for now. just know that we are no longer together. I can't complain because it's all God’s plans. He still remains the father to our daughter,” said Kibibi.

Nevertheless, the source added that for some time before their separation, Susumila and Kibibi had been having endless misunderstandings. According to the source, the singer has already informed Kibibi in writing that he is indeed divorcing her. The process is awaiting Chief Kadhi’s approval for it to be deemed formal and legal.

We gave Susumila a call but he laughed off the issue, with nothing to say but:

"My comment on this would be 'no comment'. I really don't want to talk anything about this at this time."

Susumila divorced his first wife Ruth Jimmy just a few months before walking down the aisle with the screen siren.
