Sauti Sol lead singer Bien Aime Baraza has opened up about his marriage for the first time. Speaking in an interview, Bien said eight months after getting married, he wanted to divorce his wife Chiki Kuruka.
Bien says he had to go through counseling and work on himself to save his marriage, “My wife and I have been married for two years now, we got married a week before the pandemic started. When you get married, nobody gives you the tools, people are happy for you. For a long time in my life I only looked at my wife as a love interest romantically and then the pandemic happened.
Being in the house all day with my chick every day, amazing as she is, it was driving me nuts. The small things became the big things and 8 months in, I was like I want a divorce, this is too much. I started going for counselling and I was like men I don’t wanna be married. I didn’t realise that when we were dating, I was just travelling. I would come back for two weeks and I was all lovey dovey, then my house was empty for a whole year and I was like babe move into my house instead of paying rent.”
He added that when Chiki started managing him, he became more in love with her, “The true colours started to show from me and we went through a rough patch and we somehow managed to figure it out. It’s moments like this that make you grow. In my journey of Alone Together, my wife has been my manager, she is amazing at managing me and it totally flipped and made me even love her anymore.”
