“Keeping a marriage in the public eye is not easy, there is a lot that goes on and I just want to thank my husband Bahati, I want to thank you very much, there is a lot that has been said about me and a lot of things that have been said about me are not anything much to take home, they are not positive things but you really stood up for me,” Diana explained.
“I love you for the fact that when you come home you are not Bahati the celebrity that people know you, you come back, you are my husband, you are the father to my kids, you are my pillar, my anchor, and my best friend and I want to thank you for that.”
