It was a week packed with glamour, family moments and viral footage from one of Kenya’s most talked-about weddings. Here are the top entertainment stories from NEWSUNPLUG.co.ke.
1. Inside Isaya Yunge’s customised Mercedes-Benz
Tanzanian tech entrepreneur Isaya Yunge became the talk of social media after footage emerged of him riding in a customised Mercedes-Benz G63 during his wedding festivities with Charlene Ruto in Mwanza.
The convoy was hard to miss, partly because of a personalised number plate that read “THE YUNGES” and featured the Tanzanian flag.
Clips filmed from inside the vehicle showed the newlyweds in high spirits, laughing and soaking in the early moments of married life following their beachside ceremony.
Guests flying in from Kenya also travelled in style, on specially branded flights complete with personalised headrest covers.
2. Rachel Ruto keeps family photo in order
First Lady Rachel Ruto showed her sharp eye during the family group portrait session at Charlene’s celebrations.
When she noticed that George Ruto had positioned himself beside Nick’s wife rather than his own partner, Rachel stepped in calmly and rearranged the lineup so that couples stood together.
The moment, captured on video, earned her widespread admiration online for the quiet, motherly authority she displayed.
3. Isaya’s grandmother steals the show
One of the most touching moments of the entire celebration came courtesy of Isaya Yunge’s grandmother, the woman who raised him after his parents separated.
She arrived at the Mwanza wedding looking effortlessly stylish in a chic brown ensemble paired with a matching fascinator.
Her appearance moved many online viewers, particularly given the detail that Isaya had walked down the aisle alone before she made her entrance.
The outpouring of warmth directed at her was one of the week’s most heartfelt highlights.
4. Fans get a rare glimpse of Nick Ruto’s wife
A TikTok clip filmed at the Malaika Beach Resort gave the public one of their clearest views yet of Evelyn Chemutai, the wife of President William Ruto’s eldest son, Nick Ruto.
Chemutai was spotted standing composed and elegantly dressed at the edge of the official family portrait lineup.
Despite the high-profile setting, she maintained her signature low-key presence, which only seemed to deepen public curiosity and admiration for her.
5. Isaya’s journey to marrying Charlene
Tanzanian entrepreneur Isaya Yunge shared reflections and footage of his journey to Mwanza, Tanzania, to marry Charlene Ruto, describing it as the purest and most meaningful trip of his life.
He touched down via a private jet to a grand reception featuring a convoy of luxury Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons, while guests flying in from Kenya enjoyed specially branded flights with personalised headrest covers.
The luxurious preparations and thoughtful touches surrounding the high-profile wedding drew widespread fascination and praise from online fans.
Last week’s highlights included Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s wife, Didi Wamukoya’s profile as an accomplished environmental lawyer and Director of Counter Wildlife monitoring at the African Wildlife Foundation.
The roundup also covered musician Bahati, who expressed gratitude after surviving a frightening road accident that left his Toyota Prado badly wrecked just days before a major family milestone, alongside other prominent regional celebrity updates.
