Kenyan songstress Avril Nyambura is expecting her second child, sharing the exciting news with fans on social media. The celebrated artist, known for hits like Chokoza and Nikimuona, posted a heartfelt message: “Here we go again. #GratitudeSpace.”
Outpouring of Love and Support
Following the announcement, an overwhelming wave of congratulations flooded her comment section. Fellow celebrities and fans alike expressed their joy and excitement.
One fan humorously commented, “I’m still not giving up on you, even if you get to five kids!” while another nostalgically recalled, “You made my high school life the best on the magazines… can’t believe you’re pregnant now!” Others playfully speculated about whether the visible bump was “kitambi (belly fat) or the work of boychild.” Another cheeky fan declared, “Finally, I’m going to be a father!”
The response highlighted the admiration and love that continues to surround Avril.
A Comeback to the Spotlight
This revelation comes just weeks after the singer reemerged in the public eye following a brief hiatus. She recently opened up about stepping back from music to focus on her business ventures.
“I have not been as active because I started a company, and I have to take care of it,” she explained. “Artistry has always been in me—I haven’t left music. I also act.”
The Challenges of Motherhood
Avril has been open about the highs and lows of motherhood, describing it as one of the most demanding yet rewarding journeys of her life.
“When my son was a day old, that’s when it hit me that I no longer had a say—it would always be about him,” she once shared.
She recalled struggling with exhaustion in the early days, saying, “In the beginning, I was a walking zombie because I wasn’t getting enough sleep. Even now, I survive on very little sleep while also chasing my dreams.”
Her first pregnancy was a deeply personal experience, initially kept under wraps despite widespread speculation. Avril revealed the news on her own terms, emphasizing, “It was going to be in my time, on my terms,never anyone else’s.”
In the past, she has also spoken about her struggles with fibroids, which made conceiving more difficult. “I had two fibroids when I was pregnant, and the doctors speculated that this could have been the reason it took me longer to conceive,” she shared.
Plans for a Growing Family
Recently, Avril hinted at her hopes to expand her family while acknowledging the rising costs of raising children.
“They say right now only rich people are having kids because the cost of raising a child is crazy,” she remarked. “But I would love to have two or three so that my firstborn has siblings.”
Before the birth of her first child, she penned an emotional message:
“My M, what a ride we’ve had, and now an even more exciting one begins… I’m humbled that you chose me. Thank you, my love. I will love you and protect you now and forever. That is my promise to you.”
Keeping Her Private Life Private
While Avril has been open about motherhood, she has chosen to keep the identity of her child’s father undisclosed.
Speculation has linked her to music producer J Blessing, but she has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. Addressing the speculation, she once stated, “If at any one point in time I feel like talking about the father of my child, I will, but at this particular time, I don’t think it’s necessary.”
As she embarks on this new chapter, fans eagerly await more glimpses into her journey while respecting her decision to keep some aspects of her life private.
