Vivianne reveals real reasons she separated from Sam West

Kenyan singer Vivianne has opened up about her split from her husband and music manager, Sam West.

The mother of one confirmed in an interview on Radio Jambo said that their relationship had been troubled, and Sam had too many expectations of her.

"When it comes to relationships especially nowadays they are unpredictable. Some things stopped working in our relationship, and that is why it broke. I think there was a lot of pent-up anger," Vivianne said during the interview.

She added that nowadays, people want to punish their partners for not being what they want them to be, which was a contributing factor to their break-up.

"There was a lot of betrayals. There are some things he wanted from me, and his patience run out. We were now getting into the next phase of our life," she said.
