A young woman from Eldoret has captured the hearts of thousands of Kenyans after an emotional surprise from her boyfriend left her dancing with excitement in a heartwarming moment that quickly went viral on social media.
The romantic gesture, shared on TikTok, showed the woman receiving a brand-new iPhone 17 Pro Max, a bouquet of fresh red roses, and a money bouquet during a carefully planned surprise in a garden setting. The expensive smartphone is estimated to retail at around KSh 180,000, making the gift one of the most talked-about romantic surprises online.
The surprise was organised by Prince Koross on behalf of the woman’s boyfriend. Dressed in a navy three-piece suit, white shoes, and sunglasses, he arrived carrying a white iPhone-branded gift bag along with a bouquet of red and white roses before presenting the gifts to the unsuspecting recipient.
The woman, identified as Chepkemboi, was dressed casually in a black top and blue jeans. She appeared completely unaware of what awaited her until the iconic orange iPhone box was revealed.
Overcome with excitement, Chepkemboi jumped repeatedly with joy before breaking into a celebratory dance near a clothesline as those present watched the memorable moment unfold. The garden was decorated with confetti, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Throughout the video, she could be heard expressing her appreciation, repeatedly thanking her boyfriend and telling him how much she loved him. Her emotional reaction reflected genuine surprise as she admired the luxury phone and the accompanying gifts.

The video also sparked conversations about grand romantic gestures, with some viewers describing the gift as inspirational while others joked that they were forwarding the clip to their partners as a subtle hint.
The viral surprise adds to a growing number of relationship stories that have recently dominated Kenyan social media, where elaborate proposals, luxury gifts, and emotional celebrations continue to capture public attention.
In a separate relationship story that also attracted widespread interest, a Kenyan man identified as Victor Kibiwott proposed to his long-distance girlfriend, Faith Chepkemoi, during an emotional video call after five years together.
