Kenya’s beloved online comedian and mental health advocate Crazy Kennar and his partner Natalie Asewe are celebrating the birth of their daughter—marking a deeply emotional new chapter in a journey filled with both heartbreak and healing.
The couple shared the joyful news on Sunday morning through a heartfelt Instagram post that has since gone viral, drawing thousands of congratulatory messages from fans, fellow creatives, and public figures.
“A daughter, handpicked for Earth by her brother in heaven,” Natalie wrote, referring to their newborn as their rainbow baby—a child born after loss.
This tender announcement comes nearly two years after unimaginable grief. In December 2023, Kennar and Natalie lost their newborn son just days before the comedian’s highly anticipated Happy Country show at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
Despite the pain, Kennar stood on stage.
Mid-show, he paused and spoke vulnerably about his grief, in a moment that moved an entire nation.
“If you see someone walking and smiling, just ask if they’re okay,” he told the audience—words that would echo far beyond that night and cement his place not just as a comedian, but as a voice for mental health and empathy.
Natalie later shared her own heartache, calling it “the most painful experience of our lives” and opening up about the emotional toll it had on them as a couple.
That’s why today’s news is more than a personal milestone—it’s a symbol of restoration. Of joy after sorrow. Of life after loss.
Shortly after the announcement, Kenya’s digital and entertainment community rallied around the couple:
“From pain to purpose. Congratulations Kennar and Natalie!” wrote comedian Flaqo Raz.
Other personalities including Cartoon Comedian and Teacher Wanjiku also sent messages of love and celebration.
Fans across platforms called the newborn “a gift from the heavens,” with many saying the couple’s story continues to inspire them.
While Kennar and Natalie have not yet revealed their daughter’s name, sources close to the family confirm that both mother and baby are healthy. The couple is expected to take a brief break from public engagements as they adjust to life as new parents.
Crazy Kennar remains a defining figure in Kenya’s comedy and digital space—his rise from campus skits to stadium shows, all while pushing for mental health awareness, continues to resonate with a generation.
