In a revelation that has sent shockwaves across the gospel scene in East Africa, Kenyan pastor Robert Lumbaso has finally confirmed that he is a married man and his wife is none other than iconic Tanzanian gospel powerhouse Rose Muhando.
The dramatic confirmation came during a church service, where Pastor Lumbaso boldly addressed months of whispers, online speculation and hushed gossip surrounding his closeness to the gospel star. With authority and confidence, he told congregants that Rose Muhando is “already taken”, firmly warning admirers and suitors to back off and respect their marriage.
According to the pastor, the union was quietly sealed after all traditional rites were honoured, including the payment of dowry in 2023 ,a detail that caught many fans by surprise given how successfully the couple kept their relationship under wraps. The low-key approach only added fuel to the mystery, making the confirmation all the more explosive.
So, who is Pastor Robert Lumbaso? He is a Kenyan preacher known for his firm, uncompromising teachings, deep involvement in ministry, and a growing following both locally and across the region. Though not one to chase the limelight, Lumbaso has steadily built a reputation as a disciplined pastor who values order, privacy, and biblical principles; traits that insiders say resonated strongly with Muhando.
For Rose Muhando, often crowned the Queen of Gospel in East Africa, the announcement marks a powerful personal turning point. The celebrated singer behind timeless hits like Nibebe and Utamu Wa Yesu has endured years of public scrutiny, personal struggles, and spiritual battles. In past interviews, she maintained that marriage would only come when God approved and when the right partner , spiritually grounded and supportive appeared.
Fans across Kenya, Tanzania, and beyond have reacted with a mix of shock, excitement, and congratulations, with many praising the couple for choosing privacy over publicity in an age of social media over sharing. As the dust settles, one thing is clear: this is one gospel love story no one saw coming ,and it has everyone talking.
