Among those who expressed their joy were Nameless, DJ Krowbar, and Nairobi Gossip Club, who praised the singer for this new chapter in her life.
One fan humorously commented, “I’m still not giving up on you, even if you get to five kids!” while another nostalgically recalled, “You made my high school life the best on the magazines… can’t believe you’re pregnant now!”

Avril’s Career Comeback and Balancing Motherhood
Avril’s pregnancy announcement comes just weeks after she returned to the public spotlight following a short break.
In a recent interview with Trudy Kitui, the singer revealed she had stepped away from music to focus on her business.
“I have not been as active because I started a company, and I have to take care of it,” she explained. “Artistry has always been in me—I haven’t left music. I also act.”
Avril has always been candid about her motherhood journey, calling it both challenging and rewarding.
“When my son was a day old, that’s when it hit me that I no longer had a say—it would always be about him,” she shared in a May 2022 interview.
“In the beginning, I was a walking zombie because I wasn’t getting enough sleep. Even now, I survive on very little sleep while also chasing my dreams.”
Her first pregnancy was a private affair, with Avril choosing to announce it on her own terms, despite media speculation.
“It was going to be in my time, on my terms—never anyone else’s,” she once said.
Additionally, in a May 2021 interview, Avril opened up about her battle with fibroids, a condition that made conception more difficult.
“I had two fibroids when I was pregnant, and the doctors speculated that this could have been the reason it took me longer to conceive,” she revealed.
With her second baby on the way, Avril continues to inspire many with her resilience, talent, and dedication to both family and career.
Avril’s pregnancy news has sparked excitement among fans, proving that she remains one of Kenya’s most adored female artists. As she prepares to welcome another child, supporters eagerly await what’s next in her music and acting career.
