Muima met his older lover Thereza when he was looking for a house to rent while he furthered his studies.
Thereza became his land-lady and he paid rent and moved into her house in Kenya.
Muima and Thereza became friends and she used to jokingly call him her husband, which he took lightly, but as time went by, both started falling in love.
Muima told Afrimax English:
“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.”
“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.”
Thereza on her part said although she has grandchildren who are older than Muima, she isn’t ashamed of her relationship.
