Bien’s wife Chiki condemns public pressure on women to have children

Chiki Kuruka, the girlfriend of singer Bien-Aimé Baraza, has spoken out against the growing public pressure placed on women to have children, calling the practice intrusive, disrespectful and deeply harmful.

In a comment shared on Instagram on Friday, December 19, 2025, Chiki expressed frustration over repeated questions and unsolicited opinions about when she and Bien plan to have children.

She noted that such conversations often cross personal boundaries, especially when they come from strangers in public forums.

While acknowledging that some people may ask these questions in good faith, Chiki emphasised that many comments are rooted in entitlement and sexism.

“I’ve had many comments from both women and men telling Bien to find a woman who will produce children for him,” she revealed, describing the remarks as dehumanising.

According to Chiki, such statements reduce women to their reproductive capacity and ignore their autonomy, ambitions, and humanity.

Chiki drew comparison, arguing that just as society understands that mothers should not be disrespected or interrogated in public, women’s wombs should also be off-limits.

“Unless we ourselves open up the forum for conversation, our bodies and our choices should not be public property,” she stated.

Chiki and Bien, who have been together for 11 years and exchanged vows in March 2020, have previously spoken openly about their views on family and parenthood.

Early last year in March, Bien shared his reflections on fatherhood during an interview on the Iko Nini podcast.

The all my enemies are suffering hitmaker revealed that if he and his wife, Chiki’ Kuruka, were to be blessed with a child, he would be willing to put his successful music career on hold to prioritise his family.

Bien emphasised that his masculinity is not defined by traditional gender roles, noting that he would willingly become a stay-at-home dad if Chiki chose to continue working.

He described raising children as a full-time career, centred on nurturing values and ethics, and reiterated his long-standing support for women’s autonomy and equality.
