Veteran gospel singer Betty Nakibuuka who is mother to Gloria Mulungi Senyonjo alias Baby Gloria has warned critics of her daughter’s blossoming love with one Jonas Rayme. 

Baby Gloria stirred the interwebs recently when she shared passionate photos of her engagement to Jonas taking social media users by surprise. The photos attracted both carrot and stick in equal measure. 

However, as days went by, online critics seemed unimpressed by Baby Gloria’s seemingly “humble” choice of partner given that she has been in the limelight as a child star since her kindergarten days. In short, they seemed disappointed by Jonas' rather humble background.

Her decision, she says, comes after witnessing the marginalisation of elderly people, particularly in her home district of Kanungu, Western Uganda, which inspired her to stand for election.

In the face of stern criticism, Nakibuuka has come in defence of her famous daughter with a firm warning to critics and a mother’s heartfelt appeal to the media to let the couple enjoy their ‘young love’. 

“Please let the kids be,” she said before adding. 

“Let them enjoy their young love in peace. They are not going to separate because of your opinions. I am fed up with this gossip.”

Nakibuuka added that due to the strong public interest in the relationship, she is contemplating hiring full-time security for the couple’s safety while in public. 

At the time of the interview, she noted that Gloria and Jonas were on a date but guarded by security to prevent infringement on their private space.
