A quiet but meaningful change has taken place in the life of one of East Africa’s most respected gospel voices. Rose Muhando, the well-known Tanzanian gospel singer, is now married. She recently tied the knot with Kenyan pastor Robert Lumbasi in a private ceremony that was kept away from public attention, a move that surprised many of her fans when the news finally came out.
For years, Rose Muhando has been known for her strong voice, deep worship songs, and firm commitment to her faith. Her music has touched many lives across Tanzania, Kenya, and the wider region.
Even with such fame, she has always drawn a clear line between her public ministry and her personal life. This approach did not change when she entered a relationship with Pastor Lumbasi. The two managed to keep their journey together private, something that is not common among public figures today.
According to people close to the couple, their relationship began taking a serious direction in 2023. During that time, Pastor Lumbasi followed cultural traditions by paying dowry, a key step that showed his intention and respect for family values.
From then on, the couple chose to grow their bond quietly. They avoided public events together and stayed away from social media discussions, allowing their relationship to develop without pressure or public judgment.
The wedding ceremony itself reflected the same values. It was small, calm, and personal, attended only by close family members and trusted friends. There were no flashy displays or public announcements. Instead, the focus was on faith, commitment, and the meaning of marriage.
Many people who later learned about the wedding praised the couple for choosing a simple path that matched their spiritual beliefs.

Once the news became public, messages of support quickly spread online. Fans congratulated Rose Muhando and shared prayers for her new marriage. Many said they were happy to see her find personal happiness while continuing to serve through her music.
Her supporters noted that marriage does not take away from her calling but instead adds strength and stability to her life. Members of Pastor Lumbasi’s church also welcomed the news warmly, calling the union a blessing and a good example for believers.
This new chapter comes at a time when Rose Muhando is still active in her music ministry. She continues to release songs and minister to people through worship, showing that marriage and purpose can exist side by side. Those close to her say the relationship is built on shared faith, respect, and understanding, which are important foundations for both marriage and ministry.
They have not shared many details and seem content with keeping their life peaceful and focused.
