Kenyan singer and songwriter Juliet Ayub Miriam, popularly known as Jovial, is basking in joy
after welcoming a baby boy.
This is her second child and her first with her long-term partner, Mike. Sharing the happy news
on her Instagram Story, she posted an intimate photo of her newborn with the simple yet
powerful caption: "My Prince."
She first revealed her pregnancy through the music video for the song “Chibaby”. In the video,
she gracefully cradles her baby bump and shares tender moments with Mike.
Reflecting on past challenges, Jovial once described working at a modest guesthouse in
Mombasa when her first child, daughter Soilah, was just a few months old. She and a colleague
would secretly prepare empty rooms to earn extra money for baby essentials.
That period was difficult, but it fuelled her determination. She says it strengthened her resolve
and shaped her journey forward.
Now, with her son in her arms, she is stepping into a new chapter of certainty and joy. Jovial has
not yet shared her son’s name with the public.
