The arrival of the couple’s first daughter together comes after quite the journey for Saumu, who revealed that her previous relationship had been abusive.
In an interview with Radio Jambo’s Massawe Japanni, the young mom spoke about experiencing violence in her near nine-month relationship with a popular city politician and businessman.
"We started as friends and dated for nine months and we broke up when I was heavily pregnant. He used to beat me and after sharing with friends, I went to my dad and told him 'I couldn't take it more. I know I've wronged you,' and he accepted me back as a father," said Saumu.
The firstborn of three in Sonko’s family said that on looking back at the failed relationship, she was naïve, rebellious and had a lot to learn.

She also revealed that her father was welcoming and supportive when she opened up about the abuse she had been going through.
"I was young and naive. I rushed to get married. I got into a relationship with Gatu after graduating. I wouldn't advise women to be in a toxic relationship, which will drag you emotionally. Don't allow violence in a relationship, “said Saumu.
