Recently, Musila took to Instagram to celebrate her husband, noting his modest breakfast habits.

“One thing am grateful for is that, I have always stood up for myself and lived by my rules. I know what is good for Esther and that is what I give her, the best for her. I have never shied away from living my life and living it unapologetically! I thrive on positivity and good vibes because I am intentional in what I feed my mind, body and soul.
“I carry my age with grace and honor because I know God has enabled me to be on his wake up list every single morning of my 53 years on this earth so I will keep embracing my days and living each day like it’s my last.
“To my family and my true friends who are part of my life each and every day, I thank you for your love. To me Esther, keep winning, living, loving and laughing. You are simply the BEST! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME💞💞💞,” she wrote.
