Dorea Chege has opened up in an emotional tribute as she celebrates her daughter Wanjiku’s first birthday. The milestone is being marked through a week-long series of Instagram celebrations, where she has shared intimate reflections on her journey into motherhood.
A challenging path to motherhood
Dorea revealed that her delivery experience was far from easy, disclosing that she endured 18 hours of labour before doctors were forced to intervene. The birth was ultimately completed through emergency surgery to safeguard both her and her baby.
Despite the physical ordeal, the actress expressed deep gratitude, saying she would go through it all again for her daughter.
“18 hours of labour. Emergency surgery. And I’d do it all again without hesitation. Because that’s how much I wanted you, my Wanjiku,” she wrote alongside a photo.
A ‘miracle’ child
She described Wanjiku as her miracle and answered prayer, adding that her daughter has become her lifelong purpose. Dorea noted that their bond began even before birth, emphasising that every moment of pain and struggle was worthwhile from the very first heartbeat.
The heartfelt reflections have been shared alongside posts celebrating the child’s first birthday, giving fans a glimpse into her life as a mother.
Responding to speculation
The celebrations come amid heightened public interest in Dorea’s personal life, particularly her relationship with her partner, DJ Dibul. The couple, popularly known as the “Bulls Family,” recently found themselves at the centre of online speculation over an alleged split.
Rumours gained traction after anonymous claims of infidelity surfaced on gossip platforms, prompting fans to scrutinise their social media activity and public appearances. Speculation intensified further following a radio segment where DJ Dibul appeared hesitant while mentioning Dorea.
A show of unity
Dorea has firmly dismissed the breakup claims, maintaining that the reports are baseless.
“Wanaosema tumeachana, sidanganyi watangoja sana.”
Her message, loosely translated to mean that those expecting a separation will be waiting for a long time, underscores her stance.
The couple has since used the birthday celebrations to project unity, sharing photos and videos of themselves relaxed and affectionate. In one clip, they are seen holding hands while enjoying the festivities.
Rather than issuing lengthy statements, the pair appears to be addressing the rumours through their public presence—using shared moments, captions, and music to affirm their commitment while continuing to celebrate their daughter’s milestone.
