During his appearance on the Churchill Show journey series edition, Milele FM presenter Alex Mwakideu shared his personal story in a candid and revealing manner. He disclosed that he grew up in a polygamous family in Mombasa, with two wives and 18 siblings, being the youngest. Due to their financial situation, the family lived in a single room where he and his siblings slept on the floor.
Mwakideu went on to speak about his love life, admitting to being a Casanova in his younger years. He recounted how he pursued his current wife, Mariam Mwemba, despite being in a relationship with someone else at the time. Mariam initially turned him down, but Mwakideu persisted in his efforts to win her over for eight years until she finally agreed to date him.
The couple got married in 2014 and have been blessed with three children. Mwakideu’s journey is a testament to perseverance and determination in the pursuit of love.
