Darren & Anna … the love story Darren Maule is a man of many talents. Whether he’s waking up KZN as the host of ECR’s award-winning breakfast show or being an MC, comedian or ambassador for major brands and NGOs, he is a renowned and much-loved personality. After a decade of being the ultimate ‘single dad’, everything changed when ‘Anna Banana’ walked into his life and KZN listened in awe as the two fell in love. We were recently granted a sneaky glimpse into the private lives of Darren, Anna Kelly and Darren’s daughter, affectionately known as ‘Mouse’. Arriving at Darren and Anna’s North Coast house, the breath-taking view of the ocean becomes a secondary thought as Anna, ever the gracious hostess, greets us with her effervescent smile. The moment you walk in, you can feel the transformation from a house to a home. Darren pauses the CNN channel to get up and say hello, and 12-year-old ‘Mouse’ and their three enthusiastic dogs come running down the stairs. Mouse goes to her dad and Anna individually to give them a big hug, before running off upstairs again with the loyal pooches right behind her. We’ve finally got them together so it’s the perfect time to get their thoughts on new love, demanding lives, and how they ended up as one of the most well-known couples in the province. Questions for the couple: What was the first thought you had when you met? Darren: (chuckling) “She was sitting elegantly in the foyer at ECR. I went to my producer at the time and asked him to go have a look at the stunning woman who’d taken my breath away. He went to take a peek Photo: Lara Baker and came back saying I should definitely go out there and say something, but I didn’t, which I regretted. A few months later when the same scenario presented itself, I decided to go for it, but she was already in a meeting with one of the managers. I very subtly barged in and interrupted the meeting to ask some random, nonsensical question just so I could be in the same room as her and say hello. I thought that by my single act of defiance, barging into a meeting (which I had never done before or ever since), would be the bat-signal to tell her I was definitely interested in her. Well ... it only took me three or four more years, but eventually we got there! Anna: Our paths had crossed many times, but our first meaningful conversation was backstage at Toy Story at the Pavilion four years ago. It was the first time we had spoken one-on-one. I remember being surprised by how softly spoken he was, he was also very geeky and clearly shy! I did think he was so attractive in his attentiveness and sincerity and being 6ft 4 was rather yummy too! February 2021 Get It • Highway • Berea • Durban North 11 Text: Bronwyn forbes-hardinge
