Bahati, born Kevin Kioko, has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to his wife, Diana Marua, amidst speculation following her clearing her Instagram and the couple unfollowing each other. The incident, which began on January 22, 2026, has led to public debate over whether it is a genuine marital crisis or a marketing stunt. In a separate statement on Thursday, January 29, 2026, media personality Maureen Waititu urged both women and men in Kenya to overcome setbacks such as "deadbeat fathers" and reclaim their personal power. Meanwhile, Reverend Lucy Natasha recently revealed the "dowry deadlock" she encountered when marrying her Indian-descent husband. This highlighted a significant cultural reversal of expectations that required extensive negotiation.
