Gospel power couple Linet Munyali, popularly known as Size 8, and her husband Dj Mo, recently rekindled their love after a 7-month separation that tested the strength of their marriage.
The couple who have been together since 2013, surprised fans recently with a beautiful white wedding ceremony, signaling a fresh start in their union.
Speaking during an interview on This Friday With Betty on TV47, Size 8 opened up about the emotional toll the separation had on her and their family.
The gospel singer admitted that she missed her husband deeply during the time they were apart.
“At some point I missed him, I missed him so much I wont lie. I missed who he was in the house and who he was to the children,” Size 8 revealed.
What struck her most, however, was the impact the split had on their children, particularly their eldest daughter, Wambo.
Size 8 revealed that the bond between Dj Mo and the girl is so strong that she struggled emotionally during the separation.
“Wambo was really affected because her father is everything. Wambo can live without me but not the dad, so she was really affected. She dint know exactly what was going on but she really missed the dad’s presence.”
“That was when I realised a part of me was really selfish because in all this I din’t factor her. It was all about me, she asked me questions like ‘where is daddy?’.
One day she went to visit the dad where the dad was leaving and then she came back home, I dint know she was affected, so she went to school, she cried, I was called that she’s crying in school. I was told to go in school and the class teacher told me that she was crying because her dad was leaving in a different house, and at that time for me was my wake up call,” Size 8 added.
Her maternal instincts and desire to preserve the emotional well being of her children ultimately played a major role in her decision to reconcile with Dj Mo, Size 8 revealed during the exclusive interview.
She explained that that seeing her children’s happiness tied to the presence of both parents under one roof made her realize the importance of fighting for their family.
During the interview she also had kind words for her husband commending him for his role as a father.
“Mo is a dad and a half,” Size 8 stated.
