Hold onto your wigs, fam, because Ugandan heartthrob Ykee Benda just dropped a bombshell bigger than a surprise album—he’s ENGAGED!

Yep, you read that right. The “Superman” singer has officially taken a massive leap closer to locking down love with his longtime sweetheart, Emilly Nyawira. And honey, the way he did it? Pure cinema.

After years of laying low and healing from his split with baby mama Julie Batenga (mom to their adorable son, Dante), Ykee didn’t just bounce back—he came back with a diamond ring and vows that had fans in their feels.

From DM Slides to Diamond Rings

Back in 2023, Ykee soft-launched Emilly on the ’Gram, serving cozy couple content that had fans guessing. Fast forward to today, and we’ve got a whole engagement, complete with a lakeside proposal straight out of a romance movie. Think soft water ripples, fairy lights, close friends, family, and one VERY nervous talented star going down on one knee.

Word on the street (aka social media) is that Emilly was completely shook—but said yes! Cue screaming fans and comment sections blowing up with “God When?!” energy.

The Love Letter That Broke the Internet

Before the big moment, Ykee pulled the ultimate soft boy move by dropping a 4-minute love confession video so personal, we needed tissues and emotional support.

“You’re my fever. You’ve put a certain fever on my life,” he said, nearly choking up. “The shop is closed. This is forever.”

And y’all—he really said what every girl wants to hear: “Beautiful babies, passports full, wild lovemaking and friendship built on Jesus.” A man with a plan, period.

He even reminded her of the time he faked being a health worker during COVID just to see her. Now that’s commitment (and maybe a little illegal—but we love the energy).

The couple is reportedly gearing up for a full-blown introduction ceremony next September. No word yet on the venue, outfits, or guest list—but if this engagement is anything to go by, it’s going to be a cultural serve of epic proportions.

No official press statement yet, but don’t worry—we’re parked in their IG comments like FBI agents waiting for the next clue.

Twitter, TikTok, and the TL React:
• “Ykee Benda just set the standard. Don’t talk to me unless you’re writing a love speech like THAT.”
• “Emilly is the luckiest woman in UG rn. That man is in LOVE love!”
• “Someone check on Julie”

From cozy Instagram drops to a literal lakeside proposal, Ykee Benda just showed us he’s not just a hitmaker—he’s a heart stealer. Stay tuned, babes, because if this is just the beginning, the wedding’s gonna BREAK the internet.
