THE New Year is finally here and while some are still trying to decipher how it will unfold – for radio personality, Samantha Musa aka Misred, 2017 will see her turn a new leaf as she walks into the world of marrieds.
| Yes, you read correctly, Misred will be tying-the-knot soon. She is officially off the market. |
The vivacious media personality has over the years managed to keep her love life a secret, although, speculation as to who she could be dating was the order of the day.
After The Sunday Mail Leisure spotted the expensive rock on her ring finger, we knew something was brewing and she confirmed it.
“God blessed me with a good friend more than five years ago and we have been at it ever since then,” said Misred, confirming her plans to wed her lover.
“We were together before I got into the media space so he knows me very well away from the ‘Misred persona’.
“I have always kept a low profile about my relationship because it’s a very private thing for me.
“He never chose to be in the public eye and I want to respect that,” she added.
Despite all our efforts to have her tell us who the mystery man is, she refused to budge and said she would only reveal his identity when the time is right.
Having gotten engaged in 2016, Misred confirmed a wedding is on the way early this year.
“Preparations for the wedding slated for early 2017 are already underway and we will reveal more details as the day draws closer. Let me hasten to say that marriage is not something I was rushing for, so best believe this decision took a lot of thought.
“I always tell him I’m very lucky because I found a patient, kind, and loving man in him. He has been supportive throughout. Like any normal couple we go through our fair share of drama but our hearts always lead right back to each other.”
As if the marriage and wedding bit is not enough, the philanthropist who is working on the #HalfAMillionPads (providing sanitary pads to less privileged girls) initiative with GirlsRUS, is also expecting a baby.
“Being pregnant comes with a lot of emotions, I’m scared but excited at the same time because it’s a huge blessing that can never be taken for granted.
“On the other hand, it’s really long overdue because my daughter who is seven years now has really been on my case about a little sibling. So not only will the child be a blessing to me and my partner, but to my family as a whole.”
Misred also spoke about how she has managed to keep the long distance relationship going.
“I think it’s really been him. He is the glue that makes it stick together. Everyone in my circles knows I stay away from talking relationships in public but he is really a patient, loving caring individual who has helped build me as an individual and as a partner.
“Yes, he is based outside the country, but I tell you when things are in sync, no place is too far for any relationship. We make time, he comes here, I go there but I always emphasise, making time is important.”
Misred also revealed that being a media personality has its own fair of challenges as she is exposed to different men with other agendas besides the business of the day.
“When I’m out there and working I stick to the core business, of course, you do encounter different individuals but I really think in life when your head is in the right place, everything else becomes irrelevant.”
