In a recent Boxpod TV interview, Kenyan TV host Laura Mbatha revealed a controversial dating preference: men without parents, sparking a debate about independence and family in relationships.

• Mbatha stated her ideal man is one whose parents are no longer living, emphasizing total independence and freedom from extended family complexities.
• She, and co-host Kwambox, agreed men should move out of their parents' home by ages 28 to 30, or even 25 for personal growth.
• Both hosts highlighted a gender double standard, noting society is more lenient with women living at home, despite current economic challenges for young Kenyans.
