Gospel singer and philanthropist Karangu Muraya had his fans talking on Thursday, August 20, after he posted a glowing tribute to his second wife, Carol Kim.
He showered her with praise and gratitude in the heartfelt Facebook post.
What did Karangu say about Carol?
"Appreciation post. Dear Lord, thank you for giving me a caring, supportive and loving wife. Thank you, my Carol, for always being there for me; thank you for always giving me a shoulder to lean on. From the bottom of my heart, I love you, mama Ariana," he wrote, alongside three photos of Carol styled in different outfits, including a red floral midi dress, a grey and blue plaid midi dress, and a yellow fitted dress.
The post resonated widely, partly because Kenyans have watched Carol stand firmly beside Karangu through one of the most turbulent periods of his life.
How did Carol support Karangu?
When his brother Kagema fell seriously ill, Carol reportedly spent sleepless nights at the hospital caring for him.
She later shared screenshots of her final WhatsApp conversations with Kagema, which touched on his medical reports and doctors' appointments, revealing just how close the two had become.
After Kagema's passing, the family faced a wave of online speculation and cyberbullying over the circumstances of his death.
Carol did not shy away, publicly defending the family and urging people to respect their privacy during mourning.
She stood by Karangu at the burial of his other brother, Paul Muraya. It was during the funeral period that Karangu officially introduced Carol’s parents to his family and the public.
How did Carol become Karangu's wife despite him already being married?
Carol entered Karangu's life as his second wife, a union that sparked significant debate.
Before their marriage, Carol had been in a previous relationship, and she reportedly initiated a divorce, ensuring her family returned the dowry in line with Kikuyu customary practice.
When Karangu publicly introduced her as his second wife, the announcement drew strong reactions, with his first wife, Triza Njeri, publicly accusing him of neglect.
Karangu later stated his intention to continue supporting both wives and their children.
