Pastor Victor Kanyari stirred emotional reactions online after sharing previously unseen throwback photos with the late gospel singer Betty Bayo. The images, posted on November 19, offer a glimpse into happier moments before their relationship ended, highlighting the bond they shared and the memories they created together.
Remembering Betty Bayo
During a recent church service, Kanyari described Betty as calm, caring, and irreplaceable, expressing that he has never met anyone like her. He emphasized the importance of their shared history and the role she played in his life, noting that she welcomed him into her family and fostered meaningful time with their children. He affirmed that he would rather remain alone than be with someone who mistreats him or their children.
Commitment to Their Children
Kanyari addressed ongoing discussions about custody, assuring the public that he is devoted to caring for his two children, Sky and Danny, especially while they are still mourning their mother. He dismissed claims of external interference and highlighted that his children remain his greatest motivation.
The Throwback Photos
The shared photos were taken during a past trip abroad. One shows the couple inside an elevator, with Betty wearing a red and white striped top and using her phone while listening to music, as Kanyari captured the image through the mirrored wall. Another image captures their visit to the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo in Thailand. The photos were posted without captions, allowing the visuals to speak for themselves.
Public Reactions
The throwback photos elicited mixed responses from Kenyans. Some expressed sympathy, acknowledging the complexity of grief, while others suggested Kanyari focus on private healing. Many noted that despite the divorce, the bond formed through their children will remain enduring and meaningful.
Children’s Education
Betty Bayo’s children currently attend Woodcreek School in Kiambu, which follows the British Curriculum and offers modern facilities along with diverse extracurricular activities. Sky, aged 13, is likely in Year 7, while nine-year-old Danny is in Year 2. The children’s total annual school fees, including additional charges, amount to approximately KSh 2.1 million, reflecting Kanyari’s commitment to providing a quality education for them.
