Charlene Ruto praises Isaya Yunge, says she cannot wait to do life with him

Charlene Ruto has publicly expressed her affection for her Tanzanian husband, Isaya Yunge, describing him as a man who has pursued, loved and adored her.
In a heartfelt message shared on Monday, August 10,2026, following their colourful traditional wedding in Kilgoris, Narok County, Charlene praised Yunge for the role he has played in her life, describing him as a man who has helped her grow while expressing excitement about their future together.
“Above all, to thank the one who pursued me, loves me, adores me, and sharpens me. A man after God’s own heart, so intelligent and smart, kind and caring,” Charlene wrote.
She went on to express her excitement about beginning married life with Yunge, saying she was looking forward to sharing the future with him.
“The event was beautiful, but I can’t wait to do life with you,” she added.

Charlene’s message came after the couple held their traditional wedding ceremony on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Ruto family’s Intonna Heritage Farm in Kilgoris.
The ceremony brought together members of the Ruto family and Yunge’s family for a celebration that marked an important milestone in the couple’s relationship.
The event attracted considerable public attention, with Charlene and Yunge’s relationship having largely remained private before their engagement and traditional wedding celebrations.

Yunge’s message to Charlene
Yunge has also previously shared affectionate messages about Charlene, giving the public a glimpse into their relationship.
In the message, Yunge celebrated Charlene and expressed his happiness about having her in his life, offering a glimpse into the relationship that had largely remained away from the public eye.
The affectionate post generated interest among Kenyans as details of the couple’s relationship began to emerge.
Their journey subsequently progressed from the engagement celebrations to the traditional wedding ceremony in Kilgoris, where their families came together.
“My beloved, thank you, Heavenly Father, for blessing me with Your precious daughter. God gave me His best when He gave me you. Charlene, you are my good thing—my answered prayer and my greatest earthly gift. I will spend forever honouring you,” Yunge wrote.
The message came as the couple’s relationship moved into a more public phase ahead of their traditional wedding.
