"I Saw a Home": Alex Mwakideu Marks 11 Years of Marriage to Mariamu

Celebrated radio presenter Alex Mwakideu is marking a major milestone in his personal life as he celebrates 11 years of marriage with his wife, Mariamu, a journey he says has been rooted in love, friendship and faith.

In an emotional message shared to commemorate the anniversary, Mwakideu reflected not only on their 11 years as husband and wife, but also on the 19 years since the day they first met. He described their meeting as a defining moment, saying he immediately envisioned a future built on companionship, stability and shared purpose.

"11 years since we officially became husband and wife.
19 years since the day I first met you.
God knows I would not have chosen anyone else to do this life with," he said

According to the broadcaster, from the very beginning he saw more than romance. He saw a friend, a confidant and a safe home, and envisioned Mariamu as his life partner and the mother of his children. Nearly two decades later, he says he remains proud of that choice and grateful for the life they have built together.

"From the moment I saw you, I saw us.
I saw a friend.
I saw a confidant.
I saw love, stability, and a safe home.
I saw the mother of my children.
I saw my wife — my lifetime partner.
Nineteen years later, I am still endlessly proud of that choice."

Mwakideu went on to praise his wife for standing by him through every season of life. In a touching tribute, he acknowledged her unwavering support during both difficult and joyful moments, describing her as his pillar, his blessing and his home.

"Wewe Mariamu wangu, umekuwa nami wakati wa dhoruba na kiangazi, wakati wa dhiki na faraja. Haujawahi kutikisika, mpenzi wangu. Umekuwa nguzo yangu, baraka yangu, na nyumbani kwangu.

"Today, as we celebrate 11 years of marriage, I celebrate you, my wife. I thank God for this precious gift, because I prayed and He answered."

"Mungu Baba, itunze ndoa yetu. Leo, kesho, na hata milele."

As they mark 11 years of marriage, the veteran radio host expressed deep gratitude to God, noting that their union is an answered prayer. He concluded his message with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to continue protecting and sustaining their marriage today, tomorrow and forever.

The post was met with warm reactions from fans and fellow media personalities, many of whom congratulated the couple and celebrated the enduring love and commitment they continue to model publicly.
