She doesn’t like being in the limelight at all; she wants to live an ordinary life, and I respect her choice.”
For over a decade, the name of his Tanzanian wife has remained unknown. The couple has two children, a son named Tinya and a daughter named Tanya. When he is not at work, Tuva often spends time with his children.
