Trevor emphasized that, despite the split, they maintained a professional relationship as agreed upon in discussions with Eve’s parents.

“We didn’t break up yesterday as many people assume, or to split up. The parents are aware, we’ve already had a meeting with Eve’s parent, and we agreed that we are not in a relationship but we still work together, and it’s been fine, and we even agreed on how we’ll run the business,” he explained.

However, the collaboration came to an abrupt end when Eve breached their 50/50 agreement regarding revenue distribution from their joint brand, covering platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and others.

Trevor alleged that Eve sought a larger share of the profits, citing her role as the face of the brand.

“We had a 50/50 agreement… (but) Eve felt she does not deserve 50 per cent yet she is the image and the whatever of the brand, so she wanted more,” Trevor recalled.

The breaking point occurred when Eve, who managed the brand’s Instagram account, argued that the platform generated the majority of their revenue in 2023, implying she should have greater control over profit distribution.

Trevor believed that Eve overlooked the collective effort behind the brand, reducing it to individual platforms.

“For me, I felt she was forgetting the fact that… this (brand) is something we both built… and there is a way we should treat it as a business,” he stated.

Trevor also disclosed that Eve suggested buying him out of the brand, a proposal he found infuriating given his integral role in its creation and development.

He dismissed Eve’s offer, questioning her ability to afford a buyout, especially considering the brand’s substantial monthly earnings.

“I wouldn’t even want to hear her offer because I know she cannot afford it. How much would she be willing to pay me for a brand that generates approximately Ksh2 million a month? You cannot buy something from me when you don’t know its value,” Trevor emphasized.

Content creator Mungai Eve and her former partner, Director Trevor (Bonventure Monyancha Kebati), have recently addressed allegations of violence leveled against each other.

In an interview with the Iko Nini Podcast, Director Trevor responded to screenshots circulating online accusing him of assaulting Mungai Eve. Trevor denied the allegations, claiming they were false and alleging that Eve had shared misinformation with Edgar Obare.

Trevor recounted an incident where Eve had attacked him with a cooking stick, causing injury to his face. He emphasized that he did not beat her and suggested that Eve went to Edgar Obare to make him look bad.

“It was just a petty story. It was during those days we were not living together. I was living with my friends as well as Eve, and we would go to our house just to change clothes and all that,” Trevor explained.

Nairobi News reached out to Eve for comment regarding the fight allegations. Eve refuted Trevor’s claims, asserting that he was lying and emphasizing that she would share her side of the story in due course.

“That was self-defense; he was beating me badly; he is lying! I will only share my story when ready, kindly give me time,” she stated.

Trevor and Mungai Eve officially announced their breakup in February 2024, ending their relationship that began in 2023. Eve cited various reasons for the split, noting that it was inevitable and mentioning that there were many issues.

“I was prepared for it; I sensed it was coming. Perhaps he did it to ease his own feelings, I’m not sure,” Eve said on her new YouTube channel when reflecting on her reaction to trending following their separation and Trevor’s statement implying that her services were no longer needed.

Content creator and YouTuber Mungai Eve, who faced public attention following her separation from boyfriend Trevor, recently shared a cryptic message addressing the fallout.

The news of their split intrigued fans, sparking curiosity about the reasons behind it. Despite maintaining a low profile, on February 26, Mungai Eve took to her Instagram Stories to offer a subtle response to the public’s anticipation of her statement.

In a cryptic message, she indirectly conveyed her stance, suggesting that some matters are better left unspoken. She expressed a learning experience about not addressing certain issues online, stating, “As bad as you wanna address it. Some things are better off left unsaid. I’m learning.”

Eve further hinted that she was prioritizing personal growth and moving forward without engaging in public discussions about her relationship. She emphasized living her best life and finding closure without the need for public statements: “Sometimes the only closure you need is closing your mouth, moving on, and living your best life.”

The couple, known for their entertaining and informative content on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram covering lifestyle, fashion, comedy, and social issues, had built a significant fan base over the years. The breakup was announced in February 2024, with director Trevor revealing plans to rebrand the YouTube channel and take over their shared social media pages.

News surrounding the breakup of digital content creator Mungai Eve and her former boyfriend Director Trevor is currently the talk of the local entertainment scene. However, their compelling humble beginnings in content creation, a skill that propelled them to fame in a classic rags-to-riches fashion, are not widely known, at least from Eve’s perspective.

In a July 2022 interview on their now-defunct Mungai Eve YouTube channel, where fellow content creator Celestine Ndinda, also known as ‘Wakavinye,’ played host, Eve recounted the story of how she met Trevor and got inspired to create content.

The journey commenced in September 2019 when Eve, then 20 years old, traveled to Nairobi to attend college in Juja for a journalism course. Director Trevor, a fourth-year student at JKUAT at the time, was instrumental in their connection.

Eve, born and raised in Murang’a, described herself as ambitious and revealed that it was her first time in Nairobi. She had initially come to school, but life took a turn. After studying only the first semester, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, disrupting learning. She returned to Murang’a while Trevor, whom she had met in early 2019 during a photoshoot, went to Kisii.

After a six-month stint at home, Eve returned to Nairobi in September 2020 upon Trevor’s invitation. Trevor, who had secured a job at the national broadcaster, thought it wise for her to join him in the city to figure things out together.

Eve, with a touch of deception, informed her mother that they had been recalled to school. She decided not to return home, expressing her struggles with overthinking and the difficulty of staying idle at home. Trevor, the only person she knew would accommodate her, became her refuge. At the time, they were both in relationships with their high school partners, but it wasn’t making sense.

Eve shared that her father wanted her to pursue teaching, but her heart was in media. Trevor, with his knowledge of media-related aspects, became her guide. They started as good friends, and as both of their relationships became shaky, they found solace in each other.

Trevor noticed Eve’s potential and suggested that she could do something meaningful. Initially hesitant, Eve eventually embraced the idea of opening a YouTube channel, guided by Trevor’s expertise. Despite being camera-shy initially, their first video, covering the Gengetone Festival, marked the beginning of their content creation journey. The video’s success prompted them to ride on the hype surrounding the rap group Mbogi Genje, leading to interviews and content that catapulted them to stardom.

The channel’s name, Mungai Eve, was coined by Trevor, who insisted on it despite Eve’s initial reservations. The rest became history, and by the time of the rebrand, the channel had amassed over 750,000 subscribers.

Following their split, Trevor rebranded the channel to Kenya Online Media and introduced Rael Wangare as Eve’s replacement on Wednesday.

Director Trevor’s YouTube channel, previously known as the ‘Mungai Eve Show’ and now rebranded as ‘Kenya Online Media (KOM),’ has experienced a robust start with the release of more than four videos shortly after the separation and departure of Mungai Eve.

Heading the ‘KOM’ channel, Trevor has formed a new team of reporters, including Captain Nyota, Rael Wangari, and other undisclosed individuals.

In an introductory video, Rael Wangari expressed her enthusiasm for this new chapter in the channel’s journey.

“We are ushering in a new era; what you have known as Mungai Eve Media for so long now has a new identity, Kenya Online Media. That stands as Kenya’s premier online media,” Wangari announced.

The recent videos provide insights into the details of the breakup between the former couple and co-workers, Eve Mungai and Trevor.

Trevor revealed that his romantic relationship with Eve Mungai had ended a year ago, contrary to the public perception of a harmonious romance.

Captain Nyota clarified the situation, stating that they had mutually chosen to keep their breakup confidential and continue working together to safeguard the brand.

“We collaborated professionally last year even after our romantic relationship had concluded. It was only in February this year that we officially decided to go our separate ways,” Trevor disclosed through Nyota.

The separation between Mungai Eve and Director Trevor, a prominent YouTube duo in the digital content creation scene, is capturing attention.

Director Trevor, whose real name is Bonventure Monyancha Kebati, has publicly confirmed the dissolution of their professional partnership. Responding to a fan inquiry about potential future collaborations with Eve, Trevor unequivocally stated that their collaboration had ended, and he no longer required her services.

“Her services are no longer needed,” Trevor wrote in a social media post.

Additionally, Trevor announced the removal of Mungai Eve from their management roles across various online platforms, including the Insta Fame YouTube channel, which boasts over 100,000 subscribers, and a Facebook page with an impressive 847,000 followers.

The “Mungai Eve” YouTube channel, established on January 2, 2020, has garnered a significant following of over 750,000 subscribers, featuring an extensive library of 2,353 videos.

Sources close to the couple revealed to Nairobi News that this recent development follows Trevor moving out of their shared residence in Kileleshwa. While residing in the same house, the source mentioned that the former couple had been occupying separate bedrooms. However, Trevor recently relocated to a rented apartment in Kileleshwa.

“It became evident that the relationship had ended long ago, but they chose to remain silent about it,” disclosed an insider familiar with the situation.

The duo has recently unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed any photos of them together from their respective platforms, sparking further speculation and curiosity among their followers.

Unverified rumors have also circulated indicating that the romantic relationship between the two individuals soured due to alleged infidelity in late 2023.

Mungai Eve is currently vacationing in Dubai as fans eagerly anticipate her response to the ongoing situation. This isn’t the first time the duo has faced breakup rumors. In the past, Mungai Eve stated they would never publicly announce a breakup.

Mungai Eve and Director Trevor, a celebrity couple, are planning a private and luxurious wedding that could take place outside of Kenya.

In an interview with Nairobi News, the YouTuber Mungai Eve described her dream wedding. She said she wants an intimate ceremony with only the people closest to her and who have supported her and Trevor throughout their relationship. She also dreams of saying “I do” in a luxurious setting outside of Kenya.

When asked about the timing of the wedding, Mungai Eve deferred to Trevor, suggesting that the decision is ultimately up to him.

The couple has been together since 2019, and Mungai Eve credits Trevor for his patience and influence on her temperament. She admits to being outspoken and quick to voice her opinions, but Trevor’s calm nature has taught her the value of patience and composure.

“He is very patient with me because I am very outspoken, and sometimes you will find me speaking my mind anywhere,” she said. “He has taught me how to be very patient. I used to be very temperamental, but Trevor has really helped me to be composed.”

Despite the cyberbullying they have faced at times, Mungai Eve insists that the negativity has not affected their relationship. She recalls instances of false rumors, including claims that she was pregnant when she was simply unwell, and acknowledges that these moments have weighed on them.

“The only thing that used to affect our relationship was the trolls, people saying I was pregnant when maybe I was just sick,” she said. “We would be so low knowing that we were fighting something.”

Despite the challenges they have faced, Mungai Eve and Trevor are committed to their relationship and are excited to celebrate their love with a dream wedding.
