Artist Yago Pon Dat has opened up about the deep pain he is experiencing following his separation from his wife, Teta Christa. He shared his emotional testimony in a heartfelt video uploaded to his YouTube channel on June 25, 2025.
In his story, Yago explained that when Teta left him, he wasn’t home — he had gone to work. He said he received a message on his phone from Teta informing him that she had left and was gone.
Yago revealed that this deeply hurt him, especially because he and his wife had shared strong love, particularly since the birth of their first child, whom they named Life. He said: “Mama Life is the person I truly loved.”
Regarding what may have caused Teta to leave, Yago said there was no known conflict between them. However, based on his understanding, he remarked: “Maybe she suffered from postpartum depression.”
Yago added that after everything that happened, he decided to give up on love and focus on his career and music, so he can care for his life and his child. He said: “I’ve said goodbye to love. Now I’m going to work hard, focus on my family, and live well.”
The artist had recently been celebrating the birth of his firstborn. In March 2025, he had even composed a love song for Teta titled “Elo,” expressing hope for a bright future for their family. What happened to him, he likened to a Rwandan proverb: “The one you trust most is the one who hurts you the most.”
He concluded by thanking those who have supported him during this difficult time, asking them not to pity him because he is a man and must overcome this.
