From Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan to Kathy Kiuna and Allan Kiuna; This Is How Your Favorite Celebrities Met Their Spouses (+Photos)

Airing for 9 seasons, ‘How I Met Your Mother’ looked into the series of events that led to Ted Mosby meeting the mother of his children and the love of his life, Virginia Mosby.

And for these celebrities meeting their spouses was not as complicated as Ted meeting Virginia Mosby, but their stories are equally beautiful and very relatable. Here is how these celebrities met the mother/father of their children/future children.

1. Octopizzo and His Wife

In a beautiful message sent to his gorgeous wife on Instagram, Octopizzo revealed that he saw his fiancée on a billboard and knew that he had to make her his.

”I remember seeing her on that Billboard and I was like “Damn!! I gotta make her mine, and I dared myself to say Hi, how I planned it would be. It wasn’t even close. It was a thousand times better.” He disclosed.

2.Kathy Kiuna and Bishop Kiuna

When Bishop Allan was serving under Reverend Teresa Wairiumu, Kathy was a secretary in that church but he didn’t notice her at first as at that point he was chasing someone else.

But things changed as he was making a phone call at City Hall to his mum and Kathy passed by. Something in him clicked and right there, he knew that Kathy was going to be his wife.

He took a break from the phone call and asked Kathy to speak with him. But Kathy turned him down telling him that she was busy as she was in a rush to join the praise and worship team for lunch time service.

After this incident at City Hall, Allan dropped all his other romantic prospects and started pursuing Kathy; now they have 3 children and a grand kid.

3. Rashid Abdalla and Lulu Hassan

This couple is proof that knowing someone for a long time doesn’t guarantee that you will stay together forever or that knowing someone for a short time means that you guys won’t last. You can live with someone for close to a decade and never really know the person and you can know someone for a few days and feel like you have known them forever.

Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdalla met back in 2007 at Radio Salaam and married two weeks later and now they are still together 9 years later and blessed with two kids.

4. Talia Oyando and Director Ezy

The Homeboyz presenter met the feted director at a nightclub which she had been dragged into by her friend. When she first saw him, her heart skipped a beat and she just spent the whole time staring at him.

A week later she went back to that club hoping to bump into him. She did, but they never got to talk as he was hanging out with a common friend, Maqbull Mohammed. Another week later Talia was launching Rub a Dub when he showed up but Talia couldn’t talk to him as she was so nervous! But as fate would have it, this time they exchanged numbers and as they say the rest is history

5. Eric Omondi and Chantal Grazioli

In Eric’s own words, “We met during the Kenya at 50 celebrations in Kasarani. Her mother Nancy Grazioli came backstage and requested that I meet and take a selfie with her daughter who loved my show.

When she made this request, I thought her daughter was a kid. She said that Chantal, who had been living in Italy, used to watch me on You Tube. Since I was the MC, I told her that I’d try and take a selfie with them after wrapping up the celebrations. Alikuja mara tatu. Guess what she did the fourth time? She went and came with Chantal. Hata hatukupiga selfie. Nilileta viti nikauliza, matakunywa nini?” He revealed to True Love Magazine.

6. Brenda Wairimu and Juliani

Contrary to popular belief, Brenda made the first move on Juliani, via Twitter.

Brenda says that Juliani was slated for a performance in USIU and she tweeted that was super-excited for Juliani’s performance and that she had plaited short braids so she could shake them like he did.

Among the numerous women who had been flocking to Juliani sending him tweets, Brenda’s tweet caught his eyes. The clicked immediately and started talking as friends before things got serious and they hooked up officially. Now they have a daughter together.
