Kenyan content creator Diana Marua has sparked online debate after stating that she would require financial compensation before agreeing to have another child with her husband, Kevin Bahati.
In a video shared on her social media platforms, Diana explained her position, saying she would be making a personal sacrifice to meet her husband’s desire for another child. “I am putting everything aside against my will to give you a child that you want,” she said, outlining the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy.
The remarks come amid reports circulating online that she had set a financial condition before considering expanding their family. Some social media posts claim she mentioned a figure running into millions of shillings, though the details have not been officially confirmed.
Diana and Bahati, who are among Kenya’s most visible celebrity couples, have often shared details of their family life with the public. Their relationship, which includes raising several children together, has frequently attracted attention, with both supporters and critics weighing in on their lifestyle and decisions.
The latest comments have triggered mixed reactions online. Some users have defended Diana, arguing that pregnancy and childbirth come with significant responsibilities that should be openly discussed between partners. Others have questioned the framing of financial compensation within a marriage.
Neither Diana nor Bahati has issued a detailed clarification beyond the statements shared on social media.
The discussion highlights broader conversations about family planning, financial expectations, and gender roles within relationships, particularly among public figures whose personal lives are closely followed by audiences online.
