Her friends and family had warned her against dating a \u2018handsome star\u2019.\u00a0 Innocent Nabasa was told men like Moses Bismac Amumpaire do not commit, so she took it slow until he proved otherwise.<\/p>\n

Innocent met Bismac at a time when she had shelved the idea of dating. She had gone through heartbreak and her trust in men had waned. She was in her final semester at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

From day one, he has purposed to see me succeed physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially,\u201d she recounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
