Married Life and Relationships

Stevo’s personal life has often made headlines.

In 2023, he introduced Grace Atieno as his wife at his father’s funeral and revealed that they planned to hold a white wedding.

However, the relationship later broke down after Stevo accused Grace of infidelity and claimed that a child she was expecting was not his.

Grace denied the allegations, insisting that Stevo was the child’s biological father and urging him to take responsibility.

The paternity claims have remained disputed publicly, with each side maintaining a different account.

In 2025, Stevo introduced another partner, Brenda, and announced that they were expecting a child together.

He later admitted that their relationship began while he was still married to Grace.

The couple later shared photos from what they described as a wedding ceremony, although some reports questioned whether it was an official legal marriage because few details were made public.

By early 2026, reports indicated that Stevo and Brenda had separated and were focusing on co-parenting their child.

Challenges

Away from music, Stevo has openly spoken about financial struggles, management disputes and personal hardships.

Despite these setbacks, he has continued to release music and remains active in Kenya’s entertainment industry.
