Renowned businesswoman and founder of Virtuous Women, Sarah Kabu, recently opened up about her love life, revealing her past relationship with Simon Kabu and her quest for a perfect partner.
Speaking candidly during an interview with Dr. Ofweneke, Sarah shared stories of her dating journey, lessons learned, and her vision for love in the future.
Sarah Kabu Profile Dating History
Sarah Kabu hasn’t exactly kept it low-key when it comes to her past relationships. Her dating roster has included men in prestigious professions such as architects, pilots, and even a billionaire. Yet, despite their impressive resumes, they fell short in one key area: readiness for marriage.
“I was seriously looking for a husband, but they weren’t ready to be husbands. They were interesting people. I dated a pilot, an IT professional, an architect… even a billionaire. But those high-profile men just wanted fun. They weren’t ready for the commitment I wanted,” Sarah shared.
Her conclusion? Status and wealth weren’t enough. What she needed was someone simple, grounded, and ready to build a future.
Rethinking Her Approach to Love
Reflecting on her dating experiences, Sarah admitted that looks and prestige were never her priority.
“I used to fear handsome men because you know, every girl wants him. I didn’t care about looks. I just wanted someone who truly loved me—someone without a chain of women following him around,” she said.
This mindset led her to her ex-partner, Simon Kabu. The two shared a mutual hunger for success, building the highly successful Bonfire Adventures together. However, Sarah confessed that loving too deeply and trusting too much became her Achilles’ heel.
“I loved too much, and I trusted too much. Coming from a family background where honesty and trust are core, I assumed my partner would be the same,” she said, reflecting on the lessons learned from her past relationship.
What Sarah Wants in Her Next Partner
Now older, wiser, and with clearer priorities, Sarah is taking a more deliberate approach to love. She’s gone on a few dates—complete with laughter-filled evenings—and is optimistic about the possibility of finding love again.
“I want someone who’s tall, dark, and handsome. But that’s just the surface. He must be intelligent, preferably with a master’s degree or higher. I want someone charming, who can make intelligent jokes—I can’t do dull moments. And most importantly, he has to be God-fearing, the priest of the house,” Sarah declared.
While money isn’t a dealbreaker, she made it clear that she’s looking for authenticity.
“Money? We can look for that together. I want an authentic Kenyan love,” she added.
Looking Ahead
Despite her past heartbreaks, Sarah remains hopeful about love. She believes in redefining marriage beyond one person’s experience and is open to creating new memories and finding a second chance at happiness.
“Those men I saw in Santorini and Maldives—how they relate, the chemistry—I want that. I’m open, but not to Gen Z. Millennials and above, please!” she quipped.
With her standards firmly set and her heart open to the possibilities, Sarah Mtalii is ready to embrace love again—this time, on her own terms.
