Kenyan media personality Mary Kilobi Atwoli has been living a life of luxury since her marriage to trade unionist Francis Atwoli in October 2018. The couple's 36-year age gap has been a subject of public discussion, with some critics initially questioning the relationship.
However, Atwoli has maintained that age is not a barrier in their relationship, stating in a previous interview, 'AGE DOES NOT MATTER. THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. KAZI BADO NAFANYA MBAYA SANA. KATIBA BADO NASOMA (I AM STILL DOING A THOROUGH JOB. I AM STILL READING THE CONSTITUTION)'.
Recently, KTN's Sophia Wanuna visited Atwoli's home in Kajiado, and Mary shared photos of their encounter on social media. The photos showed a white woman believed to be the couple's employee washing their hands before they ate, sparking a mix of reactions from Kenyans.
Some of the reactions included 'You were such a gracious host my love @mkilobi … Your gorgeous palace is blessed ❤️' from Sophia Wanuna and 'Lanes! Mbochi mzunye🙆' from malagho. Others questioned whether the couple's home was a hotel, with sheemurage commenting, 'I thought it’s a hotel… Yani no home?? God, where is my Atwoli😝😝😝😝'.
