Popular content creator Robert Ndegwa, alias Thee Pluto and his long-term girlfriend, Felicity Shiru, are expectant.
The couple shared the news via Instagram and disclosed they had learnt of their pregnancy a while back but chose to keep it to themselves.
According to Thee Pluto, their decision to keep the pregnancy news private was mutual until recently when Felicity changed her mind. In his explanation, keeping everything low-key would have prevented netizens from interfering with their relationship by giving their unsolicited advice.
“It is true we are pregnant. We have different reasons why we didn’t want to make the pregnancy announcement at an early stage. As much as we wanted to share with our fans, I just felt we needed that little privacy. Initially we weren’t meant to announce it all until she convinced me and I finally agreed.
“Main reason I didn’t want to announce was because there is a policy on social media where when people announce they are dating, they tend to lean in on other people’s advice and unfortunately take everything in and end up breaking up. I felt if we could do it privately it would be better because this is a family,” he said.
Elated fans expressed excitement at the news going on to wish them well in their new journey.
The couple’s announcement comes just months after they rekindled their love after a sudden split, with Thee Pluto claiming Felicity was not ready to put in the work to make their relationship work.
“When you want to spent the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. A lifetime with them should be exciting. But what if I’m the only one who pictures that life with that someone and even if that someone pictures a life with me if doesn’t excite her,” wrote the content creator.
However, not long after, they announced their reconciliation.
“We are back together na tunapendana,” Felicity said.
“We are almost two weeks, na hakuna kubebana ujinga,” added Thee Pluto.
A few months ago, the duo’s relationship came under public scrutiny following a prank Felicity pulled on Thee Pluto, pretending she had knocked their car while driving on the Highway.
According to Thee Pluto, many people attacked him for his reaction accusing him of not caring about Felicity enough to know about her wellbeing before questioning her about the car incident.
Defending himself, Thee Pluto stated that he felt disrespected since he had initially told his girlfriend not to drive on the Highway until she got better at driving.
“I took it as a matter of disrespect. For me to ask her didn’t I tell you not to drive on the highway? There is something people don’t know out there….men what they require most is two things. That is peace and respect. If you respect a man he trades that respect with love. Not that she didn’t respect me, that was a prank. Most of you attacked me because I didn’t ask if she was okay yet when I received the call and she reported the car was hit not her,” he explained.
