Ivy Namu, partner to media personality Willis Raburu, recently opened up about taking a three-year break from her career to focus on her children’s well-being.
In an interview with a local media outlet, Namu explained that she prioritized being present for her kids during their crucial formative years. She acknowledged the importance her husband played in allowing her to make this choice.
Intentional Parenting with Supportive Partner
Namu emphasized the value of intentional parenting and creating a nurturing environment for her children. “Taking care of young children is a big responsibility,” she said. “My career had to wait while I focused on raising them. It simply wasn’t a priority for the past few years. But now, I feel like I can start getting back into things.”
She expressed gratitude for Raburu’s unwavering support, highlighting his role as a loving husband and father. She admired his graciousness and emphasized the importance of having a supportive partner in parenthood.
“He’s an amazing man, father, and husband,” Namu said. “It’s inspiring to see him with our children.”
Namu and Raburu’s relationship began at Hot 96, where she once appeared on his show “10 Over 10” in November 2019. Their professional connection developed into a deeper bond, and they started dating in 2020, following Raburu’s separation from his ex-wife. In July 2022, their love story took a new turn when Raburu proposed on their son’s first birthday.
Addressing rumors of financial difficulties, Namu clarified that their decision to put their “Wabebe Experience” venture on hold was strategic, not driven by financial limitations.
Ivy Namu’s birthday is being celebrated by Willis Raburu on social media.
Today is the mother of two’s 29th birthday.
Ivy being a part of his life, according to Raburu, is a blessing.
“Born not to make a difference but to be the difference. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my love. You make everything worthwhile and everyone smile. The kids and I are blessed, honored, and fortunate to have our lives. My kindred spirit I love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAMU TAMU “
Ivy Namu and Willis Raburu welcomed their first child, Mali, on July 4th, 2023. The couple had intentionally chosen that date for Mali’s birthday, and Willis was adamant about being present for the birth, even though he was not allowed in the operating room due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Ivy described her pregnancy as challenging, as she suffered from heartburn throughout. The last week leading up to the birth was particularly difficult, and she said she “just wanted my child out.”
Willis was there for Ivy throughout the process, and he was able to calm Mali down when he was crying after he was born. He has also been a hands-on father, changing Mali’s first diapers and teaching Ivy how to do it.
The couple’s journey to parenthood has been filled with love, joy, and support. Willis has been a doting father and a pillar of strength for Ivy, and they are both grateful for the new addition to their family.
For a minute I thought all kids take after their dads especially the first few months, but looking at Willis Raburu’s – clearly I was wrong to think that.
Well, the almost 4 month old baby boy’s face was unveiled on 20th October by mummy, Ivy Namu who is the current girlfriend of Willis Raburu. Judging by the photo, allow me to say that Ivy Namu some strong genes compared to those of her man, Raburu.
This is because the 4 month old baby boy is what we call ‘mummy’s photocopy’ that is judging from the photo unveiled by Ms Namu. Introducing baby boy to the world, the 27 year old mum wrote;
The Raburu’s
My personal people, heaven sent & more than I could ever wish for???????? I’m blessed & highly favored, God came all the way thru ????????????
Daddies boy
Although Raburu’s boy doesn’t look so much like him on the photo shared above; I can promise you that his efforts in making him did not go to waste.
Well this is because every time baby Raburu flashes his adorable smile, all fans can see his a spitting image of his papa, Willis Raburu.

So far the former news anchor cannot rushing home from work just to hang out with his baby boy; but give it time – the excitement wears out when they start speaking and can’t stop asking questions. Just kidding.

Anyway this is Raburu’s second child after losing his first born during birth back when he was married to Maryaprude.
Willis Raburu and girlfriend Ivy Namu continue to keep a low profile weeks after their baby boy was born.

As expected the new couple in town seem quite excited and happy for the far they have come; but again, they two aren’t rubbing their relationship on Maryaprude’s face like other people do after separation. But such is life!
Anyway although the Raburu’s are really trying to keep off their baby boy off social media; they can’t help but post baby Raburu every now and then – and boy does he look like his papa.

Namu’s message to her son
Well, being a first time mum Ms Namu recently shared a long post dedicated to her baby boy who will soon be turning a month old.
Being the first time she has a little human who will soon be calling her mummy; Ivy Namu through her IG went on to shower her son with a heartfelt message where she wrote;
It’s been a couple of weeks since I heard your first cry & held you in my arms; my firstborn, my very own sonshine & our divine blessing????We are so blessed to have you in our lives & I’m glad you made & chose me to be your mother ???? I love you deeply & beyond words my boy❤️

You are worthy & deserving of all things beautiful my baby; your father & I will make sure we give you all this & more????✨???? “Oh taste & see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusts in Him” ~Psalms 34:8
Women always have this idea of a perfect life where it includes marriage before babies; but the reality is, you’ll only find such scenes in movies; or wait, even movies are now avoiding to give their viewers such expectations as times have changed.

Anyway Willis Raburu and his new woman Ivy Namu have become the talk of town after their baby boy was born a few weeks ago; although this is a good thing – there are those who feel that Raburu may have acted desperate as he moved on really fast.
But again, why wait when time waits for no man; and again, didn’t he bag himself the perfect match, months after breaking up with ex wife, Maryaprude?

I mean, things weren’t working between them, so why hold on?
Ivy explains why baby came first
Anyway, although Raburu’s relationship with Ivy Namu remains private to fans; the lovely new mum in town recently gave fans a chance to ask a question or two about her life.
With such an opportunity, Raburu’s fans swooped in with serious questions such as; why they decided to have baby out of wedlock to which Ms Namu responded by saying;

Cause it’s my life & I do what I want, when I want and how I want.
