Rose Muhando Denies Marriage Claims

In response to the claims, Rose Muhando publicly refuted the idea that she is married. Speaking to reporters, she insisted that she has never been married and expressed unfamiliarity with the formalities of the marriage process.

Regarding the specific video in which Lumbasi made the announcement, Muhando directed questions back to the preacher.

"Ask the one who spoke," she said, referring to the footage as "just a clip."

She emphasized that for her to be considered married, a church wedding would need to occur a ceremony she insists has not taken place.

Current Relationship Status

Muhando also clarified her stance on relationships and her current personal life. She confirmed that she is single and not actively seeking a partner.

"I am not looking; I don't have that plan," she told interviewers, reaffirming that her unmarried status is clear.

When discussing the possibility of a future husband, Muhando stated that she would not initiate a search.

She explained that if a partner were to enter her life, it would be through divine providence, indicating that any future relationship would be guided by spiritual calling rather than personal pursuit.
