At 22 years old, Yvette Obura's dream was to finish campus and pursue a career. But that plan died when she got pregnant with Bahati's child.

In an interview with Massawe Japanni, Yvette said,

"My dad did not talk to me for two years. he was like, you have disappointed me, you are my favourite kid, you did well in school why did you do this to me?"

Adding,

"Well, ikishafanyika ishafanyika. By then, I was in the university already when it happened I had to discontinue. I was so easy with the situation, but to him, being the military dad, he was feeling disappointed, he was like look at your elder sisters? Nothing like this has happened."

Yvette revealed that she comes from a family of 14 kids. Talking about coming from a polygamous family, Yvette said,

"For us, it was very easy because my dad was very insistent on cohesion whether you like it or not."

Her mother is the second wife and they are 4 children in their family. She said that that family dynamic has guided her in co-parenting with Bahati with minimal drama.

"I feel like growing up in such a family set up has helped me raise my child in a blended family."
