Mukami, a law student and influencer, shared clips of the evening on Instagram, showing the pair enjoying laughter, lighthearted competition, and quality time together. One video captured Phil confidently taking a bowling shot, while another revealed the results, with Mukami teasingly captioning,
“Let it be known that I let you win.”
The couple was also seen clinking glasses of white wine, their hands intertwined — a sweet moment reflecting a genuine connection and growing affection.
