Kenyan TikToker and photographer Faustine Lukale, popularly known as Baba Talisha, has introduced his youngest son to his online followers.
The emotional revelation came as the family celebrated the boy’s first birthday. The content creator is well-known for sharing his journey through grief, single parenthood, and the discovery of new love.
The child, named Ty (Tyrell), was celebrated with a heartfelt post on social media. This is the first time Baba Talisha has fully unveiled the little-known son’s face to the public.
The Little King Turns One
The official birthday post was dedicated entirely to the one-year-old. The caption was filled with paternal affection.
“My little king, today you turn one, and you’ve brought nothing but joy into our lives. Watching you grow this past year has been a blessing I’ll forever be grateful for.”
The accompanying pictures were vivid and joyous. One photo featured the boy in a cheerful red and yellow ensemble, possibly matching a birthday theme.
The boy was pictured smiling, sitting in a clearly celebratory setting. Another image showcased the child in an all-white outfit, perhaps taken during a dedicated photoshoot.
Finding Love After Loss
The new addition to the family comes several years after a devastating tragedy. Baba Talisha lost his first wife, Milka, in a tragic road accident on August 15, 2020.
The accident occurred along the Thika Superhighway as they were returning from a photoshoot.
The crash also severely injured their first daughter, Talisha, who was forced to relearn basic motor skills after suffering a brain injury.
Baba Talisha’s life since then has been a public journey of healing and single fatherhood.
The Blended Family
Years after the passing of Milka, Faustine met his current partner, known as Miss Wanjey (Stella Walda). Miss Wanjey reportedly met Baba Talisha at an event she organised called ‘Sunday Hangout.’
Miss Wanjey has been publicly acknowledged as the content creator’s partner and the mother of the newborn son, Ty. She openly embraces the role of a stepmother—or
“bonus mum”—to the elder daughter, Talisha.
In his caption, Baba Talisha also celebrated the bond between Talisha and Ty.
“One of the most beautiful things has been seeing the bond between you and your big sister, Talisha. She really wanted company, and you’ve become her little best friend. I love how she sings for you, carries you around, protects you, and even shares her bed with you. You’re so lucky to have a sister who loves you that deeply.”
Miss Wanjey has been openly supportive of Baba Talisha, mentioning his late wife, recognising Milka’s enduring role in their family’s history.
A Testament to Resilience
Baba Talisha’s online journey has always been marked by resilience. His content started as a way to share his grief and his daughter’s recovery process. He has since become an influential photographer and brand marketer.
“Ty, may your life be full of happiness, love, and God’s favor. Daddy loves you so much, and I’m proud to celebrate this first milestone with you. Happy Birthday, my boy,” he concluded.
