Kenyan comedian Abel Mutua and his wife, Judy Nyawira, recently opened up about their relationship in an honest and heartfelt conversation. The couple, known for their close bond and admired by many as a model relationship, tackled some of the more difficult questions about love, separation, and whether they would consider marrying again if their relationship ended.
In a candid discussion featured on Judy’s YouTube channel, the couple addressed several questions from fans. Judy described Abel as the love of her life and reflected on the journey they’ve shared, noting how long they’ve been together and the depth of their bond. She jokingly questioned what title she would give him if they grew old together—whether he’d still be referred to as “the husband of her youth.”
One of the standout moments came when Abel asked Judy if she would remarry in the event of their separation. After a brief pause, she admitted that while it wouldn’t be immediate, she would eventually be open to the idea. Judy emphasized the importance of healing and ensuring she would not project unresolved emotions from their relationship onto someone new. Her response revealed a thoughtful approach to moving on, showing her belief in love while also acknowledging the need for emotional maturity.
Abel, on the other hand, expressed a very different outlook. He admitted he likely wouldn’t be willing to go down the marriage path again. With a touch of humor, he mentioned he would probably live a solo life, referencing his friend who lives independently. He spoke about how, growing up, he believed that marriage was unbreakable—a lifelong bond that wouldn’t be dissolved. However, his perspective has evolved over time, especially after witnessing the struggles and breakups of close friends.
He likened marriage to betting, suggesting that both involve significant risk. “Out of ten friends,” he said, “how many are still together?” He acknowledged that marriage is a complicated institution with many moving parts, and maintaining it requires more than just love—it takes work, compromise, and resilience. His view pointed to the realistic challenges couples face, contrasting the idealistic notion he once held.
Their conversation also touched on a story from their past, where Judy once lent Abel money for a shoot without even knowing he was acting. This gesture left a lasting impression on Abel, showing him that her love for him wasn’t based on fame or success, but rather genuine affection and belief in his potential.
Together, their reflections painted a picture of a couple who are not only in love but also grounded in reality. They understand that relationships are not perfect and are willing to face tough questions with honesty. Their transparency offers insight into what it takes to sustain a long-term partnership in today’s world—love, communication, growth, and above all, a deep respect for each other’s individuality and journey.
