Yvette Obura Overjoyed as Bahati Gifts Her an iPhone 16 Pro Max for Her 32nd Birthday

Yvette Obura, the celebrated businesswoman and social media influencer known as the baby mama of Kenyan musician Kevin Bahati, was all smiles on her 32nd birthday after receiving a lavish gift: an iPhone 16 Pro Max. The surprise, reportedly worth KSh 160,000, came from none other than Bahati himself, marking a heartfelt moment in their ongoing journey of cordial co-parenting.
The occasion unfolded on March 5, 2025, when Yvette celebrated her birthday in a low-key yet meaningful way, spending quality time with their daughter, Mueni Bahati. Taking to Instagram, Yvette shared a video of Mueni unboxing the sleek new phone at a popular Nairobi phone shop, her face beaming with excitement. In her caption, Yvette expressed deep gratitude, calling the gift a “blessing” and noting it was the first present she received on her special day. “I’m overwhelmed with joy,” she wrote, tagging Bahati with a heart emoji. “Thank you for this amazing surprise!”
The gesture from Bahati, a prominent figure in Kenya’s entertainment scene, underscores the positive dynamic he shares with Yvette, despite their romantic relationship ending years ago. The two have consistently demonstrated a commitment to co-parenting their 9-year-old daughter Mueni with grace and mutual respect. This isn’t the first time Bahati has made headlines for his generosity—his recent gifting spree for his wife, Diana Marua, including a Range Rover, stirred buzz online—but this birthday surprise for Yvette has struck a different chord, highlighting their evolved family bond.
Yvette, who has carved her own path as an influencer and entrepreneur with her fashion line, Yvette Fashion Hub, kept the celebration intimate, focusing on her daughter’s joy. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple’s latest flagship model boasting advanced features like a triple-camera system and A18 chip, seemed a fitting token for a woman who has navigated public scrutiny with resilience. Her recent reflections on overcoming financial hardship in 2023, when she nearly faced homelessness, add a layer of triumph to this moment of celebration.
Bahati, for his part, has yet to comment publicly on the gift, but sources close to the singer suggest it was a spontaneous decision to honor Yvette’s role in their daughter’s life. “He respects her hustle and wanted to make her day special,” an insider revealed. The move aligns with Bahati’s public persona as a family man, often seen balancing his music career with his responsibilities as a father of five.
As the video of Mueni unboxing the phone racked up views, Yvette’s followers flooded her comments with birthday wishes and admiration for the family’s unity. “This is what growth looks like,” one fan noted. “From drama to blessings—love to see it.” For Yvette, the iPhone 16 isn’t just a gadget—it’s a symbol of a hard-earned harmony, a gift that speaks volumes in a story that continues to captivate Kenya’s entertainment landscape.
