The sight of Sarah Mtalii and Simon Kabu enjoying themselves in Tanzania has reignited public curiosity about the nature of their relationship. Once a power couple in the travel industry, their latest joint appearance has blurred the lines between personal and professional once again.
A video of the two dancing together on a yacht in Dar es Salaam recently circulated online, fueling rumors of a possible romantic reunion. It’s not the first time the pair has been seen together since their separation, but what makes this moment notable is the setting — a leisure trip abroad, coupled with visible camaraderie and mutual social media posts. For many, this raised the question: are they rekindling their relationship, or simply collaborating professionally?
The two co-founded one of Kenya’s top travel and tour companies, and their presence in Tanzania coincided with a major win for the business — being named Kenya’s Leading Tours and Travel Agency at a global travel awards ceremony. As such, it appears the trip was aligned with celebrating this achievement. Their activities, including yacht celebrations and viral dance moments, could easily be interpreted as part of a team celebration rather than a romantic getaway.
However, given the dramatic twists in their personal lives over the past year, the public’s curiosity is understandable. Earlier in the year, Sarah dropped her husband’s surname and began identifying as Sarah Mtalii, signaling a strong move toward independence. She also publicly shared her emotional journey, revealing that she had emotionally detached from the marriage as far back as 2022.
Legal tensions followed soon after. In June, Simon won a defamation case against Sarah, with the court barring her from making certain public statements. This came months after a former nanny sued the two, adding to the complexity surrounding their public image.
Despite these issues, the two seem capable of putting differences aside when it comes to business. Their joint presence at the awards and subsequent celebrations suggest a shared commitment to the continued success of their company. A post from their company’s official pages welcomed both of them back from the trip, highlighting a sense of team unity despite underlying personal issues.
Still, the lines remain blurry. The warmth captured in the videos — dancing and laughing together — doesn’t clearly confirm where they stand emotionally. With Sarah’s earlier statements strongly distancing herself from the relationship, and recent legal disputes still fresh, it’s hard to determine whether this reunion is paving the way for reconciliation or simply a strategic business alliance.
Until either of them addresses the matter directly, speculation is likely to continue. For now, what’s clear is that the two are prioritizing their brand and showing the world that they can still operate side by side, regardless of their past.
