On August 31, 2019, Diana Marua gave birth to Majesty Bahati, her second child with husband Bahati.

However, the joy of welcoming a new baby was short-lived for Diana, as she struggled with postnatal depression due to Bahati's absence during her recovery.

During an interview on K24 Weekend with Betty, Diana shared her experience, saying, 'I was a first-time mum and Bahati was not there for me. He was working too much. Heaven used to cry so much and it leaves me wondering what is wrong. I have changed her diaper I have fed her and she was still crying. I WAS SEEING ON SOCIAL MEDIA HE IS JUST SLAYING AND I AM HERE STRUGGLING.'

According to Diana, Bahati's busy schedule left her feeling isolated and alone, with no support from her husband.

She described how there were days she fell asleep with the baby in her hands while Bahati slept, claiming he was tired from work.

Despite Bahati's claims that he has changed and is now more present for Diana and Majesty, the mother of two remains skeptical, saying that he is still on his phone too much and that irritates her.

However, Diana is hopeful that Bahati will change his ways, citing the 21-day rule to form a habit.
