In a Q&A session with her Instagram followers, while responding to a fan who asked what happened between her and Gatu, she said,

Shit happens, you know? It's just a thing with young people... It's normal! And honestly, the truth is I should be angry, resentful and disillusioned about relationships but I'm not. Love did not work with that person. But it can work with another.

Responding to another fan who asked the same question, the governor's daughter said;

Not all relationships are meant to have a 'happily ever after.'

Wanja and Gatu served us couple goals and another follower asked how they were fairing on. 'I know this is personal but are you and Gatu still together? You were goals.'

She responded;

No we aren't... maybe we were 'goals' because we only showed you our highs and that's the thing with social media... no one posts their 'failures'.

The young mother also revealed that she has never co-parented with her baby daddy saying,

Unfortunately, I have no experience in that but I always admire parents who continue sharing parental responsibilities even after their relationship has failed. That's maturity at its best.

Recently, singer Diamond Platnumz reunited with his father after 20 years and when asked if she would allow her daughter and dad to do the same she said;

He chose not to be in his daughter's life. I would present that fact to my daughter for her to make a decision whether or not to let him in. Even the Bible tells us we have the power to choose life or death.

Gatu's baby mama Saumu Mbuvi moved on after they broke up and she's currently engaged to someone else.
