Times have changed. Gone are the days when a single mother raised eyebrows. And thankfully, gone are the days some “ivy league” schools would turn their noses up at children from single parent families, refusing to admit them.

We are grateful that we are part of a generation that understands that these things happen.

And Mike Sonko understands this well enough not to put his daughter Saumu Mbuvi under any pressure. He understands that whatever happens, she will always be his daughter. And he will always remain her daughter’s grandfather.

You see, Saumu Mbuvi recently gave birth after revealing she had dumped her baby daddy who she claimed was a cheater and a womanizer. Sonko went on to say that he still loves and supports his daughter regardless.

"I love my daughter, I love even the boyfriend who is running for a parliamentary seat but I love him. These things happen in life," he said.

And Sonko has finally spoken about the fact that his granddaughter was born out of wedlock but that changes nothing. He loves her even more. And loves his daughter and will fully support her.

"He messed up...my daughter but this things happen...If one day he comes back and asks for forgiveness, I will forgive him, who am I not to forgive if God can forgive," he added.

When he was asked about what he thinks of Benson Gatu, Sonko said he held no grudge against him because breakups and misunderstandings were part of love and every relationship goes through its own challenges.

Here’s what he said:

MY DAUGHTER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FIANCÉ… BOYFRIEND. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER. SHE WAS CHASED BY THE HUSBAND… I WELCOMED HER BACK INTO MY HOME. SHE’S MY DAUGHTER, I LOVE HER… SHE’S MY BLOOD. I CANNOT CHASE HER AWAY BECAUSE SHE HAD A DISAGREEMENT WITH HER BOYFRIEND. SHE GAVE BIRTH… SHE’S COMING BACK HOME… AND I LOVE HER… I LOVE THE DAUGHTER ZAHA… I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MY DAUGHTER…AND I AM GOING TO LOVE HER MORE… I LOVE MY FAMILY AND MY DAUGHTER… IT’S A NORMAL FAMILY PROBLEM…IT’S NORMAL PART OF LOVE TO HAVE DOMESTIC ISSUES. WRANGLES ARE THERE , I CANNOT REFUSE MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE HAS GIVE BIRTH,” SONKO SAID IN PART.

Here's the full video as Sonko bares it all.
