Former Tahidi High actress Gloria Moraa has spoken out on how the aftermath of the death of her baby daddy former Kenya rugby coach Benjamin Ayimba, affected her.
In a recent interview, Moraa explained the fallout she had had to endure after Ayimba’s death a few weeks ago. Moraa explained that she had met Ayimba weeks after she divorced her first husband of seven years.
She went on to add that they fell in love, living together for eight years before they separated in 2018 after getting two kids together.
“I met Ayimba when I’d just gone through a divorce. He made advances and I initially refused. I thought I was his second wife but it turned out I was wife number three. He has about ten children. Our love was okay but we had several challenges and after eight years, around 2018, we went separate ways,” Moraa said.
What would ensue was a bitter custody battle between the two that would set her on a head-onscollision course with Ayimba’s family.

The actress disclosed that she had been barred from attending the funeral of the veteran coach.
“There were 30 policemen at the compound (during the burial). They asked me what I was doing there. I said I had brought my kids to say bye to their dad. You know my kids had kept on asking me if we will be going to church to see daddy.
“After push and shove at the gate, the cops allowed us in. I went to the tent, I was too weak at the time because it was an emotional event. I couldn’t even mourn him. Some people were saying I was the one who killed him. The police were told I was coming to cause chaos, yet there was no money to fight for,” she said.
She said that she regretted that Ayimba’s family did not support her, also barring her from visiting the graveside.
“I have been to that place (Ayimba’s home) three times before (the burial). His mom and dad did not say anything (yet they saw what I went through). I have lived with these people for a long time and even lived with one of Ayimba’s kids for eight years yet they didn’t defend me,” she said.
Adding,
“I was barred from the graveside during the burial. We wanted to take photos at the grave after he’d been laid to rest but my kids were initially barred. Ayimba’s sister called my kids Chokoras (street children) and ‘mistakes’. She abused me so much. But I have forgiven her.”
