In a wedding that has shocked and fascinated many across Uganda, 28-year-old rising artiste Simon Bunks has married 60-year-old Sharon, a white woman from the United Kingdom.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sanyuka Television, Simon responded to the attention without hesitation.

Calm and sure of himself, he said:

I know people are talking, but I am not bothered. Sharon is my wife. We love each other, and that’s what matters. Love does not care about age or race. We understand each other, we support each other, and we’ve chosen to live our lives together.

Simon and Sharon also shared that they plan to adopt children soon.

People laughed at me at first, even my own friends. But when they see us together, the peace and happiness we have, they start to understand. This isn’t for show. This is real.

The couple now lives in Kampala and plans to split their time between Uganda and the United Kingdom.
