In a recent interview with Metha ya Kagoni Elias Njeru revealed that he has been together with his first wife Warimu for 12 years and they have three children.
The businessman noted that he met Wairimu when they were teenagers in the village and their relationship deepened when they both attended Kenyatta University, where they began living together.
“Wairimu and I met when she was in class seven. We used to greet each other, and I would often tell her that she was a great woman. We started living together while at KU and ran a business together. Things were going well, and we have now been together for 12 years. We have not had any significant issues during this time, and our marriage has been solid. We are planning to have a formal wedding next year.”
Talking about Florence, Njeru noted that he met Florence Wanjiku during their business dealings, and their relationship led to the birth of a child.
He also admitted that he kept his second family hidden from his first wife for almost two years.
According to him, his intention was to focus on raising his child with Florence and to ensure that he could be a present father.
His plan took a different turn four months ago after Florence decided to call his wife Wairimu to inform her of their relationship.
“Getting another family does not mean I had issues with my wife. We were doing business together, and during that time, we ended up having a child. I have always prayed to God to be in my children’s lives, which is why I decided to take care of Florence and our child. That’s how I found myself involved in that situation.”
He emphasised that having a second family was not a result of marital problems with his first wife, Wairimu.
The pastor moreover said he apologized to his wife for the betrayal and he is willing to make amends and rebuild his marriage with Wairimu.
He praised his wife for being so strong adding that she has been a supportive partner through this difficult time.
