Sauti Sol's Bien Aime Baraza has become a beacon of enduring love. As the couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, Bien made headlines with a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Chiki Kuruka, that melted the hearts of fans and friends alike. This romantic gesture not only showcased their deep bond but also highlighted the joy of love built on genuine connection and mutual respect.
Bien, best known for his recent hit "Ma Cherie," took to social media, where he poured out his emotions in a touching tribute. Fish-eyed photos and snaps of happy moments crisscrossed his post, showing the various adventures, they’ve embarked on together. From spontaneous trips through picturesque landscapes to little goofy moments that showcase their playful nature, Bien left no stone unturned in appreciating Chiki’s unwavering commitment.
He wrote affectionately, “Happy 5th year anniversary. You are everything I prayed for and more. Thank you for walking this journey with me. You are a light in my life. To many more years of farting and dark jokes. Love you, babe.” His mixture of sweetness and humor perfectly encapsulated their whimsical relationship.
Chiki, equally moved by the milestone, reciprocated with her own heartfelt message on social media. In her post, she shared a beautiful slideshow showcasing their favorite memories, including attending the Grammys, riding camels in the desert, and even playful references to Bien’s quirky sleeping habits. Her whimsical reflection summed up their relationship wonderfully: “Happy anniversary to me and you. The thing about us is we like to laugh, we like to have a good time. I love to experience, and you love to sleep! So I speed you up, and you calm me down. We have seen the world together and laughed at/with each other throughout.”
Fans and friends couldn’t help but swoon over the couple's displays of affection, flooding their social media posts with well wishes and congratulatory messages. The warmth and authenticity of their relationship stand out amid the pressures and challenges that come with being public figures. Their ability to maintain a joyful and loving partnership serves as an inspiration to many.
Bien and Chiki’s love story traces back to 2020, a year marked by significant change and growth. The pair exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony held at a secret location in Lavington, Nairobi, attended by friends and family, including fellow Sauti Sol members and other notable celebrities. Their decision to keep the wedding under wraps speaks to the couple's desire for privacy in an industry often marred by public scrutiny.
Reflecting on their relationship, Chiki has previously shared insights into their decision to date publicly after a year of secretive romance. Their aim was simple, to showcase the authenticity of their love and to dispel any rumors that could distract from their bond. “We dated for a whole year before we decided to go public about our love affair... We did not want to go into stories of cheating,” Chiki revealed.
The graceful couple's journey began serendipitously when they met through a mutual friend shortly after Chiki moved to Kenya. Despite being thrown into the limelight with Bien's fame, she managed to love him for who he is rather than his celebrity status. “I loved him for who he is, not because he is a celebrity, and I trust him,” she stated honestly. This grounding belief has helped them become an emblem of fidelity and sincerity, proving that love can thrive amid all things.
