The entertainment scene has once again turned its attention to Carol Sonnie, the ex-girlfriend of comedian Mulamwah, after she shared a thoughtful and somewhat cryptic response to recent comments made by Ruth K, Mulamwah’s current partner. In an interview, Ruth K expressed her openness to building a relationship with Sonnie, especially for the sake of their children, Kalamz and Keilah. While Ruth K’s message seemed warm and inclusive, Sonnie’s response indicated a more complex perspective, hinting at the emotional baggage tied to her past with Mulamwah. This new chapter of blended family dynamics has stirred conversations, with fans taking sides and speculating about whether a peaceful resolution is on the horizon or if past hurts will keep the families divided.
The Background: Carol Sonnie, Mulamwah, and Ruth K
To fully understand the situation, we need to look back at the relationship between Carol Sonnie and Mulamwah, who were once one of Kenya’s most beloved celebrity couples. The two dated for several years and welcomed their daughter, Keilah, in 2021. However, their relationship hit the rocks, leading to a highly publicized and emotionally charged breakup that left their fans divided. Following their separation, Mulamwah quickly moved on with Ruth K, and the speed of his new relationship fueled rumors of infidelity and betrayal.
Carol Sonnie was open about the heartbreak she endured after their split, and the fact that Mulamwah and Ruth K went public so soon after only intensified the scrutiny. Sonnie, who had been a rising star on her own, suddenly found herself thrust into the spotlight in a new, less flattering role: the heartbroken ex. The situation was particularly painful because of how connected she was to Mulamwah through their daughter, making it difficult to fully sever ties.
Fast forward to 2024, and the narrative has shifted slightly. Ruth K and Mulamwah are now a prominent couple, and Ruth has stepped into her role as stepmother to Keilah. However, Ruth’s recent interview, in which she mentioned Sonnie, reignited public interest in the trio’s dynamics.
Ruth K’s Proposal for a Blended Family
During the interview, Ruth K touched on the sensitive topic of co-parenting and her desire for the children to form a bond. She expressed her hope that Kalamz, her child with Mulamwah, and Keilah, Mulamwah’s daughter with Sonnie, could grow up knowing each other. Ruth K spoke with warmth and positivity, sharing that she wanted the children to have a strong sibling connection.
“I want Kalamz to play with Keilah and form a bond. I will make an effort to bring us together as a family,” Ruth K said in the interview, suggesting that the idea of a blended family was one that she fully embraced. She acknowledged that the children share a father and hoped that Sonnie would support this vision.
On the surface, Ruth K’s comments seemed sincere and focused on the well-being of the children. Many fans of the couple applauded her for extending an olive branch and for trying to foster a healthy, supportive environment for the children. However, others were quick to point out that the emotional weight of the past could make Sonnie’s cooperation difficult.
Carol Sonnie’s Response: A Nuanced Rejection?
After Ruth K’s interview, fans eagerly awaited Carol Sonnie’s response, and it came in a subtle, yet telling, Instagram post. Sonnie’s reply was layered with metaphor and implied a deeper emotional struggle beneath the surface. Instead of directly addressing Ruth K’s proposal, Sonnie said, “I received many links to the video. In every situation, you give glory to God because some things don’t need to be discussed. No one talks about something rotten, but when you see something good, like a strawberry, you want to talk about it. Can you discuss a rotten egg?”
This cryptic remark quickly sparked conversation among her followers. Sonnie seemed to imply that the relationship with Ruth K, or perhaps even the suggestion of a blended family, was akin to something “rotten”—unworthy of discussion or acknowledgment. Her metaphor of a “rotten egg” stood in stark contrast to Ruth K’s rosy vision of unity, signaling that Sonnie may not be interested in engaging with the idea of a blended family.
Sonnie’s fans were quick to dissect her response, with many pointing out that her reluctance to embrace Ruth K’s proposal likely stems from the unresolved pain of her breakup with Mulamwah. The swiftness with which Mulamwah moved on after their relationship ended, coupled with the public nature of their separation, undoubtedly left Sonnie with emotional scars. The timing of Mulamwah’s new relationship with Ruth K created an atmosphere of suspicion and betrayal, and for Sonnie, it appears that the past is far from being forgotten.
The Public’s Reaction: Fans Take Sides
As is often the case with celebrity drama, fans of both Carol Sonnie and Ruth K have taken to social media to voice their opinions. On one side, supporters of Sonnie argue that her reluctance to engage with Ruth K’s proposal is completely understandable, given her history with Mulamwah. They argue that Sonnie is justified in her feelings of hurt and that it would be unreasonable to expect her to quickly forgive and embrace a blended family dynamic when the wounds of her breakup are still fresh.
“I wouldn’t want to be part of that family either,” one fan commented on a YouTube video discussing the issue. “After what she went through with Mulamwah, she has every right to stay away.”
On the other hand, fans of Ruth K and Mulamwah have praised Ruth for her maturity and her willingness to prioritize the children’s well-being. They argue that Sonnie should set aside her personal feelings for the sake of her daughter, Keilah, and focus on ensuring that the children have a healthy sibling relationship.
“Ruth K is right to want the kids to know each other,” another commenter noted. “At the end of the day, it’s about the children, not the adults.”
Can the Rift Be Healed?
Whether or not Carol Sonnie will eventually come around to the idea of a blended family remains to be seen. It’s clear from her response that she is still processing the emotional fallout from her breakup with Mulamwah, and her reluctance to engage with Ruth K may stem from a desire to protect herself from further hurt.
While Ruth K’s intentions may be genuine, it’s important to acknowledge that healing from a difficult breakup takes time, and Sonnie’s lukewarm response should not be viewed as a rejection of the idea entirely. Instead, it may simply indicate that Sonnie is not yet ready to take that step.
As with many blended families, time may eventually heal the wounds, and a positive co-parenting relationship could emerge. For now, though, it seems that the rift between Carol Sonnie and Ruth K remains, and only time will tell if they can find common ground for the sake of their children.
