Saumu Mbuvi vividly recalls how she messed up her relationship to a nice loving man.
Mike Sonko’s eldest daughter opened up about her experiences in the dating field while speaking during an interview with SPM Buzz.
Recalling her first-ever relationship, Saumu described her ex-partner as a traditional and rustic individual.
Saumu fondly remembered their time together, stating that they were both studying at JKUAT during their courtship.
“He was a well-mannered individual, brought up traditionally, and possessed a great deal of respect,” Saumu said.
Saumu said she was attracted to her first boyfriend because he ‘kienyeji’ and really down to earth.
“Alikua mshamba lakini pia alikua ameraisiwa vizuri. Alikua wale kienyeji lakini alikua na heshima. Ata pombe ata bangi, never did drugs. Alikua mtu wa Mungu, mtu wa kanisa,” Saumu said.
Saumu further added that her boyfriend gave her Ksh300,000 during her graduation.
Ultimately, she and her ex-boyfriend made the mutual decision to separate when their relationship was no longer working. Saumu explained that she chose to distance herself from anything that would mentally drain her.
Reflecting on her past actions, Saumu admitted regretting her previous attempts to market her “kienyeji” boyfriend on social media. She realized that she had inadvertently turned their relationship into a spectacle.
Saumu learnt to keep her love life private, avoiding sharing it on social media. She believes that anything that brings her happiness should remain away from the scrutiny of the media.
Despite their separation, Saumu and her ex-boyfriend maintain a cordial friendship.
