Judy Nyawira, wife of actor Abel Mutua, shares her battle with postpartum depression
Actor Abel Mutua’s wife, Judy Nyawira, has openly discussed her experience of suffering from postpartum depression just one week after giving birth.
Looking back on her early parenthood experience, Judy revealed that, because she was so young when she became a mother, she didn’t really understand what postpartum depression was.
As she was getting ready to go back to school, she talked about the overwhelming circumstance that happened in the second week following childbirth.
“I remember waking up one morning, and there was blood coming out from everywhere. I remember, I wailed and screamed, and I woke the baby, and the baby started crying. I sat on the floor. I remember Abel coming in very quickly, his sister who had come to stay with us, and the nanny. I remember telling them to take the baby away and that I did not want to see the baby. Postpartum was not something that was talked about, and it was also not popular. I did experience some serious postpartum depression,” Judy shared during the podcast interview.
Judy’s sincere confession clarifies a major matter that is frequently taboo in society.
Judy Nyawira has already shared details about her path to motherhood, including the fact that she fell pregnant more than ten years ago while enrolled in the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC).
Judy recalled that her initial pregnancy suspicions occurred in her third year of college, during an interview with presenter Oga Obinna.
“A week before we closed school, I had started to feel strange. I felt that my body was not normal. I started to feel that there was something here. The morning sickness had not yet started,” Judy recalled.
She continued, “Two weeks after I got home, I started to feel bad. I saw there is something here, there must be something here. There was no morning sickness yet, but I was already starting to feel something. So, we talked (with Abel) and I told him what I felt, there is someone inside this stomach. Sometimes women say they can’t tell when they are pregnant, but I felt it.”
Judy revealed that by the time she became more concerned, she was already five weeks pregnant.
During her time at home, she confided in Abel about her concerns, and he advised her to find a way to return to Nairobi, suggesting she devise a reason to share with her mother.
For the first time, renowned Kenyan artist Mr. Lenny has discussed the breakdown of his marriage.
He talked about his experience on the Iko Nini podcast.
” I believe that our marriage broke because both of us had issues the main one being finances.
I get money from events but during Covid-19 there were no events.
My job which was also struggling before closed completely.”
Lenny says the pressure on his wife to provide worked against them.
“It became a rift because my wife was the one paying off the bills.
The jobs were very rare and when they did, the money would be used to clear debts.
Eventually, she wanted out.” He says he did his best
“I am not perfect and I have sometimes I have made bad decisions.
Sometimes she would receive pressure from her friends, and the comparison of our relationship with others didn’t help.
“Covid-19 went on for two years and at some point, she felt like I would never recover.”
Lenny says with time he has picked the broken pieces of his life.
Following a well-publicized disagreement with her longtime partner and baby daddy, Jibril Blessing, sometimes known as J Blessing, singer Judith Nyambura Mwangi, also known as Avril, deleted her Instagram account.
Social media is in a frenzy due to the occurrence, shocking fans and followers.
On November 15, 2023, Avril, whose Instagram account had over 2 million followers, vanished from the popular platform following a string of postings and removals.
The singer tweeted a since-deleted photo of herself with a battered face, which alarmed her fans and started the frenzy.
As the photo went viral, the couple’s turbulent relationship came to light, leading Avril to subsequently resurface on social media and profess her forgiveness of J Blessing.
In a plea to the public, she urged Kenyans to extend the same grace to her partner.
J Blessing confirmed the fight in a later statement and expressed his displeasure about their private lives being made public.
The statement disclosed that the pair had decided to part ways amicably after seven years of dating.
Both participants apparently sustained injuries during the physical altercation, necessitating medical attention.
J Blessing explained that one of the pictures Avril shared was from an earlier confrontation that happened almost a year ago.
Accepting responsibility for the event, he emphasized that he rushed Avril to Aga Khan Hospital for medical attention.
“I sincerely apologize for any harm I have caused Avril or any other person. I am not innocent, but I would like to clarify a few things. About a year ago, we had a physical altercation where we both got hurt and on that day, I immediately took her to the hospital at Aga Khan. I take full responsibility for that moment of weakness. One of the pictures she posted is from that incident,” he explained in his statement.
The couple’s split announcement has left the public in shock and sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans expressing a range of emotions, from sympathy to disappointment.
President William Ruto found himself on the edge of a fall on Monday at the National Tree Planting Day celebration at the Kiu Wetland in Makueni County.
The unexpected event, which lasted for a few seconds, occurred when the President bent to place soil around the base of the recently planted tree.
His gumboot-clad foot sank into the muddy, water-filled depression where the tree had been planted as the ground, softened by the previous rains, betrayed his step.
The President was a few steps away from his aides, who moved quickly and urgently to break the possible stumble as the President struggled to restore his balance.

President Ruto handled the stressful occasion with poise, making light of the situation and continuing the ceremonial tree planting.
The President is heard saying to his guards, who were holding him, “wachana na mimi bwana” in the footage that captures the event, which caused his security and the spectators to burst into laughing.
Viewers’ reactions to the image were mixed, ranging from a touch of enjoyment at the fleeting precariousness of the situation to fear for the President’s safety.
