“To all my fans in Lodwar, I am so sorry because I could not make it. I am not feeling well. I am pregnant, so I could not make it all the way there. Please bear with me. Next time I will come. Have a blast with my husband,” she said in a video.

The news quickly spread across platforms, catching many of their followers off guard. Diana has previously opened up about being a mother of three — two sons and a daughter — with her eldest now 20 years old.

Her husband, Patelo, 26, has often spoken lovingly about his bond with her children, revealing that they already call him dad. The announcement has therefore drawn both excitement and admiration from fans, who praised the couple for embracing their growing family.

Fans React with Love and Laughter

As soon as the clip went viral, fans flooded the comment sections with congratulatory messages and light-hearted jokes.

Many of their followers lauded the pair for showing that love can thrive despite public judgement, while others expressed admiration for their openness and authenticity.

Diana’s Bold Response to Age Critics

The pregnancy news came just weeks after the couple went viral again — this time for clapping back at critics who have repeatedly mocked Diana’s age.

In a fiery video posted on their shared TikTok account, Diana addressed the constant online trolling with unfiltered honesty.

“So even if I’m old, what’s your problem? Just leave me alone, I have my husband,” she declared, visibly frustrated but confident.

Her spirited tone and expressive gestures had fans divided, with some joking that she seemed “a little tipsy” while defending herself.

Patelo, standing beside her in the clip, echoed her message in support.

“Mind your own business. Even if she’s old, she isn’t your mother. Wa kudumu tutadumu,” he said while pulling her affectionately closer.

The couple’s unified front only strengthened their fans’ admiration, proving once again that they are unbothered by online negativity.

A Love Story That Keeps the Internet Talking

Patelo and Diana’s whirlwind romance first grabbed attention when details of their opulent wedding surfaced earlier this year.

Held at Naiposha Gardens in Limuru, the event stunned many with its grandeur. Speaking later on Obinna Show Live, the couple revealed that the ceremony cost over KSh 500 million.
