Kenyan musician Bien Amie has been in a long-term relationship with Chiki Kuruka, and the couple recently took a significant step forward with a proposal in an intimate cinema date early this year.
According to Bien, his parents have been supportive of his music career and his relationship with Chiki, who he plans to marry later this year.
Despite the pressure from his parents, Bien has been able to pursue his passion for music, which has partially paid his school fees and motivated his parents to support him.
Three weeks ago, Bien posted a photo of himself with his dad, joking that his father has finally reconciled with the fact that he'll never get a real job.
Celebrities like Nameless and Dr Ofweneke responded to the post with laughter and questions, but Bien remains focused on his plans for the future.
As for his wedding plans, Bien says it's all in Chiki's hands, and he's waiting to see what 2019 holds for the couple.
