Celebrated Kenyan gospel singer Ruth Matete has opened up about a new chapter in her personal life, revealing that she has found love again years after the painful loss of her husband, Pastor John Apewajoye.
The “Mapenzi” hitmaker recently shared a romantic moment on her Facebook Stories, posting a photo of herself warmly embraced by her new partner.
Although she did not show his face, the image captured him kissing her on the cheek in what appeared to be a tender and intimate moment.
The singer seemed comfortable and happy as she gave fans a glimpse of her new relationship.
In a playful caption written in Swahili, Matete jokingly admitted that she gets anxious whenever he fails to pick up her phone calls.
She also added the song “God Is In This Story” by Katy Nicole, a choice that many fans interpreted as a sign that she believes her new relationship is part of God’s plan for her life.
Matete has kept her relationship private for some time, and it is not clear how long they have been dating. However, her decision to share the photo publicly signals a significant step in her healing journey.
The singer was widowed in April 2020 after her Nigerian husband tragically passed away following a gas cylinder accident at their home.
At the time, they had been married for only four months, and she was pregnant with their daughter. Since then, Matete has focused on raising her child and rebuilding her life.
Her recent post has been received warmly by many supporters, who see it as a hopeful and beautiful new beginning for the gospel star.
