Kenya's 2018 power couple, Kate the actress and Phil have alot of lessons for young couples.

Phil opened up in an interview with True Love magazine on how he feared being a father to Kate's child. He narrates the first day Kate's son called him dad, he was at the dining table reading when his son called him dad and called him again thinking he couldn't hear.

He said:

i was sitting at the dinning table reading,and for a moment i thought i was imagining things i even decided to ignore him altogether until he said it again. he called me dad

Phil describes that moment as a scary moment because he wasn't sure he was going to be a good dad and so the emotions running through his mind were way too many.

A lot of questions ran through his mind especially when it comes to disciplining him -in the event they do not agree on a course of action- basically, how he was going to manage to be a dad and a good dad for that matter.

He said:

i was scared. i had many emotions going on,was i going to be a good dad? how was i going to do it?would i finally figure it out? would i punch him when we cannot come into an agreement? would i be good? because you only have one chance to make it right with kids. i was initially scared and happy at the same time.

Well, after that he created a safe space for the whole family because just after that moment, Kate decided she was ready to be married to the love of her life and the father of her child.
