Businesswoman and content creator Murugi Munyi, in a recent interview with Fashionable Step Mum, Murugi shared insights into her blended family and her journey to finding love again.
The YouTuber shares a son with her ex. And she praised her ex for his maturity and cooperation in raising their son after their split.
She explained that being a single mom led her to pray for a new partner who did not have children, a wish fulfilled when she met her current husband, Zach.
“I do believe that God gives a specific kind of grace to people who are stepmoms and stepdads,” she said.
Murugi Munyi on not Wanting Stepkids
Murugi elaborated on her preference for a partner without children.
“When I was a single mum and looking for a partner, I told God I really would love to meet a partner who does not have children. Because I don’t think I have the grace to be a stepmum,” she confessed.
Fashionable Step Mum pointed out Murugi’s current family arrangement, prompting further explanation. “I already know the complexities on my end. I don’t want to double the complexities. There is that family, then our family… no.”
She praised her husband’s calm nature, noting how well he adapts to situations.
“Anyone who meets him can just tell he has this very calm, composed disposition. He is not an overthinker, he is not like a super intense person, I am,” she said.
Murugi reiterated her belief that she was not suited to be a stepmom.
“I can’t imagine myself in a step-mum situation. I was like, ‘God, you have not put that particular blessing in me. So let me not be one.’ And I’m so glad that my partner didn’t have children, and I’m happy about that,” she remarked.
Murugi and Zach met in 2016 and have since married, welcoming two daughters into their family.
