On June 26, 2020, a photo of Rihanna's bodyguard sent shockwaves on social media, with many Kenyans arguing that he bears a striking resemblance to Jowie Irungu, the ex-fiancé of Jacque Maribe.

The photo, which has been widely shared, shows the bodyguard holding an umbrella for Rihanna as she steps out looking stylish.

While some people were drawn to the photo due to the bodyguard's reaction to Rihanna's intimate gesture, many others were quick to point out the uncanny resemblance between the bodyguard and Jowie.

From the beard to the eyes and the stocky build, many Kenyans couldn't help but think of Jowie when they saw the photo.

Here are some of the reactions:

  • @Kiara_Smith19: Legend has it he never washed that hand again.
  • @wonderland449: You know his grandkids are gonna hear this story every family get together
  • @paulieshinobi: He will never be able to love another woman's touch again.
  • @_Sacrilegious: I just know she smell like sugar, spice, & everything nice. But that touch would've turned me to melted butter on the inside.
  • @teeberculosis: That man is clearly trying to keep his kids inside is body.

Do you think the bodyguard resembles Jowie?
