Published on June 23, 2020, Nick Mutuma, a renowned actor and film producer, has shared his experiences in a long-term relationship with actress and fashion designer Bridget Shighadi.
The couple has been together for six years, experiencing breakups and reconnections over the period. However, with the arrival of their daughter Dua two years ago, their relationship has become healthier and more stable.
During one of their breakups, Mutuma briefly dated radio presenter-turned-musician Tanasha Donna, but their relationship did not last.
With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing people to stay at home, Mutuma says the situation has brought him and Shighadi closer together, allowing them to explore each other's interests and deepen their understanding and respect for one another.
"This time has brought us closer. Bridget is doing well. You can live with somebody but because of work, friendship becomes systematic. You go to work, come home, have the same conversation. But now you get to explore one another and understand one another, respect one another a lot more. It's been awesome," Mutuma said in an interview with K24.
Looking back on his acting career, Mutuma revealed that he got into acting by accident, motivated by a Sh3,000 payment for an audition. He has since become a successful actor and film producer, with a current focus on film production.
Mutuma is currently working on a teen's production series, while Shighadi stars in the TV drama series Maria.
