Since the breakup, Trevor has moved on with a new partner, Kikilove Yvone. Earlier this year, he announced that he was taking over the ‘Mungai Eve’ YouTube channel, which he and Eve had built together.

The former couple had established a strong presence in the digital space, attracting a large following with their engaging and relatable content. However, after their split, Trevor opted to rebrand the channel, renaming it ‘Kenya Online Media,’ and brought in a new host to continue producing content.

When asked if Eve would still be involved in their shared platforms, Trevor made it clear that her role had ended. “No! Her services are no longer needed on the following platforms: YouTube – 754K subscribers, Insta Fame – 104K subscribers, Facebook – 874K followers,” he said.

‘Insta Fame,’ which Trevor and Eve launched in October 2020, was initially created to share glimpses of their daily lives with fans. The channel’s description reads: “Hello family, welcome to our little world where we try to share our daily life happenings and connect with our fans. The purpose of this channel is to inspire and testify that nothing is impossible in God’s eyes!”

The channel featured a variety of content, including birthday surprises, gift exchanges, house tours, cooking sessions, pranks, and lighthearted moments between the former couple. One memorable video showcased Eve building a house for her parents in the village.

Despite the channel’s success, Trevor has decided to let go of ‘Insta Fame.’ During a recent fan interaction, he was asked what he planned to do with the channel now that he and Eve were no longer together. Trevor revealed that he is considering giving the channel to an aspiring content creator who could benefit from the platform. His response was simple: “Donate to any content creators interested.”

This decision marks a significant shift from the earlier stage of his career, where he and Eve were seen as a digital power couple, signaling the end of a notable era in their journey.

During his birthday party at a club in Runda, Director Trevor was hounded by paparazzi at the entrance and they had a few questions for him. The club owner who was flanking him, was quick to note that he had spent 450,000 to host the birthday for Trevor. It was a big event which many celebrities like Tumbili and Mulamwah attended.

Trevor was asked about his recent comments regarding female content creators was referring to Mungai Eve

Hiyo nilikuwa namaanisha most female content creators wanasexualize content. Ni vibaya wewe kusexualize content yako yote. Mungai Eve is one of the many content creators tuko nayo Kenya. Siwezi kaa tu hivi nifikirie ati huyo ndio anasexualize content. There are so many people.

The interviewer asked him about how they split up with Eve and Trevor said:

Hakuniruka, mi ndio niliruka. Hakuna vile unaweza unda brand alafu ikuruke. Mi ndio nilijitoa.

In January of 2022, Mungai Eve and Director Trevor were flying high as one of the biggest YouTube channels in Kenya. That is when they jointly bought their first car, a 3 million shilling Toyota Crown.

Since then, unfortunately they had a nasty breakup. Mungai Eve went with the Crown and Trevor was back to using public transport. That state of affairs ended today as Trevor now announced that he had become a member of the Subaru Boys cartel. He is the new owner of a 2020 edition Subaru Legacy

He says that he initially wanted a BMW but his car dealer advised him to get a Subaru because BMWs are tougher to maintain. From my personal experience, Subarus are not that good in the maintenance department either, but congrats to Trevor nonetheless for moving on from his vehicular setback.

Once again, Director Trevor has faced questions from fans eager to know more about his breakup with Mungai Eve, which ended earlier this year after six years together.

During a Q&A session on Instagram, the founder and owner of the KOM blog answered numerous questions surrounding the breakup. Fans were particularly curious about why he left the relationship with Mungai Eve, leaving behind almost everything they had built together, except for the YouTube channel, Facebook account, and a few other small items.

“To be honest, should I have taken a cooking pot?” Trevor responded humorously to one fan who wondered why he didn’t take any household items.

He then provided a detailed explanation about leaving with almost nothing, emphasizing the importance of starting fresh after a relationship.

According to Trevor, beginning anew after a breakup offers a valuable opportunity to heal emotionally, rebuild, and grow intellectually.

“Having a new beginning after a breakup is an important step in healing your emotions, personal growth, gaining clarity, rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries, and even opening up to new opportunities,” Trevor explained.

“This will also help you move on quickly from past pain and focus on your life, ensuring you learn from your past and embrace a positive future,” he added.

Trevor and Eve broke up in February this year after dating for nearly six years.

Trevor’s statement comes just a few days after Mungai Eve was seen wearing a white t-shirt with the words “my ex is my biggest fan” printed on the chest. However, it was unclear whether she wore the t-shirt with that message intentionally or if it was just a coincidence. It was also not immediately clear which ex the message was referring to, though many felt it was directly aimed at Trevor.

Former power couple Mungai Eve and Director Trevor are back bickering about their now-ended relationship. It all started when Mungai Eve posted herself on Instagram with a shirt saying

“MY EX IS MY BIGGEST FAN”

Trevor then took to Instagram to do a Q&A, where fans grilled him about his breakup with Mungai Eve after nearly six years together. The focus was on why he ended the relationship and gave her most of what they built as a couple, including the KOM blog itself. He kept the YouTube channel, Facebook account, and a few other minor assets.

“Having a new beginning after a breakup is an important step in healing your emotions, personal growth, gaining clarity, rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries, and even opening up to new opportunities,”

“This will also help you move on quickly from past pain and focus on your life, ensuring you learn from your past and embrace a positive future,”

Was his response.

The two have gone their separate ways but unfortunately it appears both their channels are now struggling to get views. According to the YouTube analysis website SocialBlade, both their channels nowadays struggle to get more than 1 million views a month, whereas when they were together they sometimes would clock 20million views in a month. Success is indeed a fragile thing and any changes to a succesful recipe could result in the whole structure collapsing.

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.
