Kenyan singer Kevin Bahati and his baby mama, Yvette Obura, are showing the country what mature co-parenting looks like. On Saturday, August 2, the duo turned heads after Bahati made a surprise appearance at the launch of Yvette’s new barbershop and spa, Golden Kinsmen, located at Lenana Mini Mall in the upmarket Kilimani area of Nairobi.
The high-end grooming hub officially opened its doors in a vibrant event that saw comedian Exodus emceeing and Bahati himself performing his popular hit Adhiambo. Guests were treated to a lively atmosphere of music, laughter, and celebration, but the moment that stole the show was Bahati taking to the stage in support of Yvette’s milestone. Yvette, visibly thrilled, took to her Instagram Stories to share a clip of Bahati’s performance, captioning it simply, “Guess who showed up,” along with heart emojis.
Bahati also shared the news with his followers on Instagram, urging fans to visit the stylish new establishment and even sweetened the deal with a discount offer. “Today I launched The @goldenkinsmen Barbershop and Salon alongside my boys @majestybahati and @morgan_bahati,” he wrote. “Take your haircuts to the next level with royalty and state-of-the-art equipment. Walk in like a boy, walk out like the gentleman that you are. Visit them today at Lenana Road Mini Mall, Kilimani na uwashow umetumwa na Bahati for a discount.”
The public show of support has drawn praise from fans who admire the cordial relationship between Bahati and Yvette, despite their past. The two share a daughter, Mueni Bahati, and have consistently demonstrated that their priority is raising her in a loving and stable environment. Bahati, now married to content creator Diana Marua, has managed to strike a balance between fatherhood and fostering unity among the women in his life.
In fact, Diana and Yvette have built a strong and respectful friendship. They are often seen bonding during shared family activities, with fans regularly praising their co-parenting dynamic. Whether it’s birthday celebrations, school events, or simple hangouts, the two women appear committed to providing a seamless experience for their daughters.
One memorable moment was when Diana recreated a touching photo with Mueni and Yvette for Mueni’s ninth birthday — a clear display of harmony and mutual respect. Yvette has also shared adorable moments with Diana’s children. In a viral clip, she taught Diana’s daughter, Heaven, how to make a burger from scratch, showing just how blended their families have become.
With the successful launch of Golden Kinsmen, Yvette Obura not only cements herself as a thriving entrepreneur but also sets an example of how grace, cooperation, and mutual support can prevail after a breakup. Bahati’s surprise appearance and vocal encouragement have added a layer of public admiration for how he continues to show up — not just as a father, but as a reliable friend and partner in co-parenting.
Fans now have a new go-to spot for grooming, and Golden Kinsmen is off to a golden start, backed by a family dynamic many aspire to emulate.
