According to the singer, she wanted to be ready and fully prepared before telling the world and her fans that she is expecting.
She also explained that the struggles she has been through with the pregnancy so far also pushed her not to make the big reveal at an early stage. Adding that, pregnancy is a very intimate affair and she has been admitted to the hospital severally, due to the pregnancy.
“Pregnancy is a very intimate thing and it has not been easy. Our mothers never say the truth. Morning sickness can be throughout the pregnancy. For me, I had aneamia. That's the major thing, nilukuwa nashindwa hata kukula kabisa juu (i couldn't even eat because I was) vomiting. I have been admitted in hospital several times. So, the reason why I did not want to say it is because I wanted to be okay first before I tell people that I’m expecting my bundle of joy.
“Unlike the way people were feeling as if I was hiding the pregnancy. There is nothing to hiding pregnancy, it’s very personal that you just have to wait till you are ready to talk about it,” Nadia explained.

Arrow Bwoy joined the conversation narrating that he has seen his girlfriend battle a lot as far as the pregnancy is concerned.
“I have seen her go through a lot with the pregnancy and she is a fighter… the fact that tulipoteza mtoto wa kwanza, ilikuwa ni noma (we lost our first baby was really tough). When she got pregnant the second time, that's when I said I must support her through thick and thin,” Arrow said.
The Utembe CEO also disclosed that their unborn baby was made in Zanzibar during their 2021 baecation.

So let’s pray for our husbands. Yours truly Nicah the queen. Tusaidiane wenyewe kwa wenyewe (let's help each other),” Nicah said.

“With time I realized that I had done a big mistake, especially saying Marriage is a scam. Those were just emotions and I highly regret it because it has cost me a lot of things. Can you imagine my kids in future coming to show me a YouTube video saying Daddy why did you say marriage is a scam? The whole statement was based on emotions and nothing big, but then you realize your wife has to come back home and I also realized the house is just empty without her,” confessed DJ Crème De La Crème.
The apparel entrepreneur said that he is happy to see his family back together, a feeling he says is hard to even describe.
“The family is fairing on well, they are back home and settled now. God is gracious enough he brought the family back and it’s amazing. I can’t even describe the feeling.
“Yes, yes hata yuko Jikoni anatengeneza chakula na hata naona nikiacha kukonda venye nilikuwa nimekonda,” Crème said.
However, the former KTN DJ chose not to give details of how they managed to repair their union, admitting that every marriage has its fair share of ups and downs.
