Sonia Anena, better known as Icy Sonie, revealed her government name in a lively Q&A. The reality TV personality from the Reunion show thinks her humor lands well with family and friends, though the wider audience is still deciding.

Reflecting on behind-the-scenes moments from the Reunion set, Sonie hinted at juicy drama too sensitive to share without legal advice. Her first bikini post sparked reactions from friends rather than family, who often miss her social media antics.

Sonie stumbled into reality TV unexpectedly, never planning it initially. Her nickname ‘Icy’ stems from a high school heartbreak that left her heart frozen, a moniker that endured.

Embracing a lavish lifestyle, she lives by ‘I see it, I like it, I want it, I get it,’ even when finances are tight. A standout risky moment on the show was her quip to Esther about getting kids, which she later regretted for its poor phrasing.

As an Acholi girl, she explained the loaded meaning behind ‘Acholi deg ming,’ followed by playful cultural nuances others might miss. Dating in 2026, she says, trumps immigration hassles in complexity, with selfishness eroding loyalty.

On heartbreak in Kampala, Sonie declared: run from men everywhere, as both musicians and regular guys break hearts effortlessly. She’s no fixer of men, laughing off the idea, and believes Kampala women mix high standards with high tolerance amid tough relationship stories.
