Kenyan musician Kendi has shared what has helped her maintain a healthy relationship with fellow artist Timmy Tdat, saying honest communication and addressing issues early have strengthened their bond.
Speaking during an interview on Radio Maisha with presenters Clemmo and Kendi, the singer said the public only sees a carefully selected part of their relationship through social media.
Kenyan musician Kendi reveals hidden details about her relationship with Timmy Tdat on Radio Maisha, sharing secrets on handling conflict and social media.
Kendi revealed that she and Timmy dated for a full year before announcing their relationship publicly. According to her, keeping things private at the beginning gave them enough time to build trust and understand each other away from public attention.
“Before we made our relationship public, we had been together for one year,” she said.
She explained that social media does not reflect everything happening in their lives, noting that they only share what they choose to make public.
“What people do not know is that what we post on social media is exactly what we want people to see,” she said.
Kendi also spoke about balancing her career with her personal life, saying the person fans see online is different from who she is at home.
“The Kendi people see on social media is not the same person at home. Music is my job, but I also have a family. When I get home, I am simply Mama T,” she explained.
The singer said understanding each other’s careers has helped them navigate life in the entertainment industry, where public attention often comes with pressure.
She added that neither of them allows disagreements to linger. Whenever one is hurt, they discuss it immediately instead of letting resentment build.
“If he does something I don’t like, I tell him right away. If I go too far, he also tells me,” she said.
Kendi praised Timmy Tdat for taking responsibility whenever he is in the wrong, describing him as someone who apologises without hesitation.
Her remarks offered fans a rare glimpse into the couple’s private life, showing that open communication, mutual respect and honesty remain the foundation of their relationship despite the image they present online.
