'He’s the kindest and most caring man I have ever met.’ Despite strangers criticising the relationship, Deborah says 'couldn't be happier' after moving all the way to Tanzania to marry a Maasai tribesman 30 years younger than her ❤️
A woman who moved 9,000 miles away from home to marry a Maasai tribesman 30 years her junior has said she ‘couldn’t be happier’ – despite strangers criticising the relationship.
Deborah declined but asked if she could have a photo with them, as she had never met a Maasai, and struck up a conversation with Saitoty.The pair kept in touch and bonded further over a beach walk, but Deborah didn’t initially see it going any further because of the age gap.supports HTML5 video After this, Saitoty called Deborah every day to check in – and even talked about wanting to marry her.‘Once I was back in California it was a 12 hour difference between us but Saitoty made sure to call me every day – even if there was a power outage he’d find a way,’ she said.So when Deborah’s children encouraged her to ‘go for it’ if he made her happy, she flew out to meet Saitoty two months later and happily accepted his proposal when they reunited.
‘When he first brought up marrying me I thought he was crazy. But my children and family said I shouldn’t care about the age gap as I’d been alone long enough and deserved to be happy.’But not everyone was as accepting of the relationship. They’ve had a Maasai ceremony and a legal marriage, and are now planning a larger ceremony to bring their families together
