Nominated senator Karen Nyamu was overjoyed as her son with Mugithi musician Samidoh celebrated his fifth birthday. Nyamu, a mother of three, has always been deeply devoted to her children, and she marked the milestone with heartfelt celebrations and touching tributes to her young son, Sam Junior.
Family Background
Nyamu has three children in total. Her firstborn is with DJ Saint Kevinsky, while her last two were fathered by Samidoh Muchoki. In the past, the musician faced criticism for not publicly acknowledging his children on special occasions, though he used to be very affectionate with them during his relationship with Nyamu.
Heartfelt Birthday Tributes
During her celebrations, Nyamu shared a heartfelt message for her son, describing him as a “gentleman” who loves her purely. She expressed the magic she felt in having a son and reflected on the special bond they share. She highlighted his kindness, honesty, energy, love for cars and swimming, and his protective nature towards her, writing: “Happy 5th birthday to my little gentleman! My sweet boy, who loves me so purely, covers me with blankets, brings me flowers from our garden, protects me, and just wants to see me happy. I never knew having a son was this magical. You’re growing so handsome and cutie. I thank God for the bond, the friendship, and the love only a son can give. Happy birthday, baby.”
Co-Parenting Challenges
The senator has previously hinted that co-parenting with Samidoh has had its challenges, as feelings from their past relationship remained complicated. Despite this, Nyamu has shown patience and grace, believing that healing takes time and that relationships evolve.
Fan Celebrations and Well-Wishes
Fans and well-wishers joined in celebrating Sam Junior’s special day. Many praised Nyamu for her dedication to her children and showered the young boy with birthday blessings. Comments ranged from admiration of the child’s growth to appreciation for the mother’s loving words.
Family Support from Afar
In a separate gesture, Samidoh’s family surprised Sam Junior with a pre-recorded message during a performance, showing their love and support despite living apart. His wife, Edday Nderitu, and children—Shirleen, Michael, and Nimo—sent warm birthday wishes, highlighting the bond they continue to maintain from afar after relocating to the US in 2023.
A Mother’s Dedication
Karen Nyamu’s celebration of Sam Junior underscores her dedication as a mother and the special connection she shares with her children, a bond she cherishes deeply and continues to nurture with love, guidance, and heartfelt moments.
