A Life Defined by Strength and Resilience
Nyanzi's journey to this new relationship has been one of immense personal strength and sacrifice.
She spent the better part of two decades raising her three children—a 20-year-old and 18-year-old twins—as a single mother.
Their father, Ousman, abandoned them and remained in the UK while she returned to Uganda, pregnant with the twins, 18 years ago.

Many of her fans rushed to shower her with congratulatory messages on her new life chapter, with one Ssenfuma writing, “You deserve it, Nalongo”
Another wrote, “As long as you're Happy. Good Luck, dear. Life is short, enjoy it to the fullest.”
