Cynthia Nyamai marriage lead to a divorce due to her several cheating escapades, as her former husband exposed in a recent interview.  Her ex husband David Makuyu has a very good advice to men getting married, he encourages anyone who wants to get marriage to wait for it to happen as opposed to looking for a spouse.

David Makuyu who was once married to Cynthia Nyamai one of the most accomplished business anchors in Kenya at some point, yesterday spilled the beans on what used to be their marriage and what led to their separation.

Most will remember Cynthia signed off on her reports with the Makuyu surname then reverted to Nyamai, a move that left many speculating about her marriage.

Their story was shrouded in mystery until Cynthia got featured on the Drum Magazine and made the cover in an interview where she also dished on her failed marriage.

Speaking to K24's Jamila Mbugua on Faraja, Cynthia’s former husband gave his side of the story dispelling his ex wife’s version that says he was a violent man and had been known to be so with other women as well. Mr Makuyu started out boldly explaining how their marriage fell apart after only two years.

It all started six years ago when a friend of his introduced him to Cynthia and after dating for one and a half years, the two tied the knot. Mr Makuyu was 31 at the time and reveals that he had second thoughts a week before their wedding, his gut feeling told him that this was not right. He says friends came to him asking him whether he was certain he wanted to marry Cynthia. He however rubbished this as the jitters any man gets before getting hitched.

He says Cynthia came of as a Godly lady as she was singing in the choir at the time, she read the bible and was respective to the parents. He however admits that this was his first mistake, trusting too much. “I am naturally a trusting individual” this he says was his main undoing.

There were red flags along the way during the dating period but Makuyu says he found it hard to accept. Even though he knew there was something wrong he went on with it, “I knew there was something very wrong, it was a buildup of things, people from her campus and church also came to ask me if I really wanted to get married to her”.

“They told me about the type of relationships she had been in before and about her character”, according to him , it so happens that all Cynthia’s former boyfriends were rich people and her relationships were short lived.

He says that Cynthia did admit to having those type of relationships back in the day but that was in the past and he believed her. This gave him impetus to put a ring on her finger. “However three months into the marriage , I noticed things were not going according to plan”

Mr Makuyu says, Cynthia would come home in the evening and tell him about this individual, a commercial director at her work place, and she would talk about him alot. The same individual kept popping up in her diary of the day, “At one point I started getting uncomfortable and I raised the issue with her”, she assured him it was all work and there was nothing more between them.

The estranged Makuyu says , “people would come and tell me stories and tell me that they had seen my wife with people at social establishments with certain individuals”. At the time , he says he couldn’t take action as he didn’t have concrete evidence incriminating his wife.

The evidence however came two years later when one day he went through her texts for the first time. He says Cynthia always had her phone with her and never left it around. “She carried her phone with her to the bathroom and shower, it was like the second hand” On this particular morning, she however left her it charging and I got a chance to browse through".

He described the time before his discovery,  saying Cynthia had been on assignment out of Nairobi for about five days, when she came back that’s when he got an opportunity to go through it. “The messages I found , between her and that other individual who was at a hotel out of Nairobi were devastating for me, I was totally destroyed”.

Instead of a knee jerk reaction following this discovery, he decided to tackle the matter after calming down. Asked why he didn’t take action even with such evidence, “ When these things happen you can see but you are not too sure, you don’t want to believe the worst”.

The two discussed every time there was a situation of Cynthia with a man and Makuyu would give his stand as her husband, “but another cheating case would comes up and with different individual” His trust level he says were destroyed by now even though he wanted to still try to make things work.

She however came clean one day and admitted to have been unfaithful. That was after her husband did an independent investigation and got to learn who the individuals and what their names were and confronted her about them. They agreed to go for counseling but he decided to take her back midway.

During the counseling, he found out about another individual who was a lawyer. When he confronted her about it she said it was in the past. Other people also came out with physical evidence and were willing to testify in court if need be.

After only two years of marriage he filed for legal separation and that brought the curtains down on the marriage of Cynthia Makuyu and David Makuyu. 

According to him Cynthia described him as a violent man in her interview with a local magazine. He says he never did once cheat on his wife and encourages anyone who wants to get marriage to wait for it to happen as opposed to looking for a spouse.
