Reports at our desk confirm that the “Big Talent” boss, Eddy Kenzo (Edrisah Musuuza), and the Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development, Hon. Phionah Nyamutoro, have welcomed a newborn baby girl.
According to emerging reports and viral posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Minister gave birth in the early hours of Tuesday, May 5, 2026. The news has sparked a wave of congratulatory messages from fans, fellow artists, and political colleagues, marking a new chapter for one of Uganda’s most prominent power couples.
When did Eddy Kenzo and Nyamutoro receive a baby girl?
Hon. Phionah Nyamutoro reportedly gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the early hours of May 5, 2026. While the couple has often kept the finer details of their private life under wraps, the news quickly went viral after sources close to the family shared the joyful update on social media. This is the second child for the couple, following their son who was publicly acknowledged by Kenzo in early 2024.
When did Eddy Kenzo and Nyamutoro start dating?
The romantic journey of Kenzo and Nyamutoro remained a well-guarded secret for several years before coming to light. While rumors began circulating as early as 2023, it wasn’t until April 2024 that Eddy Kenzo officially confirmed the relationship. During a performance at Comedy Store Uganda, Kenzo shocked and delighted fans by revealing, “I have a son with Hon. Phionah Nyamutoro.”
This public admission was followed by a traditional introduction ceremony (Kwanjula) in June 2024, held in Buziga, Kampala, where Nyamutoro officially introduced Kenzo to her parents. Since then, the two have been inseparable, with Kenzo even actively campaigning for Nyamutoro in her 2026 political bid for the Nebbi District Woman MP seat.
What happened between Eddy Kenzo and Rema Namakula?
To understand the weight of Kenzo’s current happiness, one must look back at his highly publicized and emotional breakup with fellow singer Rema Namakula. For over five years, Kenzo and Rema were the “it” couple of Ugandan music, and they share a daughter, Amaal Musuuza.
However, the relationship took a dramatic turn in late 2019 when Rema officially dumped Kenzo and introduced Dr. Hamza Ssebunya to her family.
The breakup was a period of public “cries” for Kenzo; he famously took to Facebook Live and various media interviews, expressing deep emotional pain and heartbreak. His vulnerability at the time—including his emotional performances of songs like Semyekozo—endeared him to many fans who watched him navigate the transition from a broken home to finding love again.
How many children does Eddy Kenzo have?
With the birth of his new daughter today, Eddy Kenzo is now a father of four known children:
- Maya Musuuza: His eldest daughter from a previous relationship.
- Amaal Musuuza: His daughter with Rema Namakula.
- A son (Musuuza Junior): His first child with Phionah Nyamutoro, born around 2023/early 2024.
- A baby girl: The newest addition born today, May 5, 2026.
Who is Phionah Nyamutoro, Eddy Kenzo’s partner?
Hon. Phionah Nyamutoro is a high-achieving politician who serves as the Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development (Minerals) and was previously the National Female Youth Member of Parliament. Her relationship with Kenzo has been described as a “perfect match” of the arts and politics. Kenzo has often praised her leadership, stating that “her leadership starts from home,” and has been a pillar of support throughout her 2026 political campaigns.
The arrival of their baby girl today is seen by many as a symbol of the “unbounded joy and unprecedented love” the couple frequently posts about. As the story continues to trend, fans await the official naming ceremony and perhaps the first glimpse of the newest member of the Musuuza family.
