"No amount of money will change my mind": Judy Nyawira on not having more children

Judy Nyawira, the wife of popular Kenyan actor and content creator Abel Mutua, has made it clear that she has no intention of having another child. 

During a Q&A session with her husband, Abel humorously asked if she would consider having another baby if offered a large sum of money. However, Judy remained steadfast in her decision.

When asked if she would have another child for Sh100 million, Judy firmly replied, "To be completely honest, no. I can’t. That chapter is completely closed, and I don’t think money would change that." 

Even when Abel increased the offer to Sh200 million, Judy's answer remained: "My answer would still be no. It sounds like ‘but you have the money to raise the child,’ but that’s not the point. Yes, I have money now, but I still don’t think so."

Abel, while respecting his wife's decision, admitted that he might consider having another child if offered Sh500 million, as he feels the pressure on him isn't as intense as it is for Judy. 

He explained, "For me, it would be okay because I don’t feel the pressure as much as it is for you. You know, a man’s main responsibility is to ensure the child is well taken care of, and if I had Sh500 million, we would hire everyone, even a worker who has their deputy. We’d create jobs."

In a previous podcast, Judy opened up about her challenging experience with postpartum depression after the birth of their daughter, Mumbus. 

She recounted a distressing moment just a week after giving birth, saying, "I remember waking up one morning, and there was blood coming out from everywhere...”

“I remember telling them to take the baby away and that I did not want to see the baby. Postpartum was not something that was talked about, and it was also not popular. I did experience some serious postpartum depression."

Abel also shared his perspective on the emotional turmoil he faced during Judy's childbirth. 

He described it as a scarring experience, saying, "It left me scarred. I hate the feeling of being helpless, seeing you in pain, and knowing I can't help kills me... But it has been 14 years."
