Bahati on stormy first year of marriage: 'Diana walked out three times'

Singer Bahati has opened up on challenges in the first years of his relationship with wife Diana Marua.

According to Bahati, Diana would move out of their home after being provoked. He recounts her walking out three times in one year.

“The first year she would move out when we disagreed, it was one of the toughest. You had to go for her at her home, you start at zero again. She walked out 2 or 3 times, stabilizing a relationship takes time,” Bahati said on Mseto East Africa.

He added that Diana’s main concern was that he did not dedicate enough time to their family.

 “I found it difficult to balance my music career and family. She also had a newborn. She has never caught me cheating, one of my phones does not even have a password, the other she knows the password,” he said.

“I had never thought she would one day want to go to the studio, but she is a fast learner. I loved her confidence and flow,” he said.

As he gives a stab at politics, Bahati says Diana has been supportive and gives him ideas on what’s good for Mathare people.

“She is very supportive to me, to my family and she is the best mum my kids would ever ask for. She is already thinking of ways on how we can support my community and home. She has been praying for me, encouraging me,” he said.
