In the video, she disclosed that her pregnancy had unexpectedly interfered with their original wedding plans.
"I had not told anyone at home that I was pregnant. I had just told my close friends," Ruth K explained.
It was not supposed to be an introduction party. We did not know you cannot do ruracio (a traditional dowry payment ceremony) when you are pregnant. After asking around, we were told it could not happen.
This revelation came as a surprise to many, as it is a common tradition in some communities that a woman should not undergo the traditional dowry payment ceremony process while pregnant.

For a while now, fans have been speculating that the couple had quietly gone their separate ways. Then on April 10, the comedian finally confirmed the rumours, saying their relationship was sweet while it lasted.
While some fans are genuinely heartbroken—having been emotionally invested in the couple—a section of the internet isn’t buying it. They believe it’s just another publicity stunt, a tactic many celebs use when they’re about to drop a new project.
