Societal expectations are that men marry women younger than them. This has been the “expected” criterion although it is being spurned by the new generation.
Nonetheless, there are some of the few Kenyan celebrities who have gone against the norm and married much older women.

Allan is a popular and respected investigative journalist. He is married to one Sheena Makena who is three years older than him.
The two lovers first met back in the university. However, they did not start dating until after Namu went to work as an intern at KTN.
Sheena was already an editor in the station. The two revealed that they rarely think about their age gap.
