“My Maasai dream is over”Theatre volunteer, 26,who moved to Kenya to marry a tribal warrior returns to Britain to give birth to a baby by his 19-year old son.
A new mother has revealed how after she moved to Kenya to marry a Maasai warrior she went on to have a baby with his teenage son – who remains in Africa, while she is back in Britain.
Rebekah O’Brien, 26, fell for butcher Rempesa Ole Kirkoya, 40 when he and his Maasai warrior troupe came and performed in the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich in 2012.
Rebekah, a gym receptionist from Kent, was so entranced with his culture and the connection that she felt that she uprooted her life to move 7,000 miles to be with him – even though he was already married to his wife Joyce.
But three years on and her fate has been less than straightforward. She and Rempesa are no longer together and instead she is romantically involved with his eldest son, a teenager still at school who is unable to help her support their week-old son Kito.
