Rumors are circulating that travel and lifestyle content creator Natalie Tewa and her fiancé Francis Mbugua have broken up.
The couple, who were engaged in 2022, have reportedly unfollowed each other on social media and deleted photos of each other from their Instagram pages.
Mbugua was also absent from Tewa’s 30th birthday celebration, which took place on Sunday, December 3, 2023.
Neither Tewa nor Mbugua has publicly addressed the breakup rumors. However, their social media activity and Mbugua’s absence from Tewa’s birthday celebration suggest that there may be trouble in paradise.
Tewa and Mbugua had a highly publicized relationship.
They often shared photos and videos of themselves together on social media, and they were frequently featured in articles and interviews about their relationship.
The couple’s apparent breakup is a surprise to many fans, who had been following their love story closely.
Tewa had initially kept her romantic life under tight wraps since her much-publicised breakup with her Ugandan boyfriend Moses ‘Rnaze’ Mukiibi in 2019, amid infidelity allegations.
In an August 2022 YouTube Q&A, the blogger was asked by a fan where she sees herself in the next five years, to which she responded: “I definitely see myself just growing a family… all my life I have wanted to be a mom.”
“I have plans for my business and plans to continue content creation but most of all, I plan to have a happy family,” she added then.
The blogger got engaged to Mbugua in February this year. She surprised her fans after sharing a series of photos from her engagement on her Instagram page.
The blogger said ‘Yes’ in an intimate ceremony in Nyali, Mombasa, where she had been vacationing over the weekend with her girlfriends.
“In the spirit of love, I’ve got some news… I said YES,” Natalie captioned the first photo of her fiancé holding her hand after he put a ring on it.
She followed it with an obscure elevator selfie of the two showing Tewa leaning on the man’s shoulder, and attached American singer India.Arie Simpson’s Steady Love Song’s lyrics:
“He puts every other man I’ve ever known to shame (known to shame)/ I just wanna be with him, talk to him, sleep near him, walk with him/ Be with him (every day)/ I wanna be lovers and friends and mother his children/ Make breakfast on Sunday and fight and then make up again/ ‘Cause if life’s gonna be crazy anyway/ I wanna do it with him.”
Tewa then unveiled her future husband’s identity in another photo, tagging him in a shot of the engagement ring, which she said was a very very slightly included (VVS) diamond ring.
“@mbugua4 VVS diamonds look very good on me, and you know my style very well. Love it,” she said, adding, “I was caught very unaware! He hid this from me very well.”
