Sheryl Gabriuella and Kabugi relationship
This came a year after Kabugi addressed rumours about his relationship with Sheryl Gabriella. In a Q&A on Instagram, he clarified that they are just colleagues who create couple content and nothing more.
Kabugi dismissed claims that he was jealous when Sheryl introduced her boyfriend during her birthday.
“I do not have a crush on my mama, Seba. She is an actress, singer, and journalist and still manages everything. She truly represents ‘Bidii’ (hard work). Most creatives probably admire her as well.”
