Anastacia Mukabwa now Anastacia Kakii remarried in 2022 nearly a decade after she divorced her first husband Mukabwa.
The ‘Kiatu Kivue’ hitmaker married her current husband Maurice William Juma at the Cathedral of Praise Church in Imara Daima in December 2022.
Speaking during a recent interview with a local publisher, the gospel singer narrated how she fell in love again after her first marriage hit rock bottom.
Anastacia said she doubted she would find love again as she was approaching 50.
“Because of my age, now approaching 50 years, I thought I was not gonna find love again, plus the challenges I went through in my first marriage. I did not trust men,” she said.
Anastacia added that she navigated potential relationships with care as different men who were pursuing her had different agendas and motives.
“Some men just wanted to date me for my celebrity status. I had to be very careful about which man I would get married to,” she revealed.
Anastacia ultimately met Maurice William Juma and he checked every box paving way for them to fall in love.
She expressed her gratitude to God for the second chance at love.
“I thank God for a beautiful wedding. God gave me a second chance. He did not give up on me. At His own time, He blessed me with a great husband,” she stated.
Anastacia further shared how she met Maurice, revealing that he had confessed to having a crush on her many years ago.
“I was performing somewhere, and he just admired me,” she recalled.
Their connection, however, deepened during the challenging period of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We dated for three years, but he had seen me many years back. I did not know about him. That was like 20 years ago. He kept following me, and although he was married, his marriage was unstable. He looked for my phone number, and during the Covid-19 period, we started talking. His wife had died by then. We met, and the rest is history. It has been a journey,” Anastacia narrated.
“He prays for me; I can describe him as my supportive system. He is the right man for me. I needed someone like him in my life. He listens to me and walks with me on all journeys,” she added.
