Murugi Munyi’s Anniversary: Reflecting on Their Journey Together

Murugi Munyi and her husband, Zach, are celebrating eight years of marriage, and the mother of three couldn’t be happier.

Sharing her excitement on Instagram, the TMI podcast co-host posted a nostalgic throwback photo from their wedding night, marveling at how fast time has passed.

Murugi recalled that she was pregnant when they got married, which made the day even more exhausting for her. While she was thrilled to be tying the knot, she noted that few people talk about how truly draining weddings can be.

“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 expressed deep appreciation for Zach, calling him her anchor and strength. She reaffirmed her love, emphasizing that she would choose him over and over again.

“Happy 8th anniversary, my love Munyi, my Rhino, my King. In this life and the next, I choose you.”

On Instagram Stories, she shared a fun clip of herself shopping for an anniversary gift for Zach at a high-end Nairobi store known for luxury fashion. She humorously admitted being tempted to treat herself as well, noting that retail therapy is always a mood booster—especially after eight years of marriage.

Navigating Marriage and Past Controversies

Murugi and Zach share two daughters, while she also has a son from a previous relationship.

In 2022, their marriage faced public scrutiny following allegations of infidelity. A US-based Kenyan woman, Nurse Judy, claimed to have had a romantic relationship with Zach while he was still married to Murugi. The controversy made headlines for weeks, with further speculation that Murugi had also been unfaithful.

Speaking about the situation in an interview with Lynn Ngugi, Murugi dismissed the claims, urging people to stop obsessing over 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 firm 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.”
