This milestone has been a source of immense pride and gratitude for both parents, who have worked hard to maintain a positive co-parenting relationship over the years, despite their past romantic relationship.
Mueni, whose full name is Yvanna Mueni Bahati, was born on November 29, 2015, and has since grown into a bright and joyful young girl. Both Bahati and Yvette have taken to social media to express their gratitude for the blessing of having Mueni in their lives. The birthday celebration has sparked an outpouring of love from both parents, highlighting their ongoing support and admiration for their daughter.
Bahati, who has shared numerous moments of joy with his daughter, posted a carousel of photos on his Instagram account showing Mueni holding a large number 9 balloon. In the photos, Mueni radiates happiness, a reflection of the love and care surrounding her on her special day. In his heartfelt message, Bahati expressed his amazement at how fast his daughter had grown.
“Loooook at Youuuuuuu. You are now a Biiig Girl! My Daughter @Mueni_Bahati, I can’t believe you have turned 9 today; I just realized I am getting Old. Happy Birthday, Princess,” the musician wrote. His post was filled with gratitude for the joy Mueni has brought into his life and served as a reminder of how quickly time passes. He also asked his followers to join him in wishing Mueni a happy birthday.
Yvette Obura, who has played an instrumental role in raising Mueni, also shared an emotional tribute on social media. Reflecting on the day Mueni was born, Yvette expressed how much joy and pride her daughter has brought to her life. In her heartfelt post, she recalled the moment Mueni was born and how she had been a source of light ever since.
“29:11:2015, I brought life into this world, and she was named Yvanna Mueni Bahati. 9 years later we are here,” Yvette wrote. Her words were filled with deep love and admiration for her daughter, and she went on to wish Mueni a blessed year ahead, asking for God’s protection and guidance over her life.
“Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter! Watching you grow has been the greatest joy of my life. You fill our world with so much love, laughter, and pride. May the good Lord protect you, guide you and always watch over you. May His face always shine upon you and may His finger of blessings never depart from you,” she continued in her post. The message reflected the strong bond Yvette shares with her daughter, who she describes as an essential part of her life.
In addition to her post, Yvette shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, showing herself and Mueni preparing for the birthday celebrations. The video captured their playful moments together, and Yvette’s caption provided a glimpse into her deep emotional connection with her daughter. “With you, I’ve learned that home is not a place—it’s a feeling. It’s the love and laughter we share, and no matter where life takes us, you will always be my safe space, my comfort, and my home,” she wrote.
Yvette also expressed gratitude for the eight years she had spent with Mueni, highlighting the deep bond that continues to grow between mother and daughter.
Bahati, despite his busy schedule, has been a dedicated father to all his children, including his four other kids with aspiring musician and YouTuber Diana Marua.
