The online discourse quickly jumped back to earlier rumors from the previous year suggesting a romantic link between the two, with some referring to Nyamutoro as “Mrs. Eddy Kenzo” or his “future wife.” Days later, both Kenzo and Nyamutoro were photographed together with Kenzo’s daughter at her school, further fueling speculation. Additionally, a photo emerged on social media showing them wearing similar jackets on separate occasions.
During an interview with a reporter from Sanyuka TV, Kenzo was pressed about his apparent happiness when discussing Nyamutoro. However, he insisted that she was simply a close friend, dismissing the speculation. When confronted with evidence such as their joint appearances and matching attire, Kenzo deflected the questions by drawing parallels to everyday items, such as the reporter’s earphones.
The initial rumors about their relationship had originated online the previous year, spurred by claims made by Rodrigo Matyansi. Matyansi alleged that the two were involved in a secret romance and that Nyamutoro had even gifted Kenzo a new car. Nyamutoro initially responded ambiguously to these claims, neither confirming nor denying them. However, she later clarified that while she has known Kenzo for many years, their relationship was purely platonic and predated her political career.
