Jonas Mbaleka, the fiancé of internet personality Baby Gloria, has playfully responded to online comments about photographers often dating their clients.
Mbaleka, a professional photographer, has taken many pictures of Gloria, and many believe their relationship started through his work.
When Gloria shared their engagement photos, social media users dug up an old video of Mbaleka taking her pictures, reinforcing the narrative.
In response, Mbaleka has posted a video of his own, revealing that Gloria has also been his photographer. "Well, she's been my camera woman too," he captioned the TikTok clip.

Mbaleka also runs an advertising company called Beyond Creativity, where he has worked on several projects with Gloria, who is a brand ambassador and influencer for various brands.
Meanwhile, Gloria’s mother, Betty Nakibuuka, revealed that her daughter, whose real name is Gloria Mulungi, was not supposed to announce the engagement so soon.
She explained that the event was meant to remain private, but the photos accidentally surfaced online.
Nakibuuka also admitted that she had no prior knowledge of her daughter's engagement. She said Gloria, her sister Jolly, and Mbaleka had booked a flight, which she assumed was for a casual trip.
“I was not part of that process. People just woke up, boarded a plane, and went for the engagement. I thought they were going for a tour; I did not know they were going for an engagement,” she disclosed.
The gospel singer added that the proposal took place recently and the plan was to release the photos later, but they ended up online unexpectedly.
