Kenyan pastor Robert Lumbasi has publicly revealed that he is in a relationship with renowned Tanzanian gospel singer Rose Muhando, opening up about their union during a church service and warning men against pursuing the celebrated musician.
The revelation comes months after the Nibebe hitmaker spoke candidly about her personal life, disclosing that she has never been married because she had not found a man who loved her in accordance with biblical principles.
At the time, Muhando said she was in no rush to get married, questioning what value a man would add to her life without financial stability and genuine love. She also shared that she single-handedly raised her three children through what she described as divine wisdom and hard work, noting that all of them successfully reached university level without a father figure.
However, Pastor Lumbasi has now shed light on their relationship, stating that they are already traditionally married. Speaking during a church service, he cautioned men against approaching Muhando, declaring that she is no longer available.
“Men in this church should please not approach Rose. She is already taken. She is now a Luhya. It was very private. It is something that started a long time ago. The dowry has been paid. Everything is done,” Lumbasi said.
He further revealed that he travelled to Tanzania in 2023 to pay Muhando’s dowry, adding that the union attracted attention at the highest levels.
“I remember going to Tanzania to pay dowry in 2023 and they called me from State House and said it is Kenya marrying Tanzania. I love this woman, I respect this woman,” he added.
Lumbasi also noted that their relationship extends beyond marriage, saying they plan to work closely together in ministry. He said the couple is committed to taking their spiritual work to a new level and remaining closely connected to the church that hosted them during the service.
The announcement has sparked widespread discussion among fans and followers of both the pastor and the celebrated gospel singer, given Muhando’s previous public statements about marriage and relationships.
