Kenyan businessman Kennedy Rapudo has set the record straight regarding his relationship with Amber Ray, dismissing rumours that the couple splits household bills or that financial issues caused a breakup. Rapudo made it clear that he takes full financial responsibility for his family, emphasizing his role as the provider.
Addressing the Rumours
Speculation had been swirling online after reports suggested the couple had separated due to Rapudo’s inability to sustain Amber’s luxurious lifestyle. The rumours intensified when Amber was spotted selling furniture, which fans assumed belonged to Rapudo. However, the two later appeared together with their daughter, Africanah, effectively putting the gossip to rest.
“Amber Doesn’t Even Buy Salt in That House”
In a resurfaced interview, Rapudo clarified that he solely covers the family’s expenses, revealing that he spends about KSh 200,000 every month on shopping alone. He said it is his duty as a man to provide for his household and that Amber does not contribute financially to their daily needs.
“I never responded to the rumours because I can’t respond to rubbish. We have four children, including Africanah, and all of them go to British system schools. You know how much that costs per term — almost KSh 1 million per child. What will KSh 100,000 do to me? Nothing. Amber does not even buy salt in that house. Not that she can’t afford it, but it’s my responsibility as a man,” he said.
Defending Amber Ray
Rapudo also defended Amber from critics who often claim she only dates wealthy men. He said he has no issue meeting her standards and respects her honesty about her preferences. “She has professed over and over again that she is allergic to broke men. Why would I be the first broke man she is tolerating?” he quipped.
On Relationship Challenges and Love
Addressing rumours of a possible breakup, Rapudo acknowledged that while they have had challenges, it is natural for any relationship to experience highs and lows. “People wished us bad things, but breaking up isn’t the end of the world. I love Amber — she’s the love of my life — but life goes on either way,” he shared candidly.
Public Reaction and Couple’s Continued Success
Rapudo’s comments have sparked widespread discussion online, with many praising his confidence and transparency about finances. The couple, who welcomed their daughter in 2023, continue to display affection and unity on social media, often sharing heartwarming family moments.
Meanwhile, Amber Ray continues to thrive as one of Kenya’s most influential digital personalities. She recently celebrated acquiring a sleek Range Rover, marking yet another milestone in her career as fans congratulated her online.
A Power Couple in the Spotlight
The couple’s openness about their relationship and lifestyle continues to fascinate fans, cementing their status as one of Kenya’s most talked-about celebrity pairs. Whether through love, luxury, or controversy, Kennedy Rapudo and Amber Ray remain firmly in the public eye — and unapologetically themselves.
