The Heartfelt Concern Kanyari Has Raised About His Kids

Prophet Victor Kanyari has once again spoken candidly about his co-parenting journey, offering a humorous yet revealing glimpse into the challenges he faces.

In a recent revelation, the preacher expressed concern that his children may begin to forget him as they spend more time with their mother’s new partner.

Kanyari, who co-parents with the late media personality Betty Bayo, did not shy away from sharing his fears, noting that the physical distance created by their living arrangements has occasionally left him feeling sidelined.

“Tash and I are co-parenting, and at the moment the children are with their stepfather. Vile naona, itabidi nizae watoto wengine tu. Hawa ni wale watoto wanaendanga America, wakipigigwa simu Baba ni mgonjwa wanasema atapona tu."

Co-Parenting Dynamics

Kanyari and the late Bayo, who separated several years ago, have maintained a shared responsibility model in raising their two children.

According to the preacher, the current living arrangement places the children primarily in their mother’s home, where they also interact closely with their stepfather.

This setup, Kanyari suggested, contributes to the anxiety he occasionally feels about the strength of his bond with his children, especially during periods when they spend extended time away from him.

This is not the first time Kanyari has spoken about his fears concerning his relationship with his children. Over the years, the pastor has repeatedly highlighted the importance he places on remaining an active presence in their lives.

Despite the challenges that followed their separation, both parents have publicly discussed the necessity of maintaining stability for the sake of their children.

Kanyari has previously stated that he plays a significant financial and emotional role, including paying substantial school fees and ensuring he remains available whenever needed.

Public Reactions

“Ongea na watoto wakikubali sawa wakikataa uwaache”
This comment is basically saying that Kanyari should talk to his children, and if they are comfortable with seeing him more often or being around him, then that’s good — but if they are not comfortable or don’t want to, then he should give them space and leave them be.
