Kenyan media continues to feature high-profile married couples whose careers in television, radio, and entertainment have made them some of the most recognized figures on air and off-screen.
Recent online discussions have also centered on journalist Larry Madowo and media personality Edith Kimani, whose long-term relationship has resurfaced in public conversation.
Posts circulating around May 3-4, 2026, show Edith sharing romantic photos with Madowo, sparking reactions about their relationship as articles and social‑media posts routinely refer to them as a couple, with some outlets even tracing back old photos and captions suggesting they may have been together since around 2014, well before either became internationally famous.
Larry Madowo and Edith Kimani
Larry Madowo is a Kenyan journalist and international correspondent for CNN, based in Nairobi, and host of African Voices Changemakers. Edith Kimani is a Kenyan journalist and media personality, working as a news anchor and reporter at the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW).
The relationship is widely perceived as romantic based on public appearances, social media interactions, and media coverage, though neither party has issued a formal joint confirmation.
The two are frequently seen together during holidays, birthdays, and trips, including visits abroad such as France and New York, as well as local outings. They also share photos and videos online that suggest a close personal connection.
Public commentary and media reports often describe them as a couple, citing affectionate posts, birthday messages, and playful exchanges that have fuelled ongoing speculation about their relationship status.
However, there is no explicit, unambiguous public declaration, such as a joint interview in which they call each other “partner” or “spouse”, so technically their relationship remains in the realm of semi-confirmed: widely treated as a couple by fans and media but not formally spelled out by the two themselves.
Citizen TV Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdallah
Citizen TV news anchors Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdalla are among Kenya’s most recognized media couples, having been married since 2009.
They are widely regarded as a media “power couple” for their joint presence in television journalism and their long-standing professional collaboration.

The separation lasted approximately seven months, during which both spoke publicly about their experiences, including issues of growth, mistakes, and reconciliation. Size 8 indicated she initiated the split but maintained that there was still an emotional attachment.
In February 2025, the couple reconciled and remarried in a private ceremony held in Sigona, Nairobi. The reunion followed a public re-engagement around Valentine’s Day, which was widely shared online.
They currently describe themselves as married, presenting their relationship as a renewed commitment built on reconciliation, faith, and a second chance.
