Inside Nick Ruto’s Education, Legal Career and Family Life Away From the Spotlight

President William Ruto’s eldest son, Nicholas Kipkurgat Ruto, has maintained a relatively low public profile while building a career in law.

Unlike his younger brother George Ruto, who frequently attracts attention through his business ventures and public appearances, Nick has largely kept his professional and family life away from the spotlight.

A profile shared by Kenya Times on Instagram on Friday, November 13, 2026, highlighted his educational background, legal career and family life.

Born on September 9, 1991, Nick is 35 years old and holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa.

After completing his university studies, he enrolled at the Kenya School of Law, where he undertook the Advocates Training Programme and completed the required pupilage.

In 2018, his name was gazetted as an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. A year later, then-Chief Justice David Maraga formally admitted him to the roll of advocates after he passed the Kenya School of Law examinations.

Nick has built his career in the legal profession, working at Dentons Hamilton Harrison and Mathews, one of Nairobi’s established commercial law firms.

According to the report, he has been practising at the firm since 2024, continuing to develop his experience in the legal sector.

His professional journey has largely remained outside the public spotlight, with limited information about his work and day-to-day activities shared publicly.

Away from his career, Nick is married to Evelyn Chemutai Ruto.

The couple held a traditional Kalenjin Koito ceremony in January 2022 and have one child together.

His preference for a private lifestyle contrasts with the public visibility of some members of the presidential family, particularly George, whose business interests have attracted considerable attention.

George has ventured into several businesses, including the Raptor Family luxury matatu fleet, sports management and apparel enterprise 82 Sports, Jamhuri Soccer Academy and clothing brand Tisap Threads.
