Kenyan travel content creator Fredrick “I Am Marwa” Marwa has revealed that he hopes to marry up to three wives and raise a family of 10 children, saying he wants to be transparent about his long-term relationship goals before entering another serious relationship.

Marwa shared the plans during an interview on his sister Dee Mwango’s YouTube channel, where he spoke about marriage, family and the qualities he is looking for in a future partner.

The YouTuber said he believes in being open about his intentions from the outset so that anyone considering a relationship with him fully understands his expectations.

“I’m putting my intentions clear before somebody comes into my life because I don’t want them to be shocked,” Marwa said during the interview.

Marwa said he intends to have a maximum of three wives and 10 children, describing it as the family structure he has envisioned for himself.

He also said he would prefer partners who are financially independent, explaining that he is looking for women who have established careers or successful businesses.

“I want women who are already successful. I don’t want someone who depends entirely on me,” he said.

The content creator noted that financial independence would allow each partner to contribute to building a stable family while pursuing individual goals.

Marwa’s remarks have attracted public attention, particularly because of his prominence as one of Kenya’s best-known travel content creators. Over the years, he has built a global audience through travel documentaries and lifestyle content filmed across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

His latest comments come months after he publicly addressed questions about his future relationships following the end of his previous relationship with Argentine national Rocío, which had featured prominently on his social media platforms.

Although Marwa expressed a desire to enter a polygamous marriage, he did not disclose when he plans to marry or whether he is currently in a relationship.

Under Kenya’s Marriage Act, 2014, polygamous marriages are legally recognised under customary and Islamic law, while civil and Christian marriages are monogamous unless otherwise provided by law. Marwa did not indicate under which legal or customary framework he would choose to marry.

The interview has renewed public discussion about polygamy, family planning and relationship expectations, with Marwa maintaining that his decision is a personal one and that he chose to disclose it publicly to ensure transparency with any future partner.
