The wife of renowned city designer and fashion maven Bolo Bespoke, Mueni, has clapped back at Kenyans who, ever since her husband went all out to surprise her ahead of her 31st birthday, have been accusing her of fabricating her age.
Speaking during an exclusive sit-down with YouTuber Trudy Kitui on the night of Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Mueni took aim at the segment of Kenyans who have been fuelling the rumours and made it unequivocally clear that she is unbothered by whatever age people choose to assign her.
She said that she knows with absolute certainty that she is turning 31 and not any of the exaggerated numbers being thrown around.
“Everyone has their own level of understanding — if you want to imagine that I am 51 or even 100, that is fine; if you feel I look 16 or 20, that is also alright — but my age belongs to me,” she stated calmly but firmly.
Mueni further noted that she is fully aware that she might not be able to control what Kenyans say when they decide to run wild with gossip, and emphasised that anyone who believes they know too much about her should boldly come forward and state their case.
“I have nothing to say to them — the one who gave birth to me or the one parading themselves as my mother should come forward and speak the truth, because you cannot continue forcing people to accept what they do not want to hear,” she said, unapologetically.
Mueni then clarified that she is nowhere near 50, a number that many Kenyans have fixated on, and set the record straight by revealing that she is 30 years old and will be turning 31 in August 2025.
In that same breath, she announced that she intends to commemorate her 31st chapter in the grandest way possible, revealing that Kenyans should expect her to host a dazzling, state-of-the-art birthday celebration.
“I am turning 31 on 31st August, and I have officially stepped onto the third floor — and I am doing it in style. As I told you, I am the queen of launches. Every season, I unveil something new. I will celebrate in full bloom,” she affirmed with a gleaming smile.
Mueni explained that her desire to celebrate is deeply rooted in gratitude, acknowledging that turning 31 is no small feat and that it is nothing short of divine favour.
She passionately expressed that she has witnessed many lose their lives at tender ages, some even before reaching 30, and thanked God openly, saying she is beyond grateful to have basked in life for a full 30 years.
“I will celebrate because people are passing away at 29, 28, and even younger — but God has poured grace over me and allowed me to keep spinning on this planet. When I turned 30, even though we may not have posted much, I declared that it was my year of transformation — 30 brings its own battles, and if you enter it with clarity, then 31 becomes the year to execute all that you envisioned,” she shared with heartfelt emotion.
Mueni’s business
During the same interview, Mueni also opened up about the children’s boutique business she recently launched with Bolo, expressing sheer delight at how swiftly the venture has flourished and how warmly it has been embraced within the industry.
She noted that Kenyans have quite literally walked the talk by showering the business with the same unwavering support they usually show online, and she extended heartfelt thanks to every single person who has purchased from them.
She also noted that she could hardly find the right words to express her appreciation.
“Conversations are the heartbeat of the city. I still cannot believe the outpouring of support I have received for this business, even from people outside of Nairobi. the love has been overwhelming. At first, I had my doubts because the location seemed a bit far from the main stage, but surprisingly, it is incredibly convenient — people come through, find ample space, do their shopping, and head home directly with ease,” she said, beaming with gratitude.
