While she did not give detailed reasons for the split, the news has drawn attention from fans who have followed the couple’s journey from romance to parenthood and engagement.

Love story
Their love story began after Raburu’s divorce from his ex-wife Marya Prude, marking a new chapter in his personal life that later became public.
Namu and Raburu‘s relationship had long attracted attention in Kenya’s entertainment and digital space, partly because both are well-known public figures.
Over time, they built a family together and often shared glimpses of their life online, making them one of the more closely followed celebrity couples.
Despite the public interest, both maintained a relatively controlled approach to their private matters, choosing what to share and what to keep away from the spotlight.
Children and family life
During their relationship, the couple welcomed children together, a journey they frequently celebrated publicly.
Namu and Raburu were blessed with their first child, a son named Mali, who was born on July 3, 2021.
In 2022, they announced the arrival of their baby girl, a moment that Raburu described as a joyful blessing to their family.
The couple often embraced parenting in the public eye, sharing glimpses of their family milestones and experiences as they raised their children together.
Engagement
The pair also got engaged in 2022 during a surprise proposal that took place during their son’s first birthday celebration. The moment featured a live musical performance before Raburu went down on one knee, with Ivy later sharing her excitement online.
Separation
Their relationship, which unfolded publicly through social media, included major milestones such as the birth of their children and a widely shared engagement.
As they now go their separate ways, both Ivy Namu and Willis Raburu remain public figures with strong individual followings, while fans reflect on the journey they once shared.
