Editing Esther Passaris (section)

== Personal Life ==

Esther Passaris has two children with Kenyan businessman and industrialist Pius Ngugi. In 2003, she filed a lawsuit against Ngugi for breach of promise to marry and sought a monthly allowance and a vehicle for their children's transportation. The case attracted public attention due to its legal and societal implications. In 2011, Ngugi filed a counter-suit claiming she continued to demand money despite an existing agreement.

Their daughter, '''Makenna Ngugi''', has since pursued a successful career in music and modeling.

In April 2022, Passaris held a private celebration to mark what would have been her father's 80th birthday, complete with a cake-cutting ceremony and prayers. She frequently shares moments from her family life on her social media, reflecting a strong bond with her children and late father.
