Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s eldest daughter Saumu Mbuvi and her first baby daddy Benson Gatu were not on good terms when they parted ways in 2017.
Sonko’s daughter revealed that her baby daddy had become abusive, forcing her to leave him during the third trimester of her pregnancy.
However, Ben Gatu has redeemed himself over the years and is now a loving father to their daughter.
Unlike Saumu’s other baby daddy Senator Anwar Loitiptip, Ben Gatu supports his child’s financial needs.
In a Q&A session on Instagram, Saumu disclosed that the two are currently on good terms and that they respect each other.
“I have a good relationship with Gatu, we respect each other, and he always has my back,” wrote Saumu.
Saumu and Ben met while studying at JKUAT. When they separated, Sonko’s daughter accused Gatu of using her and other politician’s daughters as a ladder for his aspirations.
In a past interview, Saumu claimed that she started dating Gatu at 21, and being naïve, she thought the relationship would lead to marriage.
Sadly, the affair damaged her, putting her on depression pills for a while.
