Bien-Aime Barasa, the talented and ever-charismatic member of the music group Sauti Soul, has long been known for his candidness and his ability to speak his truth. However, his outspoken nature has also led to a series of rumors and misunderstandings, especially regarding his relationship with his wife, Chiki Kuruka. The couple, who got married in 2020, have been the subject of much public fascination, and Bien has found himself in the role of a truth-teller, repeatedly debunking rumors that circulate about their love life.
One of the biggest misconceptions about the couple emerged in 2021 during an episode of the Sol Family reality show, where Bien shared his thoughts on personal freedom and the dynamics of his marriage. In a candid moment, he suggested that if he ever met his celebrity crush and they hit it off, he wouldn’t mind exploring that connection. In the same breath, he also implied that Chiki, his wife, might be open to such experiences too. This comment sent social media into a frenzy, with many people assuming that Bien and Chiki were living an open marriage lifestyle.
In response to the growing speculation, Bien has repeatedly clarified that his marriage to Chiki is far from the swinging lifestyle some imagined. Instead, he emphasized that their approach is based on trust and respect. “I want her to be happy, but I’m not losing sleep over it,” he explained. The couple, he insists, enjoys a relationship built on mutual trust and the freedom to be themselves—without any pressures or expectations from the outside world. Despite the speculative rumors, Bien has been clear that their relationship isn’t defined by the traditional norms but rather by an understanding that gives both of them the space to explore their happiness in their own way.
Bien’s relationship with Chiki has, however, captivated the public because of its modern take on love. Their dynamic may not fit into society’s typical mold of marriage, but it’s one that works for them. In an age where couples are constantly scrutinized and judged for their personal choices, Bien and Chiki have chosen to carve their own path. Their love story, while unconventional for some, is a testament to their commitment to each other, and it’s this authenticity that continues to keep fans and the media interested.
The couple’s wedding, which took place in 2020, is a prime example of their no-frills, genuine approach to life. With only 50 guests in attendance, including some of Kenya’s biggest music stars like Nyashinski and Nameless, the wedding was intimate, personal, and relatively low-budget, costing just Sh300,000. In an era where celebrity weddings are often grandiose affairs that cost millions, Bien and Chiki’s decision to keep it simple and focus on what truly matters—love—was a refreshing change.
Their choice to marry in a modest ceremony speaks volumes about their priorities. For Bien, the joy of the day wasn’t about lavish spending or opulent displays, but about celebrating his love for Chiki with the people who truly mattered. This decision also highlighted their shared values and their desire to live authentically, away from the pressures that often come with fame and wealth.
Bien’s openness in discussing his relationship with Chiki has made him a polarizing figure in the public eye, but it’s also earned him admiration from many who see him as a voice of reason in a world obsessed with public images and expectations. Through his honesty, Bien has shown that love can be fluid, honest, and even a little bit unconventional and that’s perfectly okay. His marriage to Chiki may not look like the typical romance we see in the media, but it’s clear that it works for them, and that’s all that matters.
As Bien continues to break down barriers and challenge societal norms, one thing remains certain: his relationship with Chiki is theirs alone, and they’re not afraid to live it on their own terms. Whether you agree with their choices or not, Bien-Aimé Barasa and Chiki Kuruka’s modern love story is one that challenges expectations, keeps us talking, and reminds us that love doesn’t always have to fit the mold.
