Nick Ndeda, boyfriend to media personality and business woman Betty Kyallo, has opened up on their relationship going public.
According to the lawyer, they had not planned to make their relationship public.
Nick said that they were just forced to go public after being exposed by controversial blogger Edgar Obare.
“We were definitely coerced, we had agreed we never wanted to go public. We would be seen here and there.. which is fine, like any other couple you would do things together, go out…shopping…lunch…dinner, but we never wanted to come out and say we are an item, it was never our intention,” Nick said in a recent interview.
After being exposed, Nick said that that did not change how they interacted.
“When that happened…we didn’t change how we interacted, once the spotlight starts shining on you it never stops. It did not stop for a long time…every time we do everything all eyes will be there,” he stated.
The trend went only for a few weeks before Kenyans shifted their attention elsewhere.
“I think Kenyans just get bored, something happens they forget. At some point we got the normalcy back,” Nick said.
He said that they were a center of attention since Betty is a a celebrity, adding that such things hindered celebrity relationships enough time to grow and develop a stron foundation.
“Relationships take time to grow to a point where you are OK with the public, but Kenyans don’t allow relationships to evolve through normal stages of the relationship. It may work or not…so you need privacy to navigate preliminary stages,” Nick explained.
Aside from that, he said that he wishes to join politics so that he could change people’s lives.
“I wouldn’t say I am passionate about politics, I am passionate about leadership and good governance, I have Nick Ndeda foundation but if you want to make an impactful and significant change, either you need a lot of money or power,” he said.
