She revealed that she and Bahati, who share a daughter named Mueni, parted ways after realizing they had grown apart.
“Nothing bad happened and people fall in and out of love. We got to a point where we fell out of love after Mueni was born,” she said.
When asked who fell out of love first, Yvette smiled and admitted, “I did. It gets to that point where everyone gets there.”
She added that her struggle with fame also contributed to the split. “Away from being his baby mama, I don’t like the limelight at all. I could not handle it,” she explained.
From Teenage Sweethearts to Co-Parents
Yvette and Bahati met while in high school in Huruma and started dating long before Bahati rose to fame. Their relationship eventually brought forth their daughter, Mueni.
After their separation, Yvette chose to stay out of the spotlight while Bahati’s music career grew.
Today, the two have maintained a peaceful and mature co-parenting relationship. Speaking in the same interview, Yvette described their dynamic as respectful and grounded.
“Co-parenting is amazing. It depends on the individuals. We decided nothing is going on between me and Bahati; he is married, I’m seeing someone else. Tunatoa wapi drama? Hakuna at all, we are all mature and respect iko, but it also takes God,” she said.
A Message of Faith and Renewal
In her post, Yvette credited divine timing for bringing her new partner into her life, writing that she believes “God brought the right one” her way. This spiritual reflection aligns with the theme of faith and patience that has been consistent throughout her social media journey.
As congratulatory messages continue to pour in, Yvette’s engagement stands as a symbol of resilience — a reminder that healing and happiness are possible after heartbreak.
