Bizarre exchange between Simon Kabu and Sarah mtalii about mystery date he brought to end year party

Bonfire Adventures co-founder Sarah Njoki, famously known as Sarah Mtalii, has once again set the internet buzzing after opening up about her ex-husband, Simon Kabu, more than a year after their very public breakup.

Once celebrated as Kenya’s ultimate power couple, the duo watched their fairy-tale marriage collapse under the glare of social media, turning their private struggles into national conversation. Now, just when the dust seemed to have settled, the former lovers are back at the centre of fresh drama.

Hand-Holding Drama at Staff Party

The latest buzz erupted at Bonfire Adventures’ end-of-year staff party, where an awkward encounter instantly reignited gossip.

Guests were left stunned when Simon made a grand entrance holding hands with a glamorous woman, sparking whispers that he had already moved on. Things got even more uncomfortable when Simon, the mystery woman and Sarah briefly posed for a photo together — with onlookers noting Sarah’s telling side-eye before she looked away.

Social media went into overdrive.

Simon later moved quickly to put out the fire, insisting the woman was his niece, Pauline Mwaura, a tour consultant at Bonfire Adventures. But Sarah wasn’t entirely convinced by the optics.

“Why would you hold hands like that in front of us? What were we supposed to think?” she asked pointedly.

Simon defended himself, brushing off the drama and insisting he has nothing to hide.

“I am an adult. I wouldn’t do things out of context. Relax. When the time comes, I’ll be the first to tell you,” he said, adding that Sarah was not upset by the incident.

Sarah’s Shocking Prayer Leaves Netizens Talking

Just when many expected fireworks, Sarah dropped a bombshell that left fans stunned.

She revealed she actually prays for Simon — asking God to bless him with a good partner, all for the sake of their children.

“I pray for you every day that you may find a good person who will not disturb my kids,” she said.

The unexpected confession sent social media into a frenzy, with fans split down the middle. Some were convinced unresolved feelings still linger, while others hailed Sarah as the picture of maturity and peaceful co-parenting.

Internet Weighs In

Reactions flooded timelines within hours. While some Kenyans openly hoped for a reunion, others applauded Sarah’s grace and slammed Simon for what they felt was poor judgement at a public company event involving his ex-wife.

“Too soon, too public,” some argued. Others, however, praised the pair for handling an uncomfortable moment without open conflict.

From Love Story to Public Fallout

Sarah and Simon’s love story once read like a dream. The two met in 2007 through an online Google group, bonded during a group trip to Lukenya Hills, and soon began organising trips together — planting the seed for what would become Bonfire Adventures.

Simon proposed in 2008 at Amboseli Observation Hill, and by 2009, they were married in a lavish ceremony at Lake Naivasha Country Club. Two children and a booming travel empire followed.

But cracks began to show in 2021 when Sarah hinted at marital troubles online. By 2022, the drama spilled onto social media, followed by a brief reunion and a pregnancy announcement — before the relationship finally unravelled again.

In December 2024, Sarah confirmed she had moved out of their matrimonial home, saying she had found peace away from the marriage.

Still Linked by Business and Children

Despite the breakup, the two remain tied together by their children and their business empire. While both insist they are focused on healing and co-parenting, every public interaction continues to draw intense scrutiny.
