Kenyan singer and actress Avril has taken fans by surprise after sharing rare glimpses of her son, whom she shares with music producer J Blessing.
The pair were romantically involved in 2017 and welcomed their son in 2018 before parting ways. Since then, Avril has kept her son entirely out of the public eye—until now.
In a recent Instagram post, Avril shared photos of a day out at the Nairobi Museum of Illusion with her son. Though she still chose not to reveal his face, fans couldn’t help but notice how much the little boy has grown.
"With the main love," Avril captioned the post, highlighting the deep bond she shares with her son.

The post quickly stirred reactions online. While many fans expressed surprise at how grown he looked, others questioned why Avril still conceals his face. She responded by explaining that it’s a conscious decision to protect his privacy while he's still young.
It's unclear whether Avril and J Blessing are actively co-parenting. The two have had a tumultuous history, including a public fallout in 2023 when Avril accused J Blessing of assault—allegations she later deleted. J Blessing acknowledged that they had an argument but claimed they had since moved past it.
J Blessing has since moved on and recently married fellow singer Bridget Blue. Avril, meanwhile, appears to be focusing on her acting career and motherhood.
Despite past controversies, Avril remains fiercely protective of her personal life—especially when it comes to her son. Her latest post has sparked conversation among fans, with many admiring her dedication to motherhood and privacy.
