Renowned Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati has shared a heartwarming reflection on how he earned the nickname “Mtoto wa Diana,” a name that has followed him for years, especially among fans and followers. The moniker, which loosely translates to “Diana’s Child,” became a staple of conversation due to Bahati’s marriage to Diana Marua, who is slightly older than him.
The nickname, often used playfully by fans, was rooted in the perception that Diana, being older and more mature, was like a mother to Bahati. In a recent Instagram post, Bahati opened up about the origin of the nickname and the special moment that led to its birth. He shared a series of throwback photos from eight years ago, a time when he and Diana were eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child, Heaven Bahati.
The pictures, which were taken during a maternity photo shoot, show the couple radiating joy and anticipation. Diana, glowing in her pregnancy, is seen wearing a stunning yellow outfit and a crown, symbolizing her beauty and grace during that special moment. Bahati, equally stylish in yellow, sits by her side, sharing a quiet yet powerful bond as they prepare to welcome their firstborn.
In his post, Bahati reflected on how the nickname came to life during that photoshoot. “Wondering how I got the name ‘Mtoto Wa Diana’? This is almost 8 Years ago during our First Baby Bump Shoot, and we were expecting Baby @HeavenBahati ❤️ #TBT Still the One I Love! @diana_marua,” Bahati wrote in his caption.
The photos not only mark a significant milestone in the couple’s journey but also reflect the deep love and connection they share. Bahati’s playful acknowledgment of the nickname also highlights how much he cherishes the memories of those early years in their relationship. It is evident that despite the playful teasing about his nickname, Bahati holds Diana in the highest regard and is proud of the journey they have had together.
Over the years, the nickname “Mtoto wa Diana” has been a point of conversation among fans, often bringing light-hearted humor to their relationship. However, Bahati has consistently shown his admiration for Diana, both publicly and privately, embracing the nickname with pride. Today, with their family growing stronger, the nickname serves as a reminder of their humble beginnings and the love that has blossomed between them.
Bahati and Diana are now the proud parents of four children, Heaven, Majesty, Malaika, and their adopted son, Morgan. They continue to serve as one of Kenya’s most celebrated power couples, and their journey from their first baby bump to now has been nothing short of inspiring.
As they recently marked their eighth anniversary, Bahati expressed his love through grand gestures, including gifting Diana money and even buying a car for her father. However, the most striking declaration of love came when he unveiled a tattoo of Diana’s name, cementing their bond and proving that their love story is one for the ages.
