But as with most viral Kenyan moments, the conversation did not stop at praise. Some users playfully questioned whether announcements like these should always be taken at face value. “Sai wasichana kuwaamini… unaeza pata ata alibuy kitten anamaanisha cat mom,” one user quipped, suggesting the need for caution when interpreting online revelations.
The tone shifted back to warmth and humour as fans linked the announcement to everyday struggles, relationships, and even football rivalries. “Hii baridi usiache iende waste,” another follower joked, reflecting the cultural tendency to tie such news to Nairobi’s chilly season. Others used the occasion to poke fun at Arsenal and Manchester United supporters, dragging football chatter into the mix.

The online frenzy around her announcement underscores the unique blend of support and satire that defines Kenyan digital spaces. As one fan put it simply: “Kriswiththebabyyy.”
