Media personality Betty Kyallo, 35, is happily dating a younger man, 14 years her junior, identified as Charlie ‘Mny’ Jones, 21.
And lest we forget that they are a couple, Charlie is quick to possessively comment on her pics with comments such as “I’d hit.” How classy, considering everyone knows they probably get it on as a couple.
Anyway, who knows how long this show will last? These days, relationships do not seem to last as long as they did in the past.
Here are six reasons why Betty Kyalo’s relationship with Charlie Jones will end in premium tears.
1. Finances: Wealth is quiet, rich is loud, and poor is flashy. For Charlie, it seems to be the latter. Because why on earth did the 21-year-old flaunt fake Balenciaga kicks they got to match? He was exposed on BNN Premium.
Remember the popular politician who allegedly caused the end of her marriage? And who gifted her a car and paid all her bills for a year after they broke up, and then repossessed the car leaving her stranded in the middle of the road? Now, compare that to this one buying her shoes, and fake ones to boot!
The 21-year-old may have gifted Betty Kyallo a 77 inches TV for mother’s day, but besides the inches, can he keep up the type of treatment she is used to from her past relationsips?
2. Can Betty Kyallo keep up? She herself has described her boyfriend as “younger and way too cool.” While she is busy with her TV career, he is effortlessly staying on top of new music and the latest slang. The unlikely couple has also been spotted clubbing several times. And at his age, hangovers are not nearly as bad as they are later in life. So, can she keep up with his younger, more carefree lifestyle?
3. She will get bored. Women like Betty probably weighed the relationship before it started and saw that the controversy would make her more popular. Betty is used to being a hot topic. And she figured a man younger than her would be the perfect one to get tongues wagging. She has even adapted a new “type shii” slang. Mark you, it will get boring, and she will move on to whomever she deems fit enough to be seen with. It is like she is always chasing a new relationship high.
4. She does not stay single long: When Betty Kyallo separated from her ex-hubby Dennis Okari, she got into a relationship with then Mombasa Governor Joho. She has also dated city lawyer Nick Ndeda. And being in the limelight, she probably has a lot of people wanting to get together with her.
How to put it? It is not that she can not be single and take time to heal. It is that she probably will not because of the grass always appearing greener on the other side. So in case there is an argument and words like “I need space” are thrown around, Betty may get snatched faster than you can say ‘ben 10.’ Tihihi.
5. Kids: Betty Kyallo has a daughter. The younger man, on the other hand, does not. What happens when the “type shii” guy decides he wants to settle down and have a family? Will Betty Kyallo agree to stay at home with a big belly and change dirty diapers (been there, done that), or will she be chasing her media career, which she just got back into, by the way, after her Kilimani FlairbyBetty salon flopped? Hmmm, this remains to be seen.
6. The Media: Betty Kyallo in the public eye and her relationship with the younger boy will undergo serious media scrutiny. One slip-up and the whole union is done. Charlie definitely has girls closer to his age in his corner, and so does Betty have men near her own age in her corner making big moves. So can she keep her eyes fixed on her boyfriend as he figures out the ways of the world, such as not posting fake shoes?
Remember, the eyes for tea are everywhere, and any one mistake on either side will be exposed. Tongues will wag and truths will be unearthed. For a couple like this, who have put out so much of their relationship in the public, it rarely ends too well.
