Mathenge took to Instagram to share the exciting news with his followers that he proposed to his girlfriend, who was also his best friend.

“And so, this weekend, my best friend became my fiancée. There’s no one else I’d rather do life with because my dreams continue to come to life with each step that I take with you,” he captioned.

He took a photo of the ring tucked inside a little box and overlooking the exquisite sunset rays glistening over the national park brimming with natural beauty and enchantment.

Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, he chose the perfect backdrop for this significant milestone in their relationship.

Friends, family, and colleagues showered the couple with love and support, celebrating their love and the journey they were about to embark on together, ranging from Citizen TV's Willis Raburu to KTN's Ali Manzu, NTV's Olive Burrows and Smriti Vidyarthi, Hot 96's Cynthia Mwangi among others.

Mathenge has notably been sharing clues with his followers on social media regarding his love life, expressing his deep love and admiration for his bae.

In a heartfelt post shared in September 2022, Mathenge expressed his disbelief at the overwhelming happiness and contentment he had found with his fiancée.

"If early this year anyone told me that I would be this happy and content, I would have told them off very fast. But now, there is this amazingly beautiful woman, who is also my personal photographer, making this life worth it," he shared.

Oliver's words echoed the profound impact his fiancée, whose name he chose not to disclose, had on his life. Together, they celebrated life's blessings, recognizing the grace they had received from God.

"Today, we celebrate life because God has been amazingly gracious to us in all ways," Oliver expressed, embracing the love and divine intervention that had brought them together.

As the year unfolded, Oliver's appreciation for his partner grew even stronger. In a subsequent post in December 2022, he reflected on the lessons he had learned throughout the year.

"If 2022 has taught me anything, it is that I should never let go of the hand that holds me. For a year that started at almost zero, thus far, I can only say that God sent me a saving grace in the form of a beautiful angel who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with," he praised.

Mathenge acknowledged that his fiancée played an integral role in his personal and professional growth, attributing much of his success to her unwavering support.

The renowned journalist was on Wednesday, April 5 promoted to the Managing Editor in charge of Audiences and Engagement at the NMG TV station from his multimedia editor post.
