A 25-year-old Kenyan man
simply identified as Muima, has stirred the internet after revealing his plans
to marry his lover, Thereza, 85.
According to Tuko website, the
couple met when the 25-year-old and some of his friends were searching for a
house to rent. They ended up renting her house and she would often call Muima,
“My husband”.
Speaking about his love life,
Muima said, “This is my choice. This is my happiness, as anyone else has
theirs. Before pleasing others, first, please yourself and decide not based on
anyone else’s opinions.
“The way she behaved and
treated (me) pushed me to love her and though she is an old woman and in
reality, she could be my grandmother but I love her.”
Thereza, who is a grandmother,
said, “I have eight children and 20 grandchildren. According to my boyfriend’s
age, he could be my fifth grandchild. He loves me and I love him. I am ready to
put on the wedding dress and ring.”
Some social media users have
reacted to the unusual love, while some frown at it, and others are
applauding what they share.
