Why I connected with Mthembu, says Mariam

The Real Housewives of Lagos star, Mariam Timmer has revealed that she connected more with her Durban counterpart, Annie Mthembu more than any other star of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

In a recent chat, Timmer said, “I connected immediately with Annie Mthembu from the Durban franchise. Our energy matched from the start, and we bonded both personally and on a more professional, intentional level. I also connected well with Princess Jecoco from Abuja. There was instant familiarity and ease with her. As for the ones I didn’t connect with right away… let’s just say you’ll have to watch the show to see how that story unfolds.”

When asked if she formed any new friendships during the trip, Mariam said, “Absolutely! I formed some beautiful new friendships on this trip, especially with the Durban ladies and Princess Jecoco. They were truly a breath of fresh air, and I connected with them in a very genuine way. I really like their energy, their openness and the way they show up for the people around them. I also formed bonds with a few others, and what made it special was that our connection went beyond the show. Outside of RUGTA, we were able to open up, share what we were dealing with in our personal lives, and really support each other. That, to me, is sisterhood and I appreciated every moment of it.”
