Digital content creator and brand influencer Murugi Munyi and her husband, Zach, are celebrating their 8th wedding anniversary, and the mother of three couldn’t be more excited.
Taking to her Instagram feed, the TMI podcast co-host shared a heartwarming throwback photo from their wedding night, marveling at how quickly time has flown.
Murugi revealed that they tied the knot while she was pregnant, which made the experience even more exhausting for her.
While she was thrilled to be getting married, she noted that people rarely talk about how truly draining weddings can be.
Murugi reflected on how ecstatic her husband was after they had finally formalized their union.
“I was pregnant and tired; he was excited and also tired. No one talks about how tiring weddings are lol,” she wrote.
Addressing her husband directly, Murugi showered Zach with praise, calling him her anchor and strength. She expressed her unwavering love, stressing that she would still choose him a thousand times over.
“Happy 8th anniversary, my love Munyi, my Rhino, my King. In this life and the next, I choose you.”
On her Instagram Stories, Murugi shared a cute video of herself shopping for an anniversary gift for Zach at a high-end Nairobi store specializing in luxury clothing, shoes, and accessories.
She playfully admitted she was tempted to get herself a gift as well, seeing as retail therapy is a guaranteed dopamine boost—and after all, eight years of marriage is no small feat.
Murugi and Zach Munyi on their wedding nightNavigating Marriage and Past Controversies
Murugi and Zach share two daughters, while she also has a son from a previous relationship.
Back in 2022, their marriage was thrust into the spotlight when it was rocked by infidelity allegations. A US-based Kenyan woman, Nurse Judy, claimed she had been romantically involved with Zach while he was still married to Murugi.
The scandal dominated headlines for weeks, with further allegations surfacing that Murugi herself was also unfaithful.
Addressing the controversy in an interview with Lynn Ngugi, Murugi dismissed the rumours and urged people to stop fixating on other people’s marriages.
“People can write anything, but I never say anything. Kenyans don’t always discern media reports—they just read the headlines. If you want to believe I’m a certain kind of person, go ahead. I can’t spend my time defending myself.”
She also had a strong message for online critics: “Leave people who have been naked together alone. No publicity is bad publicity. If she keeps saying I’m a bad person, how does that hurt her? People online don’t care about your marriage. The good thing about Kenyan media is that today you are the story, and tomorrow something else will trend. I just try to use the publicity to my advantage.”
