Will never heal: Manzi Wa Mombasa reflects on time she dated Brian Chira
By Steve Ireri, February 28, 2026TikToker Manzi Wa Mombasa has opened up about a particular time when she dated and was very close to the late, famous TikToker Brian Chira.
In a post shared on TikTok on Saturday, February 28, 2026, the TikToker recalled how their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship and expressed just how deeply she missed Chira.
At the same time, Manzi wa Mombasa said she feels as though she may never fully heal from the impact of his passing, and she prayed to God to always keep his soul safe and at peace.
“He was almost going to kiss me; will I ever heal from you, Chira?” she wrote.
The TikToker then shared a cute video in which Chira appeared very comfortable in her company, and in which they exuded lovey-dovey vibes as they hung out together and enjoyed each other’s presence.
Baby Chira
In a separate report, Manzi Wa Mombasa shared an update on the growth and eating habits of her child, whom she named after Chira.
“Hi guys, this is Baby Chira. Today he is eating greens, ugali, and vegetables. I have tried my best to feed him, but he keeps refusing food,” she said.
She explained that while she prepares meals including greens, ugali, and vegetables, the child often plays with the food, pouring it on the sofa.
However, she added that Baby Chira still eats afterwards, showing a preference for feeding himself rather than being fed.
“I even tried cutting the ugali into small pieces and mixing it with the cabbage, but it did not work. Now, what he does is play with the food and pour it on the sofa,” she shared.
Manzi Wa Mombasa described her attempts to encourage him to eat, including cutting the ugali into small pieces and mixing it with vegetables, but noted that these efforts have largely been unsuccessful.
She reassured followers that she is not worried when he picks the food from the sofa, as it is clean, and said the situation demonstrates the child’s independence and determination to feed himself.
“The good thing is that he still eats it afterwards. Because the sofa is clean, I am not worried when he picks up the food from there. That is how he eats, and it seems like he likes to feed himself. He has refused to be fed,” Manzi Wa Mombasa said.
Brian Chira, after whom the child is named, was a popular content creator on TikTok and a well-known advocate for people living with HIV.
Manzi Wa Mombasa was part of Chira’s inner circle, which included popular creators such as LGBTQ TikToker Jude Magambo, known as Manzi Wa Meru, Mombasa influencer Chesoni, and several others.
