Tanzanian singer Ben Pol has said that he did not enjoy his marriage to Keroche heiress Anerlisa Muigai.
The two began dating in 2018 and got married in May 2020, only for them to separate in in early 2021. Their divorce was finalized in September 2020
Speaking in an interview with Clouds FM, Ben Pol said that after marrying Anerlisa they had no plans of taking their marriage to the next level like raising children.
“After taking the vows, I did not enjoy the marriage. I am not a liar, if you remove the photos and things like Instagram. I did not feel excited about the marriage to the extend of having plans such as construction, having children, I didn’t see that. I have never experienced what I see in other marriages like that of the people close to me in our marriage
According to him, he was very much in love with Anerlisa but from the look of things, she was just using him for her own reasons.
“For us it was ‘sit here pose for a photo’ that is it. I have no regrets, I am speaking this from a neutral point with no intentions of bringing anyone down. I feel like I was part of the photos to make them complete,” he said.
The Moyo Mashine hitmaker further confessed that he has never been dedicated in any other relationship like he was with Anerlisa. He added that the last time he spoke to her was in June last year when he handed her the things she had left in Tanzania, which she asked him to bring them along in his Nairobi trip.
Asked on whether he can rekindle his love with Anerlisa, Ben Pol said that he is not willing to get back together with her in case a chance arises.
“There are good things that I miss about her but there are those I feel its better how things went,” Ben Pol said.
