Kenyan musician Bahati has publicly congratulated his former partner Yvette Obura after she announced her engagement to her new fiancé, Frank Otieno.

The gesture—shared through a humorous yet warm Instagram caption—has drawn attention across social media, reflecting Bahati’s apparent goodwill toward his ex-girlfriend and co-parent of their daughter, Mueni.

Bahati’s Playful Message

Bahati reposted Yvette’s engagement video on Instagram with a caption that read:

“Why are people tagging me on this video? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway Congratulations Mama Mueni @Yvette_Obura 👏👏👏 I can see you were searching for Tall, Dark and ….. Sawa basi, mletee dinner tujuane 🙏”

The lighthearted tone of the message quickly caught the attention of fans, who interpreted it as a display of maturity and respect despite their past romantic history.

The post also suggested Bahati’s continued support for Yvette’s happiness and a cordial co-parenting relationship.

 

Yvette’s Emotional Engagement Announcement

Bahati’s congratulatory post came just hours after Yvette Obura, popularly known as Mama Mueni, publicly revealed that she had accepted a marriage proposal from her new man.

In an emotional Instagram post, Yvette—who is also a businesswoman and content creator—expressed gratitude for finding love again after enduring heartbreak in the past.

“I said yes to the man that made me believe in love again,” she wrote. “I’m letting go of past pain and failed relationships. The right one God brought my way.”

 

Her announcement was accompanied by romantic engagement photos featuring a beautifully decorated outdoor setup.

The proposal scene included glowing “Marry Me” signage, rose petals, fairy lights, and an intimate picnic arrangement, symbolizing a fresh chapter in her personal life.

Yvette’s heartfelt caption resonated with fans who have followed her journey since her split from Bahati several years ago. Many commended her openness about rediscovering love and emotional healing.

 

 

A History of Co-Parenting and Public Attention

Bahati and Yvette share a daughter, Mueni Bahati, and have maintained a relatively peaceful co-parenting arrangement. In previous interviews, both have spoken about prioritizing their child’s well-being despite moving on separately.

Their relationship—once the subject of intense media scrutiny—has gradually evolved into one characterized by mutual respect. Bahati’s public congratulations to Yvette, rather than silence, further highlighted this dynamic of emotional maturity.
