Kenyan pastor Robert Lumbasi has revealed that he privately married Tanzanian gospel singer Rose Muhando, ending speculation about the artist’s marital status and marking a new chapter in her life.
Speaking during a church service, Pastor Lumbasi confirmed that dowry was paid in 2023, formally completing traditional marriage rites. He urged congregants and fans to respect the union, noting that Muhando is “already taken.”
“The process began some time ago; the dowry has been paid, and everything is now settled,” he said.
Muhando, widely regarded as East Africa’s gospel queen, has faced significant struggles in her career and personal life. She has often said that as a child, she battled a serious blood disease that nearly claimed her life at age nine, requiring frequent hospital visits and blood transfusions.
Pastor Lumbasi explained that his affection for Muhando stems from a deep understanding of her journey. He acknowledged the challenges she has faced and drew parallels with his own experiences. “Rose has been through scandals, and I too have been with scandals. That is why I love her,” he said, emphasizing that their shared resilience has strengthened their bond.
