I absolutely knew that I had feelings for her. But I treaded ridiculously cautiously in admitting that to her the very first time I saw her pictures on Instagram,” Kefas Brand revealed.

Kefas has been touted as carrying the potential to become one of the most influential personalities in his country. 

His charisma and talent have earned him a place in the hearts of many. On the other hand, Fridaus is no stranger to the spotlight, being a seasoned model who has graced international runways and fashion shoots.

Their initial connection, he says, was about mutual aspirations, courage, and an unwavering desire to follow their true paths in life.

“Fridaus yearned to break free from the conventional expectations placed upon her and listen to her heart's calling and I was there to provide the guidance she needed to embark on her unique journey,” he said.

As they engaged in deep conversations, Fridaus revealed her dreams of following in Kefas Brand's footsteps as an actor and TV personality. Without hesitation, he offered his support and guidance, setting the stage for a transformative journey.

Their bond deepened, and in February Fridaus revealed her affection for Kefas Brand.

 At the time, he was nearing the end of a year of being single, making the admission somewhat unexpected. However, the connection between them was undeniable.

Despite his initial caution, Kefas soon realized that his dreams were consistently filled with Fridaus, a clear sign of the profound impact she had on his life.

The most telling dream was one in which I was living in a frat house of my guy friends, and a pristine package of warm pastries arrived for me from LA, sent by  Fridaus. The dream really needed no interpretation. At the time, I was living in a four-suite apartment building with five of my guy friends… spending my time working. The package of pristine pastries was the feminine essence that I felt and was receiving, from my real-life calls with her,” he said.

So yes, I absolutely knew that I had feelings for her. I treaded ridiculously cautiously in admitting that to her. After her third admission of expressing her feelings for me, I basically said, ‘Okay and I immediately expressed my undying feelings for her, and how taken by her I felt.”

Their interpretations of the situation he says, may have initially differed, but over time, clarity emerged. They both acknowledged their deep feelings for one another and decided to explore their connection further.

What followed was a multi-week streak of 4-8 hour phone calls, where they delved into every aspect of their lives. 

Their conversations ranged from the profound to the mundane, weaving a tapestry of intimacy, laughter, and tears that united their hearts even when the clock struck 4 a.m.

Fridaus had a transformative influence on every facet of my life,” he says. “Our love story was no ordinary romance; it was a union of kindred spirits, driven by a shared passion for life, art, and authenticity.

Today, as a couple, their love story continues to unfold, and they remain a source of inspiration for many.
