Dan Sonko is the ex-boyfriend of the late Winnie Bwire Ndubi.
Ms Bwire succumbed to cancer on Thursday 5th September 2024 while undergoing treatment in Turkey.
While Dan Sonko has been low-key since 2021, it is evident that he would celebrate her wins on his social media at the time when they were dating.
In one of his posts, he celebrated her for her role in Kenyan film ‘Tehanani’
“The Director, Set Designer, Score Composer and Singer & Actress of the Hit Show Tehanani on maisha magic east. My Creative, My Mien ❤️My ♾Dedication: Melanin by Romain Virgo,” he wrote
In another post, he shared her photo with his kids spending time together.
“In the End…All that really matters is LOVEAlways Pray for Better days no Question that tomorrow there will be Good timesJust Believe,” he captioned
Another video shows Sonko campaigning to get votes as ‘Actress Of The Year’
“Dear Humans, How long has it been? Please join me in showing some love to Mien ❤️ @bwirendubi by Voting for her! She has been nominated for the Actress of the Year Award in the @pwanigoldenawardsTo Vote for Bwire Ndubi, click on the link in my Bio. At the end of the day, All these Ladies are winners! Let’s Vote!”
The couple met in 2018 and parted ways in 2023. Sonko announced on Facebook.
“Bwire Ndubi are no longer romantically together. We are still very good friends, but when it comes to love/family – to each their own. We still maintain a cordial business relationship. I respect her as a queen in her own right. I care deeply for her, but the decision we arrived at was mutually agreed.”
“We have not married thanks to the #Covid19 Pandemic, so this separation should not be deemed as a divorce. For now, I am a lone ranger. Single and not searching,” he said.
In an interview with Lynn Ngugi, Bwire narrated their meet up and their break up as well.
“Watu wa Nairobi you like saying character development. So I met my best friend in the whole wide world, and we decided that we were going to settle down. and so we begin this journey.
Two years into the relationship, the people who don’t know him, lost his first wife while delivering his second born.
And so he had been on a journey of trying to rebuild. And that is how we came together. And we said you know what we’ve been through stuff, let’s do this.
And it was genuine because we were the best of friends And so we set on this path of rebuilding our lives and two years down the line he gets mental health issues, and I don’t know what to do Lynn because this is like a scenario where you’ve.
This is something you’ve never tackled before and you are young in this union, and you are genuine, and you do know what to do”
“There’s kids, there’s you, there’s work, how do you balance? And so it was such a stressful period in my life, I would say the most stressful period. I have never been put through a test, as big as that. “
“I didn’t know what to do so I decided I’m just going to be here. Whatever unfolds I am just going to be here, because I have to think about myself, my boys and so being in this constant situation of stress I believe led me to sit where I am today because I am not the kind of person who talks about my problems,”
“So when we dealt with whatever at that period, after that we were trying to get our lives back to normal and I noticed that my arm was slightly swollen we started noticing that my arm is swelling, it wasn’t this big at the time. I kept telling Dan, something is wrong. The last thing you think about is cancer”
