Truth emerges: Identity of baby Charlene's fiancé was seen holding established
This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.
- Keen Kenyans set the record straight after Princess Nguema claimed Isaya Yunge had a child with another woman before marrying Charlene Ruto
- Sleuths dug up evidence casting serious doubt on Nguema's story about the baby Isaya was photographed holding
- Princess Nguema had already stirred controversy after leaking private chats with Isaya, reportedly as recent as February, just months before his engagement
Kenyans have rallied to defend Charlene Ruto's husband, Isaya Yunge, after social media personality Princess Nguema claimed he had fathered a child with another woman before their high-profile traditional wedding.
Nguema, who is the niece of a former Guinean president, first grabbed attention in Kenya after Isaya's engagement to Charlene at their expansive Kilgoris farm.
Did Isaya Yunge have a child?
Shortly after news of the traditional wedding broke, Nguema took to her Instagram account to publicly air her grievances, leaving pointed comments on ceremony photos and hinting at a personal connection to Isaya.
She also leaked private conversations the two had allegedly shared, with the chats reportedly running as recently as February, just six months before the engagement.
A section of Kenyans urged her to move on, but the commentary kept coming, culminating in the claims about the baby.
Online sleuths moved quickly to challenge the narrative, providing evidence suggesting the baby Isaya was photographed holding is not his child at all.
According to their findings, the infant belongs to his close friend David Wachira and his wife Cecilie, and Isaya had simply been babysitting.
The counter-evidence appeared to land with many Kenyans, who were quick to call out Princess Nguema for dragging an innocent seven-month-old into what they described as petty online drama.
The revelation about the baby's true parentage drew a wave of reactions online, with many users aiming Nguema while celebrating Isaya's apparent vindication.

@gracezarai took a more pointed stance:
"She played hard to get; now he moved to the next in line, amejam."
@manyarajayne turned the lens on Kenyans themselves, writing:
"Because Kenyans are entertaining her. People so badly want to hear bad stuff about him that they are even in her inbox sending messages."
@mwikalie_eunie suggested it was time to go straight to Nguema's account:
"Inafaa tufike kwa account yake sasa tumsalimie."
@asiiyah_m summed up the sentiment bluntly:
"The man she ghosted and looked down on married the first daughter."
The episode has reignited debate about the thin line between genuine heartbreak and online attention-seeking.
