Esther Nyawiro’s Offline Life Won My Heart- Ykee Benda
In an era where social media presence is everything, Ugandan singer Ykee Benda decided taking a different route in love — one rooted in privacy, peace, and genuine connection.
The ‘Farmer’ hitmaker recently proposed to his longtime partner, Esther Nyawiro, and revealed that one of the things that instantly got him in love was the fact that she’s not on social media at all.
Despite Esther’s elite background — a law degree from Makerere and education from top local schools — her complete absence from digital platforms was not only refreshing but a clear sign to Ykee that she wasn’t driven by public attention or validation.
“In a world where everyone wants to be seen, she’s okay being in the background,” he shared, hinting at the kind of grounded, low-drama love he’s come to value.
Their relationship, which quietly progressed over four years following Ykee’s painful breakup with ex-partner Julie Batenga, has brought him peace after a rough emotional patch marked by custody battles and depression over their son, Dante.
The Mpaka Records CEO said that even now his fiancee isn’t active on social media. It’s him who tries to get her to be active but she doesn’t fancy that lifestyle.
