Kenyan musician Kevin Kioko, better known as Bahati, and his wife Diana Marua had a tearful reunion with two young girls, Rose and Purity, whom Bahati had previously fostered alongside their son, Morgan. The emotional event, documented on Diana’s YouTube channel, showcased the enduring bond formed between the children during their time together in a children’s home.
Bahati, who himself grew up in a children’s home, explained that he had hoped to adopt Rose and Purity alongside Morgan. However, legal limitations, primarily due to his age and financial situation at the time, prevented him from fulfilling his desire. He shared the heartbreaking decision he had to make to return the girls to the orphanage, while keeping Morgan.
Despite the separation, Bahati continued to support the girls over the years. The reunion marked the first time the children came together as a family in years, with the girls sharing stories of their lives and struggles. The emotional highlight of the reunion was when Morgan, who had grown up with Rose and Purity in the same children’s home, acknowledged them as his sisters.
Rose, who is now a mother herself, shared the news of her baby with the family, prompting Diana to jokingly claim the title of “Shosho dotcom” (modern grandmother) and “Shosho wa madoo” (rich grandmother).
The reunion was a poignant reminder of the strong ties that can be formed in challenging circumstances, and Bahati’s commitment to supporting those less fortunate.
