While we in the media enjoy covering sad news about celeb relationships-cause it sells, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a bunch of healthy successful celebrity relationships in Kenya that can give one hope for in the institution of marriage.
The celeb couples below remind us of the marriages that one can admire and seek to emulate. Let’s begin:
Isaac Mwaura and Nelius Rwamba
Politician Isaac and his wife Nelius have been married SINCE 2015. The lovebirds have never shied from sharing their sweet moments with Kenyans. Before walking down the aisle, the ODM-nomnated MP posted photos of him kneeling before his fiancée to propose.
Joyce Omondi and Waihiga Mwaura
The two are among the youngest celeb couples in Kenya. Waihiga Mwaura, a Sports anchor Citizen TV and salacious Joyce Omondi, became one several years ago. It is doubtless that Waihiga landed his eyes on the blessed queen during her time at Citizen TV as a host of the gospel show Rauka. What used to happen during commercials as the two dated is left to your imagination.
Linet Muraya (Size8) and DJ Mo
While this might be a controversial addition to this list, I believe it should be here. Why? Despite the cheating scandal that engulfed Dj Mo in late 2020, the couple has pulled together and look to be working hard to get their marriage back on the right track.
The couple’s addition in this list is for the simple reason that they show the complexities and nuances that occur in any relationship and whether people are willing to work on them.
Wahu and Nameless
The two musicians have been blessed with two beautiful kids since they got married 16 years ago. One thing that I love about them is their honesty about marriage and how much they believe in individual growth even while in a relationship.
Julie Gichuru and Anthony Gichuru
The popular media personality and her wealthy husband have been married for more than 20 years now and have 4 children together – 3 boys and one girl. The beautiful Julie who is 47 is a testament to the joys a wonderful relationship can bring to it’s participants.
Reverend Kathy Kiuna and Bishop Allan Kiuna
This Christian couple is one of the most popular Church leaders in the country. The wealthy couple has three children, two girls, and one boy.
The couple who founded Jubilee Christian Church are grandparents to 3 kids.
Emmy Kosgei and Apostle Madubuko
The Kalenjin gospel singer and her Nigerian pastor husband are the image of wedded bliss despite them having a large age difference.
The two held a lavish white wedding and a traditional one in Kenya and another one in Nigeria.
Njugush and Celestine Ndinda
The funnyman and his equally hilarious wife are sweethearts from the time they met in college. The two who have been blessed with a handsome baby boy, have a relationship that has lasted through thick and thin showing that even in this age of the sponsor and the slay queen that true love can exist.
Catherine Kamau and Phillip Karanja
Catherine Kamau aka Kate Actress met her filmmaker husband Phil while auditioning for an acting role. Despite Kate being a sassy character and also a single mother, Phil was smitten with her and after a successful chase was able to lock her down.
They were blessed with a baby girl in late 2019 and seem to be thriving.
Khaligraph Jones and Georgina Muteti
The tough as nails rapper showed that he had a soft underside when he finally revealed his beautiful wife, Georgina who he had kept hidden.
They have been blessed with 2 kids so far and while Khaligraph’s career thrives, so does his marriage.
Kambua and Jackson Mathu
The singer and her loving businessman husband were married for more than 6 years before Kambua finally got the fruit of the womb.
Despite that tough spell, the couple stayed together and have now been blessed with one kid and with another one on the way.
There are many more relationships that I haven’t included in this list but you get my point.
