President William Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto and her Tanzanian husband Isaya Yunge have set tongues wagging after photos and videos from a Kericho County wedding began circulating on social media on Thursday, 30 October 2026.
The couple was photographed walking hand-in-hand across a manicured lawn at what appeared to be an upscale outdoor reception, set beneath a white tent with glass walls. Fellow guests dressed in formal attire mingled in the background, confirming the event’s high-end tone.
What Charlene wore to the Kericho wedding
Charlene opted for a sleeveless, light-lavender knee-length fit-and-flare dress featuring pink floral embroidery at the waist, finishing the look with silver open-toe heels. The understated yet polished outfit quickly became the subject of lively debate in the comments section.
Isaya, who is the founder of SomaApp, a platform that links African students with scholarship opportunities, matched the occasion in a dark blue blazer, dark trousers, a white shirt and black shoes, rounding off the ensemble with sunglasses and a slim walking cane.
One of their first public outings as a couple
While the identities of the newlyweds whose wedding they attended have not been publicly confirmed, the outing is notable as one of Charlene and Isaya’s first shared public appearances in Kericho since formalising their own union.
The couple celebrated their traditional Kalenjin Koito ak Chaik ceremony, marking their engagement and farewell, on 8 August 2026 at the First Family’s Intona Heritage Farm in Kilgoris, Narok County.
Seeing them back in the Rift Valley region together for another wedding has only added to the public curiosity surrounding the newlyweds.
Their appearance also comes just weeks after a similarly lavish ceremony in Kipchimchim, Kericho County, which drew senior government figures including presidential aide Farouk Kibet and Senator Aaron Cheruiyot.
A video posted by True Signal News, captioned “Spotted Alongside Her Tanzanian Husband At A Wedding In Kericho Earlier Today,” quickly gathered attention, with Kenyans weighing in on everything from Charlene’s fashion sense to the couple’s visible chemistry.
Some commenters praised her for keeping the look simple and refined, while others sparked a broader conversation about celebrity style and married life.
