Carol Sonnie Explains Why She Allowed Mulamwah to See Their Daughter After Breakup

Carol Sonnie has opened up about her decision to allow comedian Mulamwah to see their daughter, Keilah, despite their widely publicized and difficult breakup. Speaking on a YouTube show on Monday, December 15, 2025, Sonnie made it clear that her choice was guided by one priority above all else: the well-being of their child.

“After hapa najua nakuja kulimwa vita. Vita na wanawake…they don’t understand,” she said during the interview. She went on to explain the deeper reason behind her decision, stating, “Let me tell you something. For me to come to an agreement or even for me to allow you kukuja kuona mtoto wako, it is because, honestly speaking, Keilah is not part of our differences. I would rather put the differences aside so that Keilah has the best of everything.”

Sonnie acknowledged that co-parenting is not easy, especially after a painful separation, but emphasized that personal conflicts must be set aside when a child is involved. She noted that regardless of what transpired between her and Mulamwah, Keilah’s relationship with her father remains important and deserves to be protected.

Why did Carol Sonnie choose co-parenting despite the breakup?

According to Sonnie, seeing the bond between Keilah and her father reinforced her belief that she made the right decision. She recalled the moment Mulamwah and Keilah reunited after a long time apart, describing how natural their connection felt.

“You have seen Keilah today, after a very long time. Kuna kitu…the bond ilikua. I was like, “Aii, kwani mnajuana?” she said, reflecting on the interaction.

That moment stood out to her as a reminder that children form emotional connections that go beyond adult disagreements. For Sonnie, denying Keilah the chance to build that bond would mean placing unresolved issues above her daughter’s emotional growth.

Why prioritising the child comes first in co-parenting

Carol admitted that witnessing the father-daughter bond was emotional for her as a mother. “The bond, the everything, also me as a mother, I was like…ohh…so this is what this girl has been missing a lot,” she said.

She explained that allowing Mulamwah to spend time with Keilah requires personal sacrifice and maturity. The decision, she noted, is not about easing tensions between adults but about ensuring Keilah experiences the presence, love, and guidance of both parents. Sonnie stressed that children should never carry the burden of adult conflicts.

“Keilah is not part of our differences,” she repeated, reinforcing her stance that a child’s needs must always come first.

Carol also reflected on the ongoing challenges of co-parenting and the emotional balance it demands. She acknowledged that moments like seeing Keilah interact with her father remind her why these sacrifices matter. Despite lingering differences with Mulamwah, her focus remains firmly on providing Keilah with stability, love, and the opportunity to grow up with meaningful relationships on both sides.

Her remarks highlight the realities of modern co-parenting, showing that even after a messy breakup, choosing the child’s best interests can lead to healthier outcomes for everyone involved.
