Kenyan comedian and entertainment mogul Eddie Butita has officially confirmed he is off the market, and his fans can’t get enough of the reveal. In a now-viral street interview, Butita playfully declared himself a “present boyfriend,” leaving social media users both charmed and confused after he dropped a mix of romantic declarations and cautionary dating advice.
The funnyman made headlines after debuting his stunning girlfriend, model Celle Terer, in a sleek Instagram post that showed the couple dressed to the nines. The photo, taken in a stylish urban setting, was a soft yet confident relationship reveal that effectively silenced long-standing speculation about his love life.
Having parted ways with fellow comedian Mammito three years ago, Butita had often found himself the subject of playful teasing from fans and friends over his bachelor status. But this time, he leaned into the moment—owning his romantic life with flair and a dose of humor.
A viral clip captured Butita during a candid street interview, gushing over Celle with unmistakable affection. “Kijana handsome kama mimi hawezi kuwa soko. I am on demand. Nakuwa aje soko? I am currently a present boyfriend,” he said with a smirk. He went on to add, “Sisi ni wale tukitumwa ice cream saa nane usiku tunaendea, nikitumwa chocolate naenda,” earning laughter and applause from onlookers.
However, what caught many off guard was his unconventional dating advice. In a twist, Butita advised against getting into relationships too soon: “Do not date. Just love people here and there, but do not date. Just do not get into a relationship that will burden you while you are still trying to find yourself.”
The mixed messaging sparked debate online, especially considering his own blossoming romance. Yet Butita was quick to offer insight drawn from past experiences, saying, “Everyone can love, but loving right requires a lot of experience, in terms of what you see, how you see other love stories, and how you relate to people.”
Social media exploded with reactions, with many fans congratulating the comedian while others poked fun at the contradictions in his statements. One user joked, “Kama Butita ametoka soko, naona mimi ndio next sasa,” while another said, “Mapenzi hukua tamu ikiwa mpya.” Others hailed his girlfriend Celle, with one comment reading, “Kijana ako na taste kushinda ata royco cubes.”
Celle Terer, known for her work in fashion and modeling, has since become the center of attention herself, with fans keen to know more about the woman who captured Butita’s heart.
Beyond the romance, Butita also made headlines recently when he welcomed his mother for a special tour of his SPM Buzz Studios. In a wholesome moment captured on video, he proudly walked her through the spacious offices, introduced her to his team, and showcased the view that overlooked Nairobi’s skyline. The gesture won him admiration from fans, who praised his humility and success.
Eddie Butita continues to be a trailblazer in Kenya’s creative industry, and now, with a public love story unfolding and fans hanging onto his every word, he’s proving once again that comedy, love, and a touch of mystery can be the perfect formula for viral stardom.
