“These are things he did to me,” she said, adding that in due time she will reveal the details.
The couple welcomed its first baby together on March 8 as the world was celebrating International Women’s Day.
Their daughter also shares a birthday with her elder sister and Saumu’s first child whom she sired with businessman-cum-politician Ben Gatu.
After dating for nine months, a heavily pregnant Saumu broke up with Gatu after a nasty fallout.
Saumu and Loitiptip met in Mombasa where Saumu was on holiday and he was there for work and they had been dating since 2019.
In a controversial incident in 2019, the lovebirds were attacked outside Memphis Lounge off Thika road on Madaraka Day, an incident that left the Senator hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata is the latest casualty in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party purge against MPs perceived to be disloyal, as he was fired from his Majority Whip seat.
And now the guns have been trained on nominated MP David Sankok, another key ally of the Deputy President William Ruto, following Monday’s purge of the nominated senators of similar political leaning. The senators yesterday got a reprieve after the Political Parties’ Tribunal suspended their expulsion.

The gloves are off in the political battle of wits between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, who yesterday scoffed at his boss’s claim that he was in a hurry to clinch power.
The DP also dismissed claims made by President Kenyatta and his allies that he was disloyal, radicalising leaders and youth in the country to revolt against the government and the so-called dynasties.
In his second day tour of Coast, the DP cut an image of a person betrayed by Uhuru, who he said he fought for twice to win power. He declared he will not stop his march to State House.
