Comedian Mulamwah has shared a heartfelt video showing a calm and playful moment with his son, just a day after his ex-girlfriend, Ruth K, revealed that their child had allegedly cried nonstop for eight days without eating or sleeping.
Through an Instagram post, Ruth K described the ordeal as one of the most difficult periods of her life, adding that multiple hospital visits showed no signs of illness.
“This has been the toughest season of my life, and 2026 began with the same mood,” she wrote.
A day later, Mulamwah posted an update video showing himself reunited with his son, who appeared peaceful, playful, and healthy.
He noted that the child had eaten well, stopped crying, and was resting comfortably at home, sparking renewed public discussion around the former couple.
Ruth K later confirmed the improvement on her Instagram story, writing, “Calvo is now okay. Leo naskia amekula ugali misheveve after fasting the whole week. I hope he is at peace now and will sleep peacefully.”
The couple’s relationship ended amid public drama in 2025, with both parties airing grievances online. Their breakup drew criticism due to the emotional strain it placed on their young child.
As the story circulated, fans and public figures weighed in, with some referencing Luhya cultural beliefs about bloodline and ancestral connections.
Comedian Eddie Butita suggested that challenges affecting a child could sometimes relate to unresolved matters around lineage and identity:
“In Luhya culture, there is something we take seriously, bloodline, which affects a male child. What happens is that maybe the parents had separated. The ancestors, once in a while, need assurance that their bloodline is present, that whoever is tasked to continue the bloodline is around,” he explained, urging calm and cultural sensitivity.
Online reactions mirrored similar sentiments, encouraging Ruth K to involve the child’s father.
Instagram user @Elizareenmugar commented, “In Luhya, his people could be calling the child through that. You can take him to his people and probably let them name him, or if you are strong in faith, pray for the child. Praying for you too, so sad to see a single mum going through this.”
Another user, @Its.lashy, suggested the child might find comfort with his father, “On a serious note, mpeleke kwa babake atanyamaza.”
A third, @Wainana added, “The baby needs his father.”
While cultural interpretations differ, many fans urged both parents to focus on unity, prayer, and their child’s well-being rather than online disputes.
Others cautioned against public speculation, emphasising that parenting challenges can be overwhelming, especially under the spotlight.
