Charlene Ruto, daughter of President William Ruto, has responded to speculation about her personal life, addressing some of the most persistent rumors circulating about her. In a recent interview with SPM Buzz, she disclosed her celebrity crush while reaffirming her preference for a Kenyan partner.
During the interview, Charlene was asked about the wildest rumor she had heard about herself. She stated that the most bizarre claim was that she was interested in women, dismissing the speculation as completely untrue. She emphasized that such rumors were baseless and did not reflect reality.
Charlene also shared that her celebrity crush is American gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds. While acknowledging his talent and good looks, she made it clear that she would ultimately want to marry a Kenyan man.
The interview attracted various reactions from the public, with many people admiring her confidence and the way she handled the questions. Some social media users praised her intelligence and poise, while others complimented her appearance.
In a separate incident earlier this year, Charlene made headlines when she requested American preacher Benny Hinn to pray for her to find a husband. The moment sparked discussions online, with many Kenyan men expressing their interest in her. Additionally, rumors had linked her to gospel singer Daddy Owen, but he later clarified that they were just friends with shared interests in community projects.
Charlene has remained an active figure in youth empowerment, frequently engaging young people in initiatives aimed at providing opportunities and promoting talent development. Despite the speculation surrounding her personal life, she continues to focus on her public engagements and advocacy work.
