Lydia Wanjiru Opens Up on Breakup, Cheating, and Charging for Infidelity

In a candid interview with Morin Actress, Lydia Wanjiru shared details about her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Doso, revealing how a whirlwind romance turned into a quiet breakup after six months.

“We met at a birthday party while he was in Nairobi looking for car spare parts,” Lydia recalled. “Soon after, we started dating, and he began posting about me. That’s when I started trending in Kisumu.”

Despite the challenges of long distance, the couple made efforts to see each other twice a month. However, Lydia now reflects that taking the relationship public was a misstep.

“People talked about us so much, I felt pressure to post about it. I had never posted someone I was dating before—and looking back, I shouldn’t have.”

Eventually, the relationship ended quietly.

“He apologized, but some things are just hard to forgive,” she said.

Charging for Cheating

Now in a more self-assured place, Lydia made it clear that forgiveness comes at a cost.

“I can’t forgive cheating easily, but if I do, you’ll have to pay for it,” she said. “At this point in my life, I might consider forgiving infidelity—but only if you’re willing to face the consequences. If you’re ready to pay, then I’ll set the terms.”

Lydia questioned why so many people stay in toxic relationships that don’t even improve their lives.

“How many people are cheated on and still can’t afford to get their hair done or go out with friends? If you’re going to stay in a cheating relationship, make it worth your while. Me? I’ll charge you if I stay. But let’s be clear—not all men cheat.”

On Cheating Back and “Exploring Options”

Lydia also revisited her past advice to women on cheating back when dealing with unfaithful partners. She drew a line between dating and marriage, saying that until traditional rites like dowry are done, women are free to explore.

“Welcome to 2025. Everyone is allowed to cheat. Men have children outside their relationships and come back crying—but they never change.”

She elaborated:

“Cheating while dating is just part of finding the right person. You’re not married—there’s no dowry paid—so you have the right to look around. Men do it every day.”

Blunt, unfiltered, and unapologetic, Lydia Wanjiru continues to challenge conventional dating norms, sparking bold conversations about love, loyalty, and self-worth.
