Diana Marua and Bahati: Latest on Their Relationship as Wedding Question Returns

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan celebrity couple Diana Marua and Kevin Bahati have once again found themselves at the centre of public attention, this time over their relationship, their long-awaited wedding and a playful exchange about Bahati's interactions with other women.

The latest developments suggest that despite periodic rumours and public disagreements, the couple continues to publicly affirm their relationship.

On Tuesday, August 25, Bahati joked about his interactions with women while sharing a photo with Miss Kemunto, who featured in one of his music videos. The musician said the only time his wife allows him to get close to other women is when they are working on music videos.

Diana quickly challenged the claim in the comments, asking whether she actually gives him permission or simply discovers after the shoot that it has already happened. The exchange appeared playful and offered another glimpse into the couple's highly public relationship.

The light-hearted exchange comes just days after Diana publicly praised Bahati and reflected on the impact he has had on her life.

On August 20, Diana shared a message expressing gratitude to her husband, saying that because of him, her life had turned out to be more than she had prayed for.

The wedding question

But behind the affectionate exchanges is one issue that continues to attract attention: when will Diana and Bahati officially get married?

The couple has been together for nearly a decade, but Diana recently questioned why Bahati had not yet formally married her.

In May, she publicly asked him why he had never "put a ring" on her, despite their years together. Bahati responded that he had envisioned a major wedding and said he was willing to spend up to KSh100 million on the ceremony.

The issue resurfaced on August 25, with Diana again putting the spotlight on their long-awaited wedding as the couple approaches the decade mark in their relationship.

From breakup rumours to public reassurance

The renewed attention comes months after the couple faced speculation that their relationship was in trouble.

In March, Diana publicly pushed back against breakup rumours, praising Bahati for remaining committed to their union despite challenges they had experienced over the years.

She described their relationship as having faced difficult moments but said Bahati had continued to fight for their marriage. She also celebrated their journey towards a decade together.

The couple's relationship has continued to generate speculation partly because they frequently share aspects of their private lives online.

In April, Bahati himself criticised the practice of airing relationship disagreements publicly after Diana had unfollowed him. He questioned why their private issues were becoming subjects of public discussion and urged her not to bring their disagreements onto social media.

Despite those tensions, Diana later shared a series of photographs reflecting on their marriage and wrote that God had always been part of their story.

A decade of a highly public relationship

Diana and Bahati have built one of Kenya's most visible celebrity relationships, with their family life, business ventures and personal disagreements frequently playing out before their large social-media audiences.

Earlier this month, Diana marked 10 years since she met Bahati, recalling how their relationship began in 2016. She said she stopped seeing other people she was dating after deciding to focus on Bahati and described his faith and approach to their relationship as influential in winning her over.

The couple have also faced scrutiny over their age difference, with Diana recently recounting how society judged their relationship when they first got together. She said Bahati remained unbothered by the criticism and continued showing her love.

So, are Diana and Bahati still together?

Based on their most recent public interactions, there is no indication of a confirmed separation.

Instead, the latest developments show the two continuing to interact publicly as a couple, with Diana recently praising Bahati and the pair engaging in playful exchanges online. They have also continued appearing together at public and family events. On August 23, for example, the couple attended their long-serving pastor's wedding together.

For now, however, the biggest unanswered question remains the same one Diana has repeatedly raised: when will the highly anticipated Diana Marua-Bahati wedding finally happen?

Bahati's KSh100 million wedding promise has raised expectations considerably. Whether that grand ceremony materialises — and when — could become the next major chapter in one of Kenya's most closely followed celebrity relationships.
