Jacqueline Nyaminde, known as Wilbroda from the popular Kenyan TV show Papa Shirandula, has surprised many fans with her amazing transformation. She looks younger and more lively than ever before.
In the past, Wilbroda was known for her funny role as an older character. Now, at 41 years old, she shines with energy, and many people are talking about her on social media.
Why Wilbroda looks younger
Wilbroda’s change started when she decided to live a healthier life. In a 2018 interview on K24’s Talk Central, she shared that she used to have unhealthy habits, like drinking too much alcohol starting from midday.
She said, “I reached a point where I had to snap and start making healthy decisions.” She chose to stop drinking and focus on taking responsibility, even if it meant losing some friends.
Many fans are amazed by her new look, with comments like, “Wilbroda looked old when we were young, now she looks young after tumekuwa wakubwa [we’ve grown up].”
People think her glow comes from exercising and good fashion choices. In a 2017 interview, Wilbroda mentioned that she started going to the gym, which helps improve muscle tone and skin health.
Some say that professional makeup, modern outfits, and possibly photo editing also help her look youthful.
Off the screen, Wilbroda is seen as elegant and well-spoken, which is very different from her loud character on Papa Shirandula. Her character was inspired by her grandmother’s funny personality.
In the show, she played the third wife of a watchman pretending to be a corporate boss, which made her famous. However, this often made people see her as older.
She said, “I was always cast as an elderly Luo woman” in a 2017 interview, talking about her early days in theater with groups like Heartstrings and Phoenix Players.
Now, she works as a radio presenter at Milele FM with Alex Mwakideu. She balances her job with being a mother to her son, Xolani Amin Okello, who was born in 2010.

Despite facing personal challenges, including a miscarriage in 2013 and a past marriage that had problems due to family visits, she stays positive.
“I’m really enjoying my life right now,” she said in a 2021 interview, talking about being happy as a single mother and co-parenting with her ex-husband, Francis Ngira.
Wilbroda’s vibrant energy is noticeable. On social media, she shares parts of her life, showing that she is a confident and stylish woman.
Her story inspires many people, showing that making good lifestyle choices and taking care of oneself can change how a person looks.
As she continues to entertain and connect with her fans, her transformation shows that age is just a number when you have energy and purpose.
