Sarah Mtalii tells Gen Z to keep off her DM, insists she is not ready to date
By Paulette Mboga, October 6, 2025Media personality and travel entrepreneur Sarah Mtalii has revealed that her direct messages (DMs) are often flooded with people expressing serious interest in dating her, but she insists she is not ready for a relationship.
Speaking in a YouTube interview with Kajim on Monday, October 6, 2025, Sarah said she receives messages from people across different professions, including pilots, doctors, and even politicians. According to her, most of them are divorced or separated, with some living abroad and others in Kenya.
“I have gotten some very interesting DMs,” she said. “Sometimes they even send screenshots of people who are seriously interested in dating me with the intention of marrying. But at the moment, my mind is not ready for that kind of relationship.”
She added that while she appreciates the attention, she is currently focused on her work and personal goals, not romance.
Says Gen Z are not her type
When asked whether younger men from Gen Z have tried to approach her, Sarah laughed and said she had to tell them to stay away from her DMs. She made it clear that her inbox should only be used for business or charity work related to her foundation.
“Gen Z kwanza, I had to tell them to keep off my DM,” she said. “If they are coming to my DM, let them come to buy a holiday or to get inspired by what we are doing at the foundation. By the way, they are so mannerless, and I feel like I am their mother. But they don’t care.”
Sarah said she has a specific type of partner she would consider dating in the future. She prefers someone mature, over the age of 40, and possibly someone who has been married before.
“When I will look for someone, the person must be over 40 years, strictly,” she said. “Or maybe someone who has been married before, like a widower or a divorcee. Tutaskiza story tujue were you the problem? But I know people reform. That is the kind of people I want.”
For now, Sarah maintains that her focus remains on her travel business and foundation work, adding that love can wait until the right time.
