Comedian Mulamwah has announced that he and his fiancée Ruth K have gone their separate ways, just a year after welcoming their son together. The surprising news comes only days before his much-anticipated comedy show, prompting speculation among fans about the timing of the announcement. Some Kenyans suspect the breakup could be a publicity stunt aimed at drawing more attention to the upcoming event.
A few days prior, observant fans had noticed that Mulamwah and Ruth K had unfollowed each other on social media, sparking rumors of trouble in paradise. The couple, who had long been admired online for their seemingly strong relationship and were often seen sharing romantic moments, had never before aired personal issues publicly. The announcement came as a shock to many who saw them as relationship goals.
Despite the emotional nature of the news, skepticism remains high. A number of people believe the couple’s public split is part of a calculated social media strategy. Some even speculate that Ruth may have moved back to her rural home, and that Mulamwah is attempting to win her back. In his own words, Mulamwah wrote, “Yes we have decided to part ways with R.K, it was nice while it lasted.”
Ruth K’s last public post featuring Mulamwah was made on March 26, adding more fuel to the fire for those trying to piece together the timeline of their breakup. Given that the couple had always shared glimpses of their relationship online, their sudden silence raised red flags for many fans.
The public reaction has been mixed. While some fans have expressed support for both parties, others criticized the timing of the announcement. Many pointed out that the country is currently focused on other pressing issues, and felt that the breakup post was insensitive or ill-timed. Some also called out what they saw as a desperate attempt at clout-chasing, questioning whether the breakup is even real.
Close acquaintances and celebrities have also chimed in with their thoughts. One celebrity friend commented that the show would attract viewers regardless of any drama, encouraging him to share the ticket link instead. Others stated that he didn’t need to resort to gimmicks, reminding him that his talent alone was enough to sell out shows.
Mulamwah and Ruth K had been together for nearly four years. Just two months ago, Mulamwah had proposed to Ruth, and she had proudly showcased the engagement ring on social media. Their relationship had appeared to be going strong, and many fans were eagerly following their journey toward marriage. He had even clarified that what some thought was a traditional wedding in 2023 was actually just a visit to Ruth’s family. The couple had worn matching traditional outfits, and shortly afterward, Ruth announced her pregnancy with their son, who they nicknamed Kalamwah.
As speculation continues, some fans remain hopeful that the breakup is just temporary, while others are convinced it’s part of a bigger promotional strategy. Whether real or staged, the announcement has certainly stirred public conversation and brought Mulamwah into the spotlight ahead of his big show.
