Kanyari’s Kids Return Home After Trip To UK Amid Custody Truce

In a heartwarming scene that has captured the attention of the Kenyan public, Sky Victor and Dani Victor returned to Kenya in the early hours of Sunday, January 11, 2026, following a multi-week trip to the United Kingdom. Their arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) served as a rare public display of unity between their biological father, Pastor Victor Kanyari, and their stepfather, Hiram “Tash” Gitau, marking a potential turning point in a complex and emotional family saga.

The children had been in the UK visiting family friends—a trip that provided a much-needed reprieve from the intense public spotlight following the tragic death of their mother, celebrated gospel singer Betty Bayo, on November 10, 2025. Social media was quickly flooded with emotional footage of the homecoming, capturing the moment the children were reunited with the two main father figures in their lives. In the clips, Dani was seen sharing a warm embrace with Tash, while Sky ran into her father’s arms. Observers noted the calm and cooperative demeanor of both men as Pastor Kanyari helped with the luggage, a stark contrast to the friction that has dominated headlines for months. Pastor Kanyari later took to his own platforms to share the moment, simply captioning it, “Welcome back my kids,” a post that was met with thousands of supportive comments from Kenyans urging the two men to prioritize the children’s stability.

The children’s return marks a significant chapter in a custody dispute that began shortly after Betty Bayo’s passing from leukemia. Following her burial on November 20, 2025, a public debate erupted over who should assume primary guardianship. While the children had been living with Tash at their family home in Edenville, Pastor Kanyari had publicly expressed a desire for a more formal parenting role, even revealing plans to move them into a newly acquired property in Nairobi. These intentions were met with mixed reactions, particularly after Kanyari previously claimed the children had been “hostile” toward him during their initial period of grief.

Despite the past public disagreements—including debates over the wisdom of airing family matters online—the airport reunion signals a potential de-escalation of tensions. Family friends described the UK visit as both fun and productive, noting that Sky and Dani spent time filming YouTube content and experiencing life abroad, including their first snowfall. Now back on Kenyan soil, the focus shifts toward their long-term welfare as they navigate life without their mother, supported by a “blended family” that appears, for now, to have found common ground.
