Kenyan content creator Georgina Njenga says her outlook on relationships has shifted in recent years, revealing that she now finds herself drawn to men who already have children.

Speaking in an interview with media personality Oga Obinna on Tuesday, Ms Njenga said the change reflects her own growth and the realities of life as a parent.

“Not saying I cannot date people around my age group,” she said during the conversation. “But they have to be mature. Some people mature faster.”

For the influencer, maturity has become the defining quality in a partner.

A shift in priorities

Ms Njenga explained that her preferences have evolved over time. Earlier in her life, she was drawn to the traditional idea of “tall, dark and handsome”. Today, she says she looks for something deeper.

“Initially it was tall, dark and handsome,” she said. “My type has changed with time.”

Her experiences as a mother, she added, have shaped how she views relationships. Dating someone who already has children, she said, often means that person understands responsibility and the challenges of parenting.

Those shared experiences can make it easier to relate to one another, she said.

Clearing up rumours

The remarks come shortly after speculation about her relationship with her former partner, Tyler Mbaya. The two recently posted a video dancing together online, prompting some fans to wonder whether they had rekindled their romance.

Ms Njenga moved quickly to dismiss the idea.

“We are just co-parenting,” she said, stressing that the video did not signal a reunion.

Focus on parenting

Despite the public attention around her personal life, Ms Njenga said her main focus remains raising her child and maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship.

Her comments also underline a broader point: that age alone does not determine compatibility.

She said she remains open to dating people in her own age group, provided they show the maturity and understanding she now values most.

For Ms Njenga, the shift reflects what she describes as personal growth — and a clearer sense of the kind of partnership she hopes to build.
