Flamboyant businessman Jamal Roho Safi who is husband to Kenyan socialite Amber Ray, says he has known the damsel for more than five years.

Contrary to what people have been saying, the two were friends and would meet often before they took their relationship to the next level.

Speaking during an interview with Jalango, Jamal shared

'Amber Ray and I have known each other for 5 years.

We would meet every once in a while, After a year is when things happened and things reached where they are.'

Jamal added that being a Muslim he watched his grandfather manage his four wives peacefully and he hopes to emulate him.

This he has done by ensuring that his two wives live next to each other.

'My grandfather had four wives and had his house at the center and so I wanted to be like him.

The place was beautiful so I stuck there. I found Amber Ray living in Syokimau.
