A well-known Kikuyu gospel musician and philanthropist, Karangu Muraya, has taken a big step in his personal life after proposing to his lover, Carol Kim.
The news has attracted attention online, especially among his fans and followers who have been closely watching his life over the years. The proposal appears to mark a new chapter in their relationship, which has often been discussed on social media.
The news became public after Carol Kim shared a short video on her Facebook stories on Sunday, December 28. In the clip, she showed a bouquet of red roses, but what caught the attention of many people was the ring clearly seen on the fourth finger of her left hand.
Although she did not directly mention an engagement, the ring strongly suggested that Karangu Muraya had proposed to her. The video quickly spread online, with many people sharing screenshots and reacting to the moment.
For a long time, Carol Kim had not been seen wearing an engagement ring. This made the recent post even more meaningful, as it appeared to confirm that their relationship had moved to a more serious stage. Many of her followers took this as a clear sign that she had accepted a proposal from the gospel singer.
It is also important to note that Karangu Muraya had already paid dowry to Carol Kim’s family before this proposal.
This information was earlier revealed by his estranged first wife, Triza Njeri, during a TikTok live session earlier in the year.
During that session, Triza expressed shock after learning that Karangu had paid dowry without informing her. The revelation caused strong reactions online and added tension to the situation.
According to Triza, she was deeply hurt by the news and felt disrespected. She openly said that she was not comfortable being in a polygamous marriage.
She also shared that she was unhappy with how Karangu was treating Carol Kim, saying he was giving her a comfortable life in the city while she remained in the village with their children, struggling to make ends meet.
After discovering that Karangu was unwilling to end his relationship with Carol Kim, Triza decided to walk away from the marriage.
She later made it clear that she no longer wanted to be referred to as his wife. Since then, she has been raising their children on her own. She has also built a new path for herself as a gospel musician and brand influencer, focusing on her personal growth and independence.
As things stand, Karangu Muraya and Carol Kim appear to be moving forward with their relationship. While reactions from the public remain mixed, the engagement has clearly marked a new phase in their lives.
The situation continues to draw attention, especially given the emotional journey involving all parties connected to the story.
