A Kenyan actor, Dan Sonko has finally responded to critics after he was blasted for moving on with his late wife’s best friend in just 2 years of her demise
The actor is currently dating a fellow actor Winfred Bwire.
His wife passed away in 2017 after giving birth to their second child as she slipped into a coma.
In an interview with Massawe Japanni of Radio Jambo on Monday, Dan stated that he was the one who made a move on Winfred and it took time for her to accept his request.
The father of two also revealed that he took off his wedding ring years after Dru passed on to start a relationship with Bwire and that they have been together for five months now.
Taking to his Facebook page today, he shared a link to the interview, describing it as ‘extremely hot and sensitive’ “I Loved yesterday’s interview on Radio Jambo.
The topic was extremely hot and sensitive. The questions were hard hitting and precise. All in all, when one let’s God in and speaks from the heart, everything comes out with razor sharp clarity.

Na wale wa makasiriko, tutawaombea tu.” he wrote.
On her part, Bwire revealed that they were friends before he met his wife Dru. “I KNEW DAN THROUGH THE ACTING INDUSTRY AND HIS WIFE (DRU) WAS MY BEST FRIEND. HE DIDN’T MOVE ON FAST AFTER LOSING HER. I DON’T THINK I’VE BETRAYED HER BECAUSE WHEN SHE WAS STILL ALIVE I NEVER HAD ANY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH HER HUSBAND. I ALSO NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD BE MY LOVER AT ANY POINT IN LIFE BECAUSE HE HAD A FAMILY AT THAT TIME” she stated.
The actress also said that she’s in good terms with Dan’s children. “MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS KIDS IS GOOD AND HIS FIRSTBORN KNEW ME FROM WAY BACK. DAN HUWA ANAMKUMBUKA MKEWE LAKINI HUWA NAMPA HIMIZO [DAN KEEPS ON THINKING ABOUT HIS WIFE BUT I COMFORT HIM]” She added.
