Media personality Shes Kemunto has confirmed that her short-lived relationship with musician Ian Oure, popularly known as Iyanii, has come to an end. The couple, who had been dating for four months, reportedly parted ways due to differences in their interests.

“Contract iliisha. We both had different interests. We had a good time. Friends, we hang out a lot, we had a good time Dating, Iyanii and I, tulishindwa. One thing that I loved was the change in me that came with him. There so many things that I didn’t know that I would change. He gave me a whole new perspective on relationships and life. He is a good person. I will give it a try again and again. But dating ilikataa,” she said.
The couple had been in the public eye during their brief relationship, and fans had closely followed their interactions on social media.
Marriage
This comes a few months after Shes Kemunto urged Iyanii to move quickly and marry her.
She made it clear that despite their celibacy journey, she expects the wedding to happen soon, giving him no more than six months.
In a YouTube interview with Alex Mwakideu, Kemunto stressed that their relationship should head straight to marriage.
“You need to marry me quickly… how fast? At least six months,” Kemunto stated.
Her remarks come just days after Iyanii revealed details about his personal life during an interview with Alex Mwakideu on Saturday, September 20, 2025.
The Donjo Maber hitmaker disclosed that he is still a virgin at the age of 27 and has not been sexually intimate with Kemunto, despite their relationship.
Speaking during the interview, Iyanii said he and Kemunto have been dating for only a week, but he already considers their relationship serious. He surprised many by admitting that before meeting her, he had not been sexually involved with anyone.
“I have been dating Kemunto for a week now. Since we met, it has only been a week, and my point is that when you meet the right person, you do not need a whole year to get to know each other.”
“Before Kemunto, I was not seeing anyone sexually. By the way, I am still a virgin, and even Kemunto will agree with that. I am 27 years old, and I am serious about it,” Iyanii said.
The artist’s revelation shocked Mwakideu, who pressed him further on the subject, but Iyanii stood firm, reiterating his decision to remain celibate until marriage.
