“Our relationship is official and our families are in the picture as we are considered married since we performed the traditional marriage. We had a small family and friends event where all this took place. About a Church wedding, that might have to wait a bit as we are using the finances we have on other developments,”

She is however not ready to introduce the fella to her social media friends, just to ensure that her life remains private like before.

When asked why she took long to reveal that she was pregnant, the lady was quick to say that her mum had asked her to keep it private and just like any obedient child, she followed her mum’s advice. But she felt the need to announce it after it got at 6 months since she could not hide it anymore.

“It is not that I was hiding but the truth is that my mother did not want me to go loud about the pregnancy. My mother is the old-school type and with this, I only revealed this to a few people like Naomi Ng’ang’a who is my designer. I mean, could I even hide this from the person who tailors my clothes.

Anyway, she is yet to reveal her soon to be baby’s gender which she promised to do come April.
