In the post, she asked for forgiveness from Simon and asked that their fans and members of the public pray for them as they try to make their union work. It appeared that Sarah had opted to give their marriage a second chance after she wanted to end it In a bid to salvage the situation Sarah took to her socials to say that the information she had earlier shared about her marital issues was misleading. "Sorry my fam, when I was in distress I said things I should not have said online and thus misleading. Life is a lesson and we learn every day. Forgive me, Simon. Lets sort our issues offline, All is well please keep us in our prayers," she wrote. This comes barely a day after she had intended to end her marriage with Simon. During an interview with Youtuber Christine Lewis, Sarah stated that she had suffered a number of issues for the past ten years but remained silent. These included baby mama drama, her children being taken away by their father, among others.

She noted that she was tired of living two lives, portraying the perfect couple to the public ahile she suffered behind the scenes.

“It reached a point I said I don’t want to live a fake life anymore. I will live the real me and who I am. Sometimes I see people are getting inspired by me and yet I’m just showing the good part, they have not seen the bad part,” Sarah disclosed.

“Many look at us like humble people, and we have become soft targets for bad people and that’s why you see sometimes I hit back. 70 per cent were very good people,” she said. [caption id="attachment_16604" align="alignnone" width="1200"]

She revealed that one of her resolutions for 2022 was to get out of the marriage with Simon which she claims was beginning to wear her down.

“We have been discussing separation because I have been telling him I’m not so comfortable in this marriage and I’m tired of faking and we are in discussions. I wanted a peaceful separation and even co-parenting,” she added.

The Bonfire Adventures managing director recounted an incident where her children were taken away without her consent and ended up involving law enforcement in the matter.

“I told him I will be moving out... just to calm and relax and take a breather. That day I slept at Trade Mark Hotel and the next when I came home... he had organized and picked the kids and went to Amboseli without my knowledge,” she recounted.

She stated that efforts to reach a consensus with Simon about the children failed and she was forced to seek intervention from the police.

“I felt we should have had a better way of doing this… I feel very scared and distressed and feel my kids should not be put in such a situation,” Sarah said.

"I tried talking to the father and he could not listen, called his many friends, telling him its bad to take the kids alone. At some point we had to involve the police.. it was 10 days with a lot of pressure and chase...We have had challenges for the last 10 years, but it reaches a point you get tired,” she added.

Sarah also noted that Simon's baby mamas had started to meddle in their marriage. Simon has two children from two previous relationships: a boy and a girl.

"One of the baby mama’s is very dramatic, sometimes I see her insulting him and sending me messages and all that... at one time he wanted to bring one of the kids home but I told him to give them support from a distance because I need my family close.

"I did not come to pick you from one of their houses, I found you a miserable young man na tumejijenga… but now of late after we did the public display of gifting our children properties, the other kids have been very aggressive,” she said.
