Former news anchor turned lucrative entrepreneur and brand influencer Betty Kyallo has revealed she quite much dislikes the term ‘baby mama’ and thanks the heavens that she has never been openly referred to using said term.
The Flair By Betty owner also opened up about co-parenting with ex-husband/ baby daddy Dennis Okari while speaking with digital content creator Oga Obinna on his YouTube show.
“That term sounds so… I don’t even know how to explain it. Like baby mama sijui it sounds aje, mimi sijawahi itwa hivyo (I have never been referred to using that term,)” started off the former news anchor.
She went on to add that the main reason she did not like the term was the fact that she felt it was mostly attributed to argumentative ladies.
“Like it gives me the sense of an angry, confrontational lady just yelling like come here! Don’t do this and that to my baby and so on… I just think of myself as a lady who has a child with a guy,” Betty told Obinna as the two burst into laughter.

On whether she thinks she is a great baby mama a confused Betty asked Obinna to elaborate what he meant with the question and what a good baby mama constitutes of.
“I’m a good mama, that I know so what does that (good baby mama) mean?” Betty candidly asked.
Responding to her query Obinna went on to list qualities he feels are what a good baby mama ought to have. “A good baby mama is one who lets the dad see the kid/kids, doesn’t talk bad about the dad to the kid(s) or try to make the kid hate the dad and so on….” Obinna said.
“If that’s the case then yeah, of course I am. People who have seen us out there… like we are very peaceful, very peaceful. We are actually good friends,” Betty joyfully said jokingly adding that Dennis should count himself lucky that he got a good one, leaving Obinna once again in stitches.
Betty and media personality Dennis Okari have one child together, a 9 year old baby girl named Ivanna.
