Thee Pluto and Felicity Shiru welcomed their first child together in 2022. However, Thee Pluto has another daughter from a previous relationship.
During a conversation with DJ Mo and Size 8 on the show Wild Love, in April 2024, Thee Pluto disclosed the unwelcome advances his wife has received from various celebrities and politicians via DMs.
He expressed his frustration, noting that such encounters pose challenges to maintaining trust and security in the relationship.
“Nishai chukua hiyo simu yake siku moja anikapata hadi macelebs na politicians wako tu pale kwa DM yake. Ni challenge. Kama sahi hata hajareply but wako tu pale. Unaeza pata hata beshte yako ako pale Na yeye ashawahi chukua simu yangu akapata mabeshte wake wanaslide kwa DM yangu,” he said.

Reflecting on their journey together, Thee Pluto admitted to a lighthearted approach when proposing that Felicity Shiru move in with him.
While expressing genuine readiness for the commitment, he acknowledged a lingering sense of uncertainty, given the casual nature of their initial conversation.
However, upon witnessing Felicity Shiru’s presence in his home that evening, Thee Pluto felt a deep sense of conviction and decided to live with her, embracing the responsibility of fatherhood with their first child.
“Ile kitu nilifanya after mamaa amepata ball, niliamwambia zile vitu zote ako nazo apatie beshte yetu fulani anaitwa Musa , alafu amove in with me. Na mi nikimwambia , one nilikuwa serious ndani yangu like I was ready for any task.
“Lakini pia kulikuwa na kale ka feeling ka naisema kijokes jokes coz sikuwa sure alikuwa ataikia kumove in. Hiyo siku nilimuona kwangu jioni na hivo ndio nilioa,” he said.
Despite their three-year relationship and shared responsibilities as parents, the ex-couple were yet to tie the knot officially.
One of the main reasons for the delay is the couple’s differing religious backgrounds.
Thee Pluto is a Muslim, while Felicity is a Christian. This difference created a small but significant obstacle in their plans for marriage.
“It’s something I know, I don’t want to become a Muslim. Like, it’s just something I know. Even before becoming Muslim, you have to learn about the religion. It’s not a one-day decision. You have to learn everything about the religion. I’m not ready for that,” she said in a past interview.
The couple shared glimpses of their family life on social media, showcasing their bond and the joy of parenthood that nobody thought would end soon.
