Mulamwah and Ruth K Part Ways Weeks After Engagement

Kenyan comedian and digital content creator David Oyando, better known as Mulamwah, has confirmed his breakup with fiancée Ruth K, just weeks after a highly publicized engagement that had fans celebrating their love story. The announcement, made on Thursday via Mulamwah’s social media platforms, has left netizens divided, with some questioning the authenticity of the split and others speculating about the underlying causes of the sudden end to their four-year relationship.
Mulamwah, 28, shared the news in a brief but bold statement:

YES, ITS TRUE WE HAVE DECIDED TO PART WAYS WITH R.K. It was nice while it lasted.

The post, which quickly spread across social media, came as a shock to many, given the couple’s recent milestones. Mulamwah proposed to Ruth K on February 17, 2025, in a romantic gesture that had the 25-year-old content creator flaunting her engagement ring on Instagram with the caption, “Yes it is .” The couple, who welcomed their son, Oyando Jr. (affectionately nicknamed Kalamwah), on February 10, 2024, had appeared to be on a steady path toward marriage, having also held a traditional introduction ceremony in October 2023.
The breakup marks the end of a relationship that began in 2021, shortly after Mulamwah’s highly publicized split from his first baby mama, Carol Sonnie, with whom he shares a daughter, Keilah Oyando. Mulamwah and Ruth K’s journey had been a public affair, with the couple frequently sharing their day-to-day lives, from creating content together to celebrating parenthood. Their relationship had weathered challenges, including Ruth’s unexpected pregnancy, which altered their wedding plans due to cultural traditions that prohibit a dowry payment ceremony (ruracio) during pregnancy. Despite these hurdles, their bond seemed unshakable—until now.
The timing of the breakup has raised eyebrows, as it coincides with Mulamwah’s upcoming comedy show, “Let Me Explain,” scheduled for April 20 at the Kenya National Theatre. Some netizens have dismissed the split as a publicity stunt, pointing to the couple’s history of clout-chasing. Rumors of a breakup first surfaced days ago when online observers noticed that Mulamwah and Ruth K had unfollowed each other on Instagram. A section of fans speculated that Ruth had moved back to her rural home in Kitale, while Mulamwah was reportedly trying to win her back. However, the comedian’s official announcement has only fueled further debate.
Posts on X reflect a mix of skepticism and concern. Some users have labeled the breakup “kiki” (a playful term for a stunt), suggesting it’s a marketing ploy to boost ticket sales for Mulamwah’s show. Others have questioned whether Mulamwah might be the common denominator in his failed relationships, with one user asking, “Does this sound like a concern given that he initially parted ways with the first baby mama? It seems like he might be the problem, or could it be that his choice of women is wanting?” Meanwhile, another user remarked, “What whole story buana we are in the onset of war with a blood thirsty dictator,” highlighting the disconnect between celebrity gossip and broader national issues.
Mulamwah’s past relationship with Carol Sonnie, which ended in 2021 amid accusations of infidelity and financial disputes, has also been dragged into the conversation. That breakup was marked by public drama, including a child support dispute and Mulamwah taking over Sonnie’s social media accounts, which she claimed forced her to start afresh. In contrast, his split with Ruth K has so far been free of public accusations, but the timing—coming so soon after an engagement—has left fans speculating about what might have gone wrong. Some have even pointed to Mulamwah’s recent visit to Sonnie’s home in August 2024 to see their daughter Keilah as a possible point of tension, though there’s no evidence to support this theory.
Reflecting on Mulamwah and Ruth K’s relationship, it’s clear they had a strong public presence. Ruth, a former teacher turned internet sensation, often spoke about their bond, emphasizing their faith and shared goals. In a 2023 interview, she addressed the possibility of a breakup, saying, “We don’t care about that for us; we are always praying for the best because we believe this is what God wants for us.” The couple’s journey included creating content together, traveling, and signing deals, with Mulamwah once describing the experience of living with Ruth during her pregnancy as “uniquely memorable.” Their traditional introduction ceremony in 2023 was a significant step, earning the blessings of their families, even if a full wedding was delayed due to Ruth’s pregnancy.
