Phiona Nyamutoro has heaped praise on her sweetheart, award-winning musician Eddy Kenzo, describing him as her greatest pillar of strength as she navigates the demanding worlds of politics, family, and public life.

Speaking in a recent TV interview, Nyamutoro revealed that Kenzo’s unwavering belief in her and will to ‘protect the gains’, a driving force behind her success, resilience and happiness.
“I didn’t convince him to campaign for me. He has always been very supportive of my career from day one,” she said. “He constantly praises me because he thinks I can be anything. He once told me I could be a superwoman if I wanted to.”
The minister, who was recently elected NRM flag bearer for the Nebbi District Woman MP seat in the 2026 general elections, described Kenzo as one of her biggest blessings. She said his encouragement keeps her grounded and motivated even when the pressures of public service become overwhelming.
“It is a blessing to have someone who truly believes in you and proudly stands by you to help you achieve your dreams,” she added.

Nyamutoro also credited her family, workplace team, and a dedicated constituency group for playing vital roles in helping her manage her busy schedule.
“Striking a balance between work and family is very challenging. It takes a lot of effort and intentional planning. But I’m lucky I have an incredible support system around me. My man, my family, my office team, and the team on the ground all make it possible. I couldn’t do it alone,” she said.
The couple has a kid together and recent rumour has it that Nyamutoro is already baking something in the oven.
