Kabu’s Ex-Wife Sarah Mtalii Claims Gen Z’s Are Constantly Flocking Her DM With Romantic Messages

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Media personality and travel entrepreneur Sarah Mtalii has revealed that her DMs are constantly buzzing with serious romantic inquiries, yet she insists that she isn’t ready to jump into a relationship right now.

During an interview with Kajim on YouTube on Monday, October 6, 2025, Sarah disclosed that her inbox is filled with messages from potential suitors across various high-profile professions, including pilots, doctors, and even politicians. She noted that many of them are divorced or separated, with some living abroad and others locally in Kenya.

“I have gotten some very interesting DMs,” she stated. “Sometimes they even send screenshots of people who are seriously interested in dating me with the intention of marrying. But at the moment, my mind is not ready for that kind of relationship.”

She clarified that while she appreciates the attention, her current focus is strictly on her career and personal ambitions, leaving no room for romance.

Sending Gen Z Away

When asked if younger Gen Z men have tried their luck, Sarah laughed and firmly stated that she has had to tell them to “keep off” her direct messages.

She made it clear that her inbox is reserved for business inquiries related to her travel company or charity work for her foundation.

“Gen Z kwanza, I had to tell them to keep off my DM,” she said. “If they are coming to my DM, let them come to buy a holiday or to get inspired by what we are doing at the foundation. By the way, they are so mannerless, and I feel like I am their mother. But they don’t care.”

Criteria for a Future Partner

Sarah did, however, outline a specific type of partner she would be open to dating in the future. She is looking for someone with maturity and life experience, setting a strict age minimum.

“When I will look for someone, the person must be over 40 years, strictly,” she asserted.

She also expressed a preference for someone who has been married before, like a widower or a divorcee.

“Tutaskiza story tujue were you the problem? But I know people reform. That is the kind of people I want.”

For now, Sarah maintains that her travel business and foundation work remain her top priorities, confirming that love will have to wait until the timing is right.

How Sarah Mtalii had to crush her parents’ hope she had reconciled with Simon Kabu

Posted on by Ozymandias

Bonfire Ventures managing director Sarah Mtalii has once again addressed speculation surrounding her relationship with ex-husband and business partner Simon Kabu, firmly denying claims that the two have reunited.

The former couple, who separated in May 2024 but went public with the news in December, had shocked many when they announced the end of their marriage. Despite moving on with their lives, rumours of a reconciliation resurfaced after they were recently spotted together on a business trip for their travel company.

Speaking during an interview with Milele FM’s Ankali Ray, Sarah dismissed the chatter as misleading and harmful:

“Tuliachana. I told you we separated and everyone has moved on. He has moved on, I have moved on, and we are just waiting for the court to issue the certificate. People need to stop taking us back there. These bloggers are just playing with Kenyans, and that is not good.”

She revealed that the reports had even unsettled her own family.

“They are playing mind games with people, and it is not good because people like my parents got high blood pressure when they heard the news. Walipigwa na butwaa. If reconciliation ever happens—which I doubt—we will be the ones to announce it.”

When asked if she had found love again, Sarah offered a simple response: “I am okay and I am very happy.” She also reassured clients that Bonfire Ventures remains strong, with a management team running day-to-day operations while she and Simon continue to serve as advisors.

Looking Back at Her Marriage

In March 2025, Sarah gave a candid interview on TV47, where she opened up about the struggles in her marriage and why she delayed leaving.

“I jumped into marriage with both legs. When things didn’t work, I felt I had to play along because I was already seen as a role model to young couples,” she said.

Ultimately, she realised the cost of maintaining appearances was too high:

“I would have died trying to inspire people and be a role model. So I said, let everyone find their own mentor. I am not going to live a double life just to appear perfect.”

Her Changing Views on Infidelity

Sarah also sparked conversation in November 2024 when she suggested on Eve Mungai’s Hey Girl podcast that most men who cheat still love their wives, pointing out that many public figures register assets under their wives’ names rather than their mistresses’.

She attributed infidelity to curiosity, saying, “They are just exploring. For some, it’s a fetish.”

However, just a month later, she issued a heartfelt apology, walking back her comments and urging women not to remain in unfaithful marriages:

“Wamama, tafadhali nawaomba mnisamehe. If things aren’t working, it’s better to leave while you still can.”

A New Chapter Focused on Peace

Today, Sarah says she prioritises mental health and personal well-being above societal expectations. Her message is clear: no one should sacrifice their peace of mind for appearances.

Simon Kabu’s Response To Ex Wife’s Claim She Bought Her Own Range Rover

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

The highly public and contentious divorce proceedings between Bonfire Adventures founders Simon Kabu and his estranged wife, Sarah  Mtalii have taken another dramatic turn. Simon Kabu has responded to his ex-wife’s recent claims that she, not he, was the one who bought the luxurious Range Rover that was widely celebrated as a romantic gift from him several years ago.

In a recent tell-all interview, Sarah Kabu dropped several bombshells about their marriage, including the revelation that the Range Rover, which became a symbol of their “power couple” status, was a lie. She alleged that she had paid for the car herself over a five-year period but had agreed to present it as a surprise gift from Simon for the sake of social media and public relations.

The Range Rover, which was a Range Rover Sport, was presented to Sarah Kabu on her 39th birthday. At the time, the surprise was heavily documented on social media and celebrated by fans and the media, with Simon Kabu explaining in interviews that he had purchased the car to make her birthday memorable. Sarah, in a past interview, had also expressed her delight, stating that she had always wanted a Range Rover Sport and that the gift was a pleasant surprise.

Kabu’s Response Raises Questions

In response to the new allegations, Simon Kabu has yet to issue a direct, detailed public statement specifically addressing the car. However, he has made a series of statements on his social media and through his lawyer in court that broadly dismiss his estranged wife’s claims. In one post, he urged her to “heal and just move on,” hinting that her allegations were baseless and driven by jealousy.

The public back-and-forth between the two has become a staple of Kenyan celebrity gossip, with social media users and commentators closely following the drama. The initial Range Rover gift was a major part of the couple’s brand, portraying them as a successful and loving couple who valued grand romantic gestures. Sarah Kabu’s new claims, therefore, have not only cast a new light on their relationship but also raised questions about the authenticity of many celebrity relationships portrayed on social media.

The ongoing divorce proceedings have seen a series of explosive claims from Sarah Kabu, with Simon Kabu’s legal team recently securing a court injunction to bar her from publishing or broadcasting alleged defamatory statements against him. The court case is still ongoing, and both parties have been advised to handle the matter with discretion. However, the public nature of their fallout continues to provide fresh material for discussion and debate.

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Businesswoman and public figure Sarah ‘Mtalii’ Kabu has addressed widespread rumors of a romantic reconciliation with her estranged husband, Simon Kabu, following their recent public appearance together at a yacht party.

In a statement shared on social media, Sarah clarified that the two are not back together, emphasizing that their divorce proceedings are still in progress.

“I’ve seen the blogs and the buzz apparently I’m trending,” she wrote. Sarah explained that her attendance at a recent Bonfire Adventures event with her marketing team was purely for content creation – a routine she stated they have maintained even during periods of separation.

She further criticized bloggers for disseminating misinformation without seeking clarification, stating;

“Unfortunately, certain bloggers chose to run with their own versions of the story without ever reaching out for clarification.”

Sarah Kabu urged the public not to confuse professional collaboration and content creation with personal reconciliation.

“Let’s not twist moments of professionalism and content creation into stories they’re not. I appreciate those of you who always support me and seek truth over drama.

The two have been separated despite havin kids together. It’s yet to be determined who will have custody of the kids.

Simon Kabu Petitions Court to Dismiss Nanny’s Sh21 Million Lawsuit Against Him and His Estranged Wife

Posted on by Ozymandias

Simone Kabu the CEO  of Bonfire Adventures Travel Agency wants the case in which he and his estranged wife Sarah have been sued by their former nanny for Sh21 million dismissed.
The nanny has sued the estranged couple over a home video that went viral, citing a breach of privacy, cyberbullying, sexual harassment by Sarah, and mental anguish.

Sarah Kabu Explains Why She Attacked Her Husband With a Knife

In December 2024, the nanny was thrust into the limelight following an alleged  CCTV footage that triggered a debate on the marital woes of the Bonfire Adventures Directors.
JK (the woman) claims in court papers that her employment as a nanny and homeschool teacher for the Kabus’ two children in June 2024 was part of a ruse aimed at using social media to make her a scapegoat for the estranged couple’s marital problems.

JK’s case has shone a spotlight on the seemingly troubled life of the Kabus, which is a stark contrast to what the estranged duo has shown the public for years – a happy-clappy power couple using their perfect marriage to grow their company into a tourism industry behemoth.
The case has also revealed that Sarah may have narrowly dodged criminal charges for causing actual bodily harm to JK, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

She is seeking Sh7 million for sexual harassment by Sarah, Sh7 million for breach of confidentiality by Simon’s release of the CCTV footage, and violation of dignity by both Simon and Sarah.

The saga, which has snowballed into an intrusive legal battle exposing secrets of the Bonfire Adventures proprietors, started on July 8, 2024, barely a month after JK was hired.
Simon and Sarah were already separated, with the latter having already moved out of their marital home in the posh Edenville gated community along Kiambu Road.

JK says in court papers that Simon had all along attributed Sarah’s absence from the home to a busy working schedule.
She says Simon and Sarah’s marriage became problematic with her thrown in the center of it despite remaining professional in her duties.
While Sarah wanted her gone and even fired her, Simon ordered her to stay a situation that intensified the couple’s marriage woe.
JK says during the back and forth between the married couple, she was at one point assaulted by Sarah who she also alleges hurled sexual innuendos at her. When she threatened to report the matter, JK says Simon urged her not to.

On August 28, 2024, Simon sent Sh250,000 to JK’s bank account, but the court papers do not indicate what the money was for. On October 15, 2024, Sarah and JK reached an out-of-court deal, and it was agreed that the money Simon had sent the latter be considered part of the settlement fee.
She notes that Sarah was also willing to give her an extra Sh100,000 to close the matter. JK now maintains that she agreed to the settlement out of duress.

“I opted for settlement because I was disappointed at how my case was being handled, the prejudice, and negative discrimination I faced at the Kiambu police station. Sarah’s case was a clear manifest of how the rich are protected by the law even if they are in the wrong,” JK says in her court filings.

The matter should have ended on October 15, 2024, after the deal was signed and everyone was told that the CCTV footage had been deleted.

But on December 4, 2024, the same video that was non-existent started trending on social media. Some social media users claimed that JK was romantically involved with Simon and that she was pregnant.
She now claims that Simon and Sarah paid some bloggers and social media users to malign her name for publicity stunts.

When JK called Simon and asked why he had leaked the video. Simon allegedly said he mistakenly sent it to the Bonfire Adventures WhatsApp group while trying to get the footage to his lawyer.

Those form the basis of JK’s next two claims for violation of privacy and reputational damage, for which she wants Sh14 million.
Simon filed a preliminary objection terming her former employee’s case as frivolous, bad in law, vexatious,s and an abuse of court.
He also wants the case to be struck out, on the grounds that, the Employment and Labour Relations court has jurisdiction to determine the suit.
The matter came up for mentioning this week before Hon. Justice Bernard Matanga who directed the parties  appear before him on 27th March 2025 for the ruling of Mr Kabu’s objection.

“The brand name Sarah Mtalii is very dear to me because my son inspired it,” she said, her voice breaking with emotion. “Children have a unique way of finding inspiration, even in the toughest times.” She paused briefly, overwhelmed by tears, as attendees clapped in support, with several women coming to the stage to comfort her.

Sarah recounted how her son embraced his role as the “man of the house” following their move. “After we relocated to our new home, I told my son he would now be the man of the house. I was amazed by how he accepted it. As a child, he observes and adapts to family changes,” she noted.

The Bonfire Adventures Managing Director further shared that her son christened every family member with the name “Mtalii” because he no longer wanted to associate with the Kabu name. “He called me Sarah Mtalii and made it clear he didn’t want to hear the name Kabu again,” she said.
