While her marriage to Chivayo has significantly increased her public profile, she continues to maintain a relatively private life.
Lulu and Chivayo’s Love Life
Lulu Muteke and Wicknell Chivayo’s relationship became public in December 2024 after the businessman shared photographs of the couple on social media.
Their romance progressed quickly, with Chivayo proposing to Lulu in February 2025. The couple went on to marry later that year, holding their traditional marriage ceremony in March at Lulu’s family home in Marondera, Zimbabwe.
The celebrations attracted prominent guests and performances from several well-known Zimbabwean entertainers. They later held a religious wedding ceremony within the Johane Masowe eChishanu congregation.
