Daddy Owen finds himself in the spotlight amidst swirling rumors suggesting a romantic involvement with Charlene, the daughter of Kenyan President William Ruto. Adding fuel to the speculation, Langata MP Phelix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalango, humorously proclaimed that Daddy Owen should now be hailed as the “First-in-law.”
In a lighthearted tone, Jalango urged the media to adopt the new title for Daddy Owen, emphasizing the sweetness of the term “in-law.” He playfully insisted that everyone repeat the designation, revealing that Daddy Owen is not just a public figure but also one of his closest friends actively engaged in charitable endeavors.
Jalango shared insights into Daddy Owen and Charlene’s philanthropic initiatives, disclosing their joint plans to establish foundations aimed at assisting the less fortunate. He highlighted their shared commitment to charity and underscored the similarities in their social media pages, where both promote the narrative of giving back to the community.
Addressing any potential controversies, Jalango recalled an event in Kakamega, asserting that during Charlene’s visit, their focus was on charity work rather than any romantic involvement. With laughter, he playfully attributed the rumors to divine intervention, saying, “Mungu anaisaida kwa kudanganya” (God helps with deception).
Daddy Owen’s personal life has seen its share of challenges, including a divorce from his wife, Farida Wambui, after a four-year marriage. Media coverage of their marital struggles unfolded as his ex-wife made various demands, including the removal of all family photos from social media. The gospel artist faced a period of depression but seems to have found solace and rejuvenation through his relationship with the president’s daughter.
Reflecting on the events of 2023, Daddy Owen expressed gratitude to God for a positive year, with a special highlight being Charlene’s visit to his home in Kakamega. Describing the festive celebration filled with songs, dance, and traditional delicacies, he painted a picture of happiness in his Ebhusang’ang’a village, showcasing the positive impact of their connection.
