Just when the wedding bells seemed to be warming up, the music has abruptly stopped for comedian David Oyando, better known as Mulamwah, and his fiancée, Ruth K.

Their love story has taken an unexpected turn.

The comedian, in a terse all-caps announcement on Thursday, April 10, 2025, confirmed the split from the mother of his young son, declaring, “YES, ITS TRUE WE HAVE DECIDED TO PART WAYS WITH R.K. It was nice while it lasted.”

But was it truly “nice while it lasted,” or is there more to this abrupt ending? Given the couple’s past penchant for generating online buzz, the timing of this announcement – a mere month after Ruth K proudly showcased her engagement ring – has raised eyebrows among their followers.

Could this be another chapter in the Mulamwah saga, a carefully crafted narrative designed to keep the internet talking?

Here are 5 things to know about their now-ended relationship:

1. Weeks After a Romantic Proposal

The split is particularly surprising given that Mulamwah proposed to Ruth K on February 17, 2025.

Ruth K shared the joyful news on Instagram, showcasing her engagement ring in a series of photos and videos, expressing her excitement about taking their relationship to the next level.

2. A Hardware Store Beginning

Mulamwah and Ruth K’s relationship reportedly began in 2021 at a hardware store in Kitale, where Ruth K was working.

Mulamwah was a customer, and their initial connection blossomed into a romance that they initially described as a close friendship, with Mulamwah often referring to Ruth K as his “bestie.”

3. Welcomed a Son in 2024

Despite their coy public pronouncements early on, their relationship deepened, and in February 2024, they welcomed their son, Oyando Jr.

This solidified their bond and public image as a couple and parents.

4. Mulamwah’s Second Public Breakup

This marks the second high-profile breakup for Mulamwah in a few years. In 2021, he ended his relationship with fellow content creator Caroline Muthoni, also known as Carol Sonnie, with whom he shares a daughter, Keilah Oyando, born in September 2021.

Their breakup was marked by public disputes over child support.

5. Ambiguity and Speculation

Neither Mulamwah nor Ruth K has provided specific reasons for their separation. Given their history of generating online buzz, the timing of this announcement so soon after their engagement has led some fans to speculate about the sincerity of the breakup.

As of now, Mulamwah has not further elaborated on the split.
