Kenyan businesswoman and TV presenter Betty Kyallo has made it clear that she’s not bothered by the ongoing criticism of her relationship with her younger boyfriend, Charliemny. In a recent Instagram post, Betty shared a series of pictures from a weekend spent with Charliemny, highlighting their time together in a playful and joyful manner. The two were seen enjoying a scenic moment, with Betty playfully teasing Charliemny as she captioned the post: “Just me and my best friend roaming around. Find someone to be playful with… The best feeling ever. Let me try waking him up @charliemny I Love You.”
Betty has faced significant scrutiny from social media users who have questioned her relationship with a younger man, particularly after rumors spread suggesting Charliemny was 21 years old. Initially, Betty kept the relationship private, but as time passed, she grew more confident and began showcasing her relationship more openly. She also defended the age gap, making it clear that Charliemny is an adult capable of making his own decisions.
In an interview with comedian Eric Omondi on his TV47 show last year, Betty firmly addressed the age rumors, stating, “A lot of what you see online is lies, that 21 is a total lie.” She clarified that even if Charliemny were indeed 21, he would still be an adult, urging her critics to move beyond the focus on age.
Betty further explained that the choice to showcase her relationship was her own, and she was done with the pressures of living up to societal expectations. “We just decided to give the older people some time to relax, you know, to focus on their own issues. As for the wedding, we are in no rush, that whole wedding pressure story is not for us, let me just focus on my baby for now,” she added, making it clear that she is not in a hurry to walk down the aisle.
Rumors about Betty’s relationship began swirling after she revealed on her “Friday With Betty” show on TV47 that she was in a serious and happy relationship. She also mentioned that her boyfriend hailed from Kenya’s western region. “Now I’m settled. I feel happy,” she had said, confirming that she was content with where she is in life.
Despite the critics, Betty has continued to live her life on her terms, silencing detractors with her confidence and clear stance on her relationship. In a world where social media opinions often dominate, Betty Kyallo is unapologetically choosing happiness and peace with her partner.
