Kenyan comedian Eddie Butita has finally answered his grandmother’s heartfelt plea by introducing her to his new girlfriend, Cele Terer — marking the end of years of being single and private about his love life.
In a touching moment captured on video and shared across his social media platforms, Butita’s grandmother was visibly overjoyed as she embraced Cele in a warm and genuine welcome. The emotional meeting was the culmination of years of gentle nudges from his beloved grandmother, who had long yearned to see her grandson find love and bring home a partner.
In June 2024, during a visit to his rural home, Butita was joined by fellow entertainers Abel Mutua and Njugush, both accompanied by their wives. The gathering created the perfect setting for his grandmother to express a wish she had often repeated over the years — to see her grandson with someone special.
With a soft but hopeful smile, she had asked, “I want to see her,” referring to Butita’s girlfriend. Butita responded with assurance: “You will see.” Abel also chimed in, promising the elderly woman that Butita would eventually bring someone home, encouraging him to do so while she was still strong.
True to his word, Butita returned — this time, not just with friends, but with someone special by his side.
Cele Terer, a stunning model known for her charm and poise, instantly connected with Butita’s grandmother. The video montage shared by Butita included flashbacks of his grandmother’s earlier requests and culminated in the heartfelt moment when Cele entered the house, receiving a warm embrace from the visibly elated matriarch.
The pair spent time chatting, laughing, and bonding — a moment that fans and followers have described as “wholesome,” “beautiful,” and “long overdue.”
Butita captioned the video: “I delivered and Kukhu is Happy. She finally met @celleterer.”
The emotional moment didn’t go unnoticed. Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages and heartfelt reactions. Joyce Gituro commented: “True, genuine love from Shosh. Well done @eddiebutita.” Elphasx shared: “Ata mimi am very happy sasa nitakutafuta tuonge kama wazee.” Bridgit Odhiambo joked: “Huyu anajua kupika ugali? 😂😂😂 Congratulations @eddiebutita.” Marienduta254 wrote: “Indeed, there is a season for everything under the sun. Hongera @eddiebutita.”
Many fans highlighted how moving it was to see Butita fulfilling such a personal and meaningful promise to his grandmother.
Butita has kept a low profile on his romantic life since his publicized breakup with fellow comedian Mammito Eunice. His close-knit circle of friends — which includes celebrated creatives like Abel Mutua, Phil Karanja, Njugush, Celestine Ndinda, and Judy Nyawira — are known for their family-oriented lives, which had placed the spotlight on Butita as the last bachelor in the group.
With this introduction, it seems Butita has now stepped into a new chapter, one that fans are already calling “a beautiful love story in the making.”
Earlier this year, Butita also shared another proud moment with fans when he welcomed his mother to his company, SPM Buzz Studios. In the video, he gave her a tour of the modern office, highlighting his journey as a creative entrepreneur. Netizens praised him for his humility, hard work, and unwavering family values.
As fans continue to celebrate this new milestone, many are now eagerly watching to see what the future holds for Eddie Butita and Cele Terer — a couple that has already won hearts with one simple but powerful gesture: family.
