Singer Nadia Mukami has revealed that she has not given up on finding love despite the challenges she has faced in her personal life.
Speaking in an interview with Alex Mwakideu on AM TV, the award-winning musician said she still hopes to get married in the future but now approaches relationships with a clearer understanding of what she wants in a partner.
When asked whether she would consider getting married again, Nadia responded confidently.
“Yeah, i’m lover. I’ve not given up on love.”
The singer explained that while she remains optimistic about romance, her past experiences have shaped the standards she now has for anyone she chooses to date.
Nadia said motherhood has fundamentally changed how she views relationships.
She revealed that she would only consider dating someone who already has children, saying such a person would better understand the responsibilities that come with parenting.
“Now I have lessons that I’ve learned. Must have kids. I can’t date a person with kids because they won’t understand me. If I say, ‘No, I can’t do this because of my kids,’ they won’t understand it. But now, somebody with kids will understand me.”
The singer shares a son with fellow musician Arrow Bwoy, making co-parenting an important consideration in any future relationship.
Beyond having children, Nadia listed several other non-negotiable qualities she would expect in a future husband.
She said her ideal partner should be older than her, financially secure and emotionally available.
“They have to be older than me. I can’t do somebody younger. Have to be really rich.”
She also made it clear that she would not be interested in someone who still has unresolved issues with a former partner. Instead, she wants someone who has already moved on from a previous relationship and maintains a healthy co-parenting arrangement if children are involved.
“Either separated, and your ex has moved on… you’re just co-parenting. Strict co-parenting. No drama.”
According to Nadia, she would expect the same level of maturity that she brings to her own co-parenting journey. She stressed that introducing unnecessary conflict into children’s lives would be a dealbreaker.
The interview also touched on Arrow Bwoy’s future, with Mwakideu asking whether she would be comfortable seeing him marry another woman. Nadia said she would support the idea provided the woman treated their children with kindness and respect.
“Yes. Just for a woman who would not hurt my kids. And actually, I’d communicate with her.”
