Eric Wainaina and Valerie Kimani during a rehersal session
We not long ago experienced what for lack of words we say was exhilarating and very successful, and the only one of a kind musical in Kenya; the Mo Faya Musical. From the start to the end, it kept on delivering to the promise it made during the run of it’s promos and ads.
Sadly, not the same nice words can explain or be said about the so lovely couple of Eric Wainaina and Sheba Hirst, who were the executive brains behind the exquisite execution of the Mo Faya Musical.
This couple has for a very long time presented the face of a happily married couple. If you didn’t know, then shock on you! Sheba is said to have packed and moved out of their matrimonial home and is now living at her parents’ home. It’s not yet clear how long it’s been since she left.
However, their families have engaged in ventures to help the couple resolve their differences, and there is hope to reunite them soon. Simon Wainaina, Eric’s only sibling, best man and manager said, “There have been serious family interventions from both sides to try and salvage this union and safeguard the interest of the children already born.” Eric and Sheba have two lovely daughters a four year-old and a two months old baby.
It’s emerged that it all started during the rehearsals of the musical, and the run-offs in New York. Reports are that the show’s leading actors, Eric Wainaina and Valery Kimani went off the script and got romantically involved.
Just when we thought the dust is finally settling down, Valerie confirmed that she is two months pregnant. She said that “am looking forward to being a happy mum. I’m not hiding that I’m pregnant. I’m in my first trimester.”
The drama was even beefed up when she could not open up to talk about her baby’s daddy. She said “I’m not interested in discussing my bedroom issues in public.” Damn! Can things get worse than this?
Nevertheless, she is not about to cool down her music plans. “The pregnancy fits in perfectly with my plan to hit the studio and record my second album to be released by Gallo Records.”
She still got it, but most of us know that she’s been struggling to get to the mainstream of the music scene. Good thing is that she knows it, so am not beefing! She said, “I don’t mind that people will be looking at me funny. They have been ever since l won the TPF.”
