In a video that went viral, media personality Betty Kyallo sparked curiosity among her fans about her state of sobriety as she was captured being quite vocal about being the best news anchor and most famous person in Kenya causing a stir on the internet.
Despite the lively scene, the well-known TV personality took a moment in the video to share words of encouragement with her fans. She urged them to persevere and not lose hope, while also offering insights into her own journey that led her to become one of the most celebrated figures in the country.
“I’m one of the most famous people in Kenya. I used to speak to myself in the mirror at home before I became the best news anchor in the country, so don’t give up,” she said.

Following the trending video, Kyallo shared a photo taken during the event and explained, “Started my My December last weekend 😂😂😂,” she wrote after the video went viral.
The mother of one also recently amused her audience after she expressed just how she dislikes the word ‘baby mama’.
She explained this to Oga Obinna, saying, “That term sounds so… I don’t even know how to explain it. Like baby mama! Sijui it sounds aje, mimi sijawahi itwa hivyo (I have never been referred to using that term, ‘baby mama’. It sounds so off).”
“Like it gives me the sense of an angry, confrontational lady just yelling like come here! Don’t do this and that to my baby and so on… I just think of myself as a lady who has a child with a guy,” she added.
A mere fortnight ago, Kyallo candidly discussed her previous romantic entanglements, disclosing that she maintains an amicable relationship with the majority of her former partners.
The ex-TV news presenter further revealed an interesting facet of her romantic history—she asserted that she has never experienced being dumped. However, there was a near occurrence when she took the proactive step of ending a relationship before her partner had the chance to initiate the breakup.
“There is this one guy, I can’t remember what I did and he started withdrawing, and when I noticed that, and because I’m not the kind of a lady to be dumped, I dumped him first before he could dump me,” she said in an interview with Nation.
Betty explained that this specific ex-partner was purportedly overwhelmed by the financial obligations tied to sustaining the relationship.

“I think he was scared of my maintenance, a bill here a bill there so he started acting up, and being unavailable. But we are good friends now, I’m good with most of my exes which is a good thing I think,” she said.
Betty asserted that only one man had rejected her advances. The former KTN and K24 anchor delved into her present dating status, emphasizing her commitment to her businesses. She conveyed a more careful stance toward future relationships, shaped by the lessons learned from her past romantic experiences.
“There are good guys out there, but for now, I’m not available. I feel like when you are a celebrity or famous, you can never be sure what reason(s) brings someone to your life.”
“I say so because I have been in relationships where I’m just a trophy, by that I mean the guy doesn’t want you to talk or work. He just wants you to sit there looking pretty and smile. This is why you need to go a bit slow (with being in a relationship). Right now I’m at a good space,” Kyallo said.
Concluding her thoughts, the mother of one acknowledged the hurdles that come with wealth and fame, especially within the realm of her dating experiences.
“For women of our stature, and I have had this discussion with some of my peers, we feel like most good guys shy away from hitting on us because of the perception they have of us. They probably think we are high maintenance but I want to say to them, that they need to be confident and approach us except for me. We can always work out these things you know,” she opined.
