According to TUKO.co.ke, the singer, who is known for his songs such as Freshi Barida and Inauma, has been suffering from depression since he found out about his wife's pregnancy, which he claims is not his.
A source close to the couple told TUKO.co.ke that Stivo Simple Boy confronted his wife about the pregnancy and demanded a DNA test to prove his paternity.
However, Grace Atieno refused to take the test and insisted that the baby is his.
The source also said that the couple has been having marital problems since Stivo Simple Boy's father passed away in 2023, and that they have been living separately for some time.
A leaked audio clip obtained by TUKO.co.ke revealed that Stivo Simple Boy denied being the father of the unborn child and said that his wife came back to him already pregnant after his father's funeral.
"The pregnancy isn't mine. We were not together after my dad's funeral, and she came back while pregnant," he said in the clip.
Grace Atieno, on the other hand, confirmed to TUKO.co.ke that there is trouble in their marriage, but declined to give her side of the story until January 2024.
She also said that she knows who is behind the rumors and allegations, and that she will expose them soon.
"What I can say, is I don't want to comment on the issue now. I will give my side of the story in January. I know where the whole issue started and the person involved," she said.
Stivo Simple Boy and Grace Atieno got married in 2022 in a colorful ceremony attended by their family and friends.
The singer had previously said that he loves his wife and that he cooks for her as a way of showing his affection.
He also said that he believes in marriage vows and that he would never cheat on his wife or leave her because of money.
"When you get into marriage, you vow to love your partner through sickness and health, but there are people who go against that. When there is money, there's more love and when there is no money, they run away. There is also a common saying women like to use that their money is only there's but a man's money is for everyone. It should not be like that," he said in an interview with SPM Buzz.
Stivo Simple Boy rose to fame in 2019 with his viral song Mihadarati, which addressed the issue of drug abuse among the youth.
He has since released several other songs that promote positive messages and social awareness, such as Ndoa, Mapenzi Ya Pesa, and Vijana Tuwache Mihadarati.
He is also a philanthropist and a motivational speaker, who has inspired many people with his humble and optimistic attitude.
He has won several awards and nominations, such as the Pulse Music Video Awards, the Afrimma Awards, and the Mdundo Awards.
