How they met
Their relationship began 10 years ago when the two met at a ferry in Likoni and shared a meal of bread and soda.
Although they had met previously and were familiar with each other, Waiganjo would later reveal that the meeting at the ferry marked the beginning of his pursuit for Waiguru whose love life remained a closely-guarded secret despite her high-flying career.
This act of humility (feasting on bread and a bottle of soda), according to Waiganjo melted his heart, making him realize that “she (Waiguru) was a basic girl,” despite her career and achievements.
