Raila Junior married Yvonne Wambui back in 2011 at a colorful wedding ceremony that was graced by top names from various sectors of the Kenyan economy. She is the daughter of retired music boss, Gido Kibukosya.

In 2019, Junior <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/raila-junior-we-struggled-to-have-a-baby-for-5-years/7clyrk8">narrated how the early years of their marriage were</a> frustrating as they made attempts to have a child and nothing was forthcoming.

After five years of trying, lady luck struck and they got a first born son.

“I hope she (Yvonne) will allow me to disclose this. We had been married for a long time and we weren’t able to get a child in the very first years. We struggled for a very long time for about four, five years and eventually God blessed us with our firstborn a son,”

“Yvonne and I were so okay not being able to conceive for those years, but the frustrations became unbearable because of the pressure from outside. I also tried so hard not to subject Yvonne to more pressure because of the situation,” said Raila Junior.
