Brit moved to Kenya to marry Maasai tribal warrior…and comes back pregnant by his SON, 19

Rebekah O'Brien, 26, went to live in tin hut after falling for member of travelling tribal dancing group

A BRIT theatre worker has revealed how she moved to Kenya to be with a Maasai warrior – only to have a baby by his teenage son.

Rebekah O'Brien, 26, fell for village butcher Rempesa Ole Kirkoya, 40, when his tribal dancing group came to perform in the UK.

She met Rempesa, then 37, when the group came to the theatre where she worked in Norwich in 2012.

And she said even though neither of them could speak the other’s language there was instant chemistry.

She decided to go and visit him in Kenya the following year, staying for nine weeks in a tin hut in a village with no running water or electricity around an hour from the capital, Nairobi.

And despite Rempesa having a wife and five kids in the village, the two began a relationship – with the butcher’s current wife Joyce even translating so the pair could converse.

Rebekah said: “As a Western woman in Kenya people were suspicious of me, but Rempesa was so kind, buying me food and drinks and always had time for me and made me feel welcome and special.”

Rebekah returned to the UK after her trip and Rempesa followed shortly after.
