From the outside, their life looked like a dream. Beautiful vacations, matching outfits, big cars and public displays of love. But behind the social media smiles, Sarah Kabu was living a different reality—one she now admits was built on silent struggles.
Sarah recently spoke about the truth behind her 15-year marriage to Simon Kabu. Many knew them as one of Kenya’s most admired couples. But away from the cameras, she says she often felt trapped in a life that didn’t reflect how she truly felt. How many people are silently enduring while trying to keep up appearances?
According to Sarah, the pressure to maintain a perfect image weighed heavily on her. Even when things were falling apart, she smiled for the photos and said the right words during interviews. But privately, she was saving not just money—but also the strength to walk away when the time came.
She shared that she saved up for five years to buy herself a Range Rover Sport, not just as a gift, but as a symbol of independence and freedom. It marked a turning point where she began to prioritize her peace and stop pretending.
In this Source she reflects on how hard it was to admit her marriage was not working. Over time, the emotional distance, the sacrifices, and the effort to hide her pain took a toll.
Now, Sarah says she’s focused on healing, raising her children, and building her own life with more honesty and less pressure. She hopes her experience encourages others, especially women, to put themselves first and not feel guilty for choosing their own well-being.
Her story has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising her bravery and others questioning why she stayed so long. But in the end, it’s a reminder that what we see online is not always the full picture.
