Acting sensation and film producer Nick Mutuma has spoken candidly about his six-year relationship with actress and fashion designer Bridget Shighadi.
With their daughter Dua, born two years ago, the couple has been able to navigate their relationship more smoothly, despite experiencing some breakups over the years.
During one of their breakups, Mutuma briefly dated radio presenter-turned-musician Tanasha Donna, but their relationship didn't last.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought them closer together, allowing them to spend quality time and explore each other's interests.
'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 on June 23, 2020.
Looking back, Mutuma revealed that he got into acting by accident, motivated by a Sh3,000 payment for an audition.
He recounted, 'I started my career 10 years ago. Someone noticed me on the streets and told me I got what it takes to be an actor and model. He asked me to go for some sort of an audition. He gave me a G4S uniform and a rungu and asked me to wear it.'
