While the images portrayed a seemingly harmonious celebration, online users were quick to criticize Karen for visiting a house previously occupied by Samidoh's first wife, Edday Nderitu.
The house, built by Samidoh before his relationship with Nyamu, became a focal point of discussion.
Online comments suggested that Samidoh should consider building a separate house for Karen Nyamu rather than bringing her to his first wife's marital home.
The sentiment resonated with some who felt that maintaining boundaries in shared spaces is crucial, especially when children are involved.
Edday Nderitu's responds
Edday Nderitu, Samidoh's first wife, joined the online conversation, expressing her disappointment.
She claimed that Samidoh had disrespected their children by bringing Nyamu to the house.
In her comment, she implied that their shared familial space was being intruded upon, turning her children into virtual strangers.
“The good thing is that those kids he has disrespected, he will be seeing them on social media just like a stranger," she wrote.
