Robert Burale’s Ex-Wife Spills All The Tea – “I Found Gay Porn on His Laptop, Another Woman Paid For Our Honeymoon!

Gospel singer Rozina Mwakideu breaks her silence on the “darkest period” of her life, exposing shocking secrets about her failed marriage to the celebrated motivational speaker

Twelve years of silence have finally been shattered, and honey, the revelations are more scandalous than a Nairobi housewife’s WhatsApp group chat at 2 AM!

Gospel artiste Rozina Mwakideu, sister to popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu, has finally pulled back the curtain on her tumultuous one-year marriage to renowned life coach and pastor Robert Burale.

And let me tell you, this tea is piping hot enough to burn through your Sunday best!

Speaking candidly to her brother on Radio47, the usually private Rozina didn’t hold back, declaring without hesitation: “My biggest mistake in life was marrying Robert Burale, na siyo kwa ubaya!” She added with a chuckle that barely masked years of pain, “And the darkest period in my life was when I was with Robert Burale.”

But that’s just the appetizer. The main course? Well, buckle up, because this story has more twists than a Nairobi matatu route.

The Red Flags Were Flying Higher Than KICC

It all started innocently enough at the end of 2011 when Rozina, then living in Mombasa, met the smooth-talking preacher who would soon become her worst nightmare dressed in a pastor’s collar.

But before you could say “I do,” the red flags started appearing faster than hawkers on Moi Avenue.

The first shocker?

Burale had the audacity to ask his new girlfriend for a whopping Ksh 250,000! Yes, you read that right. Quarter of a million shillings! His sob story? Something about his father’s estate and an expensive lawyer. “I believe anyone who asks for money after meeting someone is a huge red flag, regardless of gender,” Rozina now reflects, probably wishing she’d listened to her own gut back then.

But wait, it gets juicier than a Nairobi gossip column on a Monday morning.

The Karen Captivity: One Month of “Celibacy” and Control

When Rozina told Burale she was coming to Nairobi to visit her brother Alex, the preacher had other plans.

Instead of dropping her at her brother’s place like a normal boyfriend would, he whisked her away to his family home in Karen.

What was supposed to be a brief visit turned into a month-long stay that sounds more like a gilded cage than a romantic getaway.

“We stayed together in one room, but nothing happened between us. We were both celibate. We slept in the same bed, and we stayed there for almost a month without anything happening,” Rozina revealed, probably still wondering how she didn’t see the forest for the trees.

But here’s where it gets creepy, fam.

Burale apparently didn’t want his new catch going anywhere. “Hakuwa anataka nitoke pale kwao. It is like he wanted me to be within his sight at all times. There is a day I decided to escape literally. Unfortunately, he knew about the plan and blocked it. He never wanted me to interact with my friends, family and all. It is like I was in prison.”

Prison in Karen? Now that’s a plot twist even Citizen TV wouldn’t dream up!

The Facebook Prophets Tried to Warn Her

While Rozina was busy ignoring every red flag in the book, complete strangers on Facebook were sliding into her DMs like concerned aunties at a wedding.

Women who apparently knew Burale were sending her warning messages, cautioning her about the man she was dating.

When she confronted him, he dismissed them as jealous haters. Classic deflection move, straight from the playbook of every smooth-talking charmer who’s ever walked the streets of Nairobi.

Despite the warnings from her mother, the Facebook prophets, and probably her own screaming intuition, Rozina walked down the aisle in August 2012.

But even as she made that fateful walk, something was off. “I was walking down the aisle, lakini roho yangu haikuwa pale. I was pinning my fate on hope,” she confessed.

Hope is a beautiful thing, but sometimes it’s also a liar in a wedding dress.

The Honeymoon from Hell: Ten Days of Celibacy in South Africa

Now, every bride dreams of a romantic honeymoon, right? Champagne, rose petals, you know the drill.

But Rozina’s honeymoon in South Africa was more like a spiritual retreat run by a confused monk.

Rozina Mwakideu.

Ten whole days in the Mother City, and the celibacy continued! “We spent like 10 days and we never had sex,” she revealed, probably still traumatized by the sheer absurdity of it all.

But here’s where this story goes from strange to “Jesus, take the wheel” territory. Rozina later discovered that their entire honeymoon wasn’t even paid for by Burale! Plot twist of the century, ladies and gentlemen!

A married woman – let’s call her “Christine” as Rozina did – who had been in her own marriage for over twenty years and was quite wealthy, had footed the entire bill.

And why would a married woman pay for another couple’s honeymoon, you ask? Well, hold onto your church hats because apparently, this Christine was pursuing Burale herself!

“This woman was herself married and had been in her marriage for over twenty years, and she was quite wealthy. She paid for our entire honeymoon, yet she was a married woman,” Rozina spilled.

“I found out through his emails, because I later got access to his passwords. He had written to her saying that his marriage to me was fake, that it was only for show.”

Can you imagine? This man told his side chick that his actual marriage was the fake one! The audacity! The sheer unmitigated gall!

The Laptop That Revealed Too Much

If you thought the story couldn’t get any more explosive, honey, you haven’t been paying attention.

Remember how Rozina got access to Burale’s passwords? Well, when she logged into his laptop, she found more than just love letters to married women.

“I managed to get a password to his laptop, and I bumped into a video of gay men in the act,” Rozina revealed, dropping a bomb that could be heard from Eastlands to Westlands. “I asked him about the video, but he lied to me that the video is not his.”

Now, we’re not here to judge anyone’s browser history, but finding explicit gay content on your supposedly celibate pastor husband’s laptop while you’re in a sexless marriage? That’s the kind of irony that would make even Shakespeare pause.

The Email That Confirmed Her Worst Fears

The laptop revelations didn’t stop at the adult content.

Rozina also discovered emails where Burale was telling multiple women that his marriage was just for show, just for his image as a pastor.

One particularly gut-wrenching email to Christine read: “He told her that the marriage was just for his public image because he was a pastor, but he said it was becoming difficult because, in his words, Rozina was starting to love him genuinely.”

Let that sink in. The problem wasn’t that the marriage was fake. The problem was that his wife was catching real feelings! You can’t make this up even if you tried!

When the Police Came Knocking

As if being trapped in a loveless, sexless, fake marriage wasn’t enough, Rozina found herself dodging debt collectors like she was in a Nollywood movie. “Cops started calling me because he used to owe people money.

I was caught in the middle of that. Walikuwa wananitishia kwa vitu ambavyo sivijui. Kuna siku nilikuwa kanisani, polisi wakaja wakitaka kunishika kwa sababu hawakumpata Burale.”

Picture this: You’re at church, probably praying for deliverance from your marriage, and the police roll up trying to arrest you for your husband’s debts. That’s not just drama, that’s a whole theatrical production!

The Kitchen Knife and The Breaking Point

The situation became so dire that Rozina fell into a deep depression. “Nilikuwa kwa depression mbaya sana. Nilikuwa kama zombie. I even contemplated just committing suicide,” she confessed, her voice probably heavy with the memory of those dark days.

One day, while Burale was out, Rozina picked up a kitchen knife and sat on it, pressing it into her stomach, tears streaming down her face. “I was thinking that I should just die, tears falling down my face,” she recalled.

When Burale came home and found her in this state, even he was shocked. He took the knife, led her to the bathroom, and for a moment, the facade cracked.

It was her third attempt to leave the marriage. The first two times, she’d tried and come back, determined to make it work. But there’s only so much a woman can take before she realizes that some things aren’t meant to be fixed.

The Great Escape

Finally, Rozina made her move. She called her brother Alex, and he came for her. “The day I left that marriage, I called you [Alex], and you came for me,” she told him during the interview.

“I had been trying so hard for this marriage to work, and in that period, these two times I tried to go and came back, I was really like I could die trying to make it work.”

For Rozina, leaving was “a matter of life and death” – and there wasn’t even physical violence involved. “People can be good and foolish, enter into situations which they shouldn’t,” she reflected with the wisdom of someone who’s been through the fire and lived to tell the tale.

The Aftermath: No Children, No Regrets

One silver lining in this cloud of chaos? The couple never had children during their one year and two days of marriage. “We never had any children, which, to me, I think is a blessing,” Rozina stated plainly.

And honestly, can you imagine co-parenting with someone who convinced a married woman to pay for your honeymoon while maintaining a sexless marriage and keeping gay porn on his laptop? That’s a level of complexity that would make even Solomon throw up his hands!

Twelve years later, neither Rozina nor Burale has remarried. But Rozina is crystal clear about one thing: “I can never go back. I was the one who left him.”

Burale’s Side of the Story

Now, in the spirit of fairness, it’s worth noting that Robert Burale has his own narrative. In a 2023 interview, when asked how he would react if his daughter came out as gay, he said he would “take 40 40-day fasts” and ask God to remove his pastor’s heart and let him be a parent.

He’s also claimed that he’s had open conversations with his daughter about sexuality.

Robert Burale.

Recently, Burale made headlines again by declaring on national television that “nobody is born gay” and that homosexuality goes against God’s natural order.

“Some of the people attacking me are mothers with children. Some people will still attack me when I talk about God’s order, that he created male and female. Nobody is born gay; you are born a man and will die a man. Same for women: you are born a woman, you die a woman,” he proclaimed.

The irony isn’t lost on anyone who’s heard Rozina’s story.

A man who allegedly kept gay pornography on his laptop while maintaining a sexless marriage is now out here preaching about God’s natural order and traditional relationships. You can’t write this kind of drama, people!

The Verdict

Rozina Mwakideu has spent twelve years healing from what she calls the darkest period of her life.

At 50 years old, she’s finally ready to tell her truth, and honey, what a truth it is! From the borrowed money to the Karen captivity, from the Facebook warnings to the sexless honeymoon funded by another woman, from the gay porn discovery to the suicide attempt with a kitchen knife – this story has more layers than a wedding cake at Safari Park Hotel.

“I have grown, I have healed, and I have moved on,” Rozina says now, her voice steady with the strength of a woman who’s survived a storm that would have broken many others.

But even in her healing, even in her moving on, one thing remains true: “My biggest mistake in life was marrying Robert Burale.”

And there you have it, folks. A cautionary tale about red flags, smooth talkers, and why you should always, ALWAYS listen to those concerned aunties sliding into your DMs.

Sometimes, the strangers on Facebook know more than your heart wants to admit.

As for Burale, well, he’s still out here preaching and making headlines with his controversial views on sexuality.

But now, every time he opens his mouth, thousands of people will be thinking about his ex-wife’s revelations and wondering what else might be hiding behind that pastor’s collar.
