Slay Queen Senator KAREN NYAMU confirms she is ‘taken’ and vows to keep her new relationship private – “I don’t need opinion of online in-laws”

Saturday, August 08, 2026 - Controversial nominated senator Karen Nyamu has confirmed she is no longer single.

Speaking on the AMTV podcast with Alex Mwakideu, Nyamu explained that she is in a new relationship, but this time, she is determined to keep it private.

 “Right now I am taken, and my relationship is very private. Sai ni peace pekee yake, I don’t need opinion of online in-laws,” she said.

Nyamu reflected on her past high‑profile romance with Mugithi star Samidoh, which was often marked by public drama and social media scrutiny.

She admitted that the constant exposure was exhausting.

"Mapenzi ya mtandao ni draining na iko na performance mengi sana," she told Mwakideu, adding that couples online often feel pressured to project a perfect image.

"Yaani ni performative yaani unataka kuput out there what people want to see?"

She went on to advise others against posting their partners online.

“I advise people not to do it. Don’t post your relationship, you want to do those things for what?” she asked.

Nyamu confessed that in the past, she sometimes shared content just to prove a point.

"Sometimes sasa zile vitu ziko mbaya kabisa kwanza sasa hivo ndio unataka kupost kuonyesha to prove a point because we had so many haters online," she explained.
