Kenyan content creator Kennedy Kabugi has taken a moment to clarify the misconceptions surrounding his relationship with Sheryl Cherono Gabriella. Addressing these speculations in a Q&A on his Instagram stories, Kabugi unequivocally asserted that they are simply colleagues collaborating on couple-themed content.
As he has emphasized previously, Kabugi stated, ‘siwezi kula stock,’ emphasizing his commitment to maintaining a professional boundary. Dismissing any notions of jealousy when Sheryl introduced her boyfriend during her birthday celebration, Kabugi made it clear that he does not harbor romantic feelings for her.
Rather than focusing on personal feelings, Kabugi seized the opportunity to commend Sheryl for her unwavering dedication to her various roles as an actress, singer, and journalist. He described her as a perfect embodiment of ‘Bidii’ (hard work), acknowledging that many creatives likely admire her for the same reasons.
In a previous interview, Kabugi had articulated his stance on not pursuing a romantic relationship with Sheryl, highlighting the potential harm it could inflict on their professional collaboration. He humorously likened their connection to a business partnership, stating, “Mi husema usiwahi kula stock, mi pia ni stock yake in a way,” underscoring the importance of maintaining a working relationship.
Addressing persistent rumors about their romantic involvement, Kabugi and Sheryl took a unified stance, affirming that they had never dated or been a couple. They clarified that their on-screen chemistry was a testament to their acting skills rather than any real romantic connection.
Recently, during Sheryl’s birthday celebration, she not only marked another year in her life but also revealed her relationship status as “taken.” Despite the public introduction of her boyfriend, Kabugi played a supportive role as the cameraman, reinforcing the fact that their dynamic is purely professional.
