Beyond his vibrant television persona and energetic presence in the media industry, Willis Raburu’s love life has often attracted public attention, with several high-profile relationships making headlines over the years. From broken engagements to marriage, divorce and co-parenting, Raburu’s romantic journey has been marked by both joyful moments and heartbreaking chapters.
Raburu recently found himself back in the spotlight after content creator Ivy Namu announced that they had ended their relationship after years together. The announcement reignited public interest in the former TV anchor’s relationship history and the women who have played significant roles in his personal life.
One of Raburu’s earliest known public relationships was with former colleague Sally Mbilu. The two reportedly met while working together at Citizen TV during their early days as reporters. Although they largely kept their romance private, details later emerged that the pair had even gotten engaged. Raburu previously revealed that he had purchased an engagement ring worth KSh 100,000 before the relationship eventually ended. Neither party publicly disclosed the reasons behind their split.
Raburu later found love with fitness enthusiast and influencer Marya Prude. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2017 and quickly became one of Kenya’s admired celebrity couples, often sharing glimpses of their seemingly happy marriage on social media.
However, tragedy struck in 2019 when the couple lost their daughter, Adana, shortly after birth. Both Raburu and Marya have spoken openly about the devastating impact the loss had on them and their marriage. Their union eventually crumbled, with Raburu later admitting that he initiated the divorce process after realizing the relationship was no longer working. The divorce was finalized after a lengthy and emotional process.
Following his separation from Marya, Raburu moved on with content creator and entrepreneur Ivy Namu. The two reportedly met in 2019 before beginning their relationship in 2020. They later welcomed two children together and frequently documented their family life online, earning admiration from fans. Raburu proposed to Ivy in 2022, with many expecting wedding bells to follow.
But in June 2026, Ivy confirmed that she and Raburu had decided to part ways, bringing an end to their five-year relationship. While neither party disclosed the reasons for the breakup, they asked the public to respect their privacy as they navigate the separation.
