Before her widely publicized marriage to gospel artist Guardian Angel, Esther Musila was married to the late Eric Kiptanui Naibei. A career professional who preferred life away from the cameras, Eric passed away in 2016, leaving behind a legacy deeply rooted in his three children. Today, Esther Musila’s children—often referred to as the “3Gs” due to their names—have grown into independent adults, each carving out their own niche in the creative and corporate worlds while maintaining a close-knit bond with their mother.
Esther Musila’s first husband, the father of her three children, met her when she moved to Nairobi from Nakuru for work. The mother of three said she got a job with a firm that was near State House in Nairobi and that it was while she was in that job that she started building her life.
After meeting her ex-husband, the 53-year-old queen started a family with him, and they had three children together.
Esther Musila Banking Job
“I stayed with my friend Kianda for about a month while I was looking for a place to live, and life began. At that time, I met Gilda’s father and then we started a family. I had my three children with him, and then I got tired of that job,” Musila said during an interview with KTN.
After losing her first job in Nairobi, the mother of three applied for another job in a bank while she was pregnant with her first child.
In the interview, he opened up about how he submitted her mother’s urine for pregnancy tests before getting the job because it was a bank requirement for women to be tested for pregnancy before being hired.
“My mother gave me her urine. I knew I was pregnant. I needed to go to a job interview. I traveled with my mother’s urine from Nakuru to Nairobi,” Esther Musila said.
He luckily got the job after submitting his mother’s urine and worked at the bank for about 6 years before resigning to take care of her children, who were very young at the time.
