5 Kenyan celebrity couples who are better off together than apart


If the recent troubles by celebrity couple Size 8 and DJ Mo have taught us anything it is that although the glitz and the glamour can be dazzling, it is not always a bed of roses, especially so when every detail of your life becomes fodder for the gossip mills to run on.

But the storms and tribulations that they sometimes face, these couples have come out to show a united front, to the relief of their fans.

This is without mentioning the fact that with the rise of social media influencing most celebrity couples are making millions of shillings from sponsorship and endorsement deals.

We take a look at five celebrity couples who are better off together than apart.

1. Size 8 and DJ Mo

The couple has enjoyed successful careers in the entertainment industry. They got married in 2013 and together share two children. They are one of the few power couples in the gospel industry, making them a magnet to brands. They are currently building a house a project which appears to be sponsored by various companies in the construction industry. Apart from music they are also brand ambassadors of big brands like Broadways bread, Softcare.

2. Diana Marua and Bahati

They might now appear as the perfect online couple but this has not always been the case. At the beginning of their relationship, Bahati revealed that Diana moved out of their house three times. In another interview on Ebru TV, Bahati bragged that his wife could not leave him because he has money. They now have two children with another one on the way. They also have an impressive list of endorsements.

3. Kabi and Milly WaJesus

If there was a couple who showed us the real meaning of supporting each other through thick and thin, then it is this couple. On one occasion when Kabi was accused of siring a child with his cousin, he recorded a video in the company of his wife refuting the allegations. But a DNA test later proved them wrong, forcing the couple to eat humble pie. Kabi and Milly are famously known for their weekly vlogs that highlight their daily lives as a couple.

4. Simon Kabu and Sarah Kabu

This couple is the brains behind tours and travel agency Bonfire Adventures. During a past interview, the couple revealed how they started the business with a capital of Sh20,000 in the year 2008. And since then they have built it to become one of the most sought-after travel agencies in the country. Earlier this year, most of us thought that it was over between the two after Sarah ranted online saying that she was tired of living a marriage of pretence. She later apologised to her husband for the outburst and peace returned to their home.
