Muyango Claudine, crowned Miss Photogenic in Miss Rwanda 2019, shared a heartfelt birthday message for her husband, accomplished Rwandan footballer Kimenyi Yves, as he celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday, October 13, 2025.
Posting on Instagram Stories, where messages disappear after 24 hours, Muyango expressed deep love and admiration for Yves. She assured him of his unique and unchanging place in her heart, showing the strength of their bond.
She wrote: "Happy birthday to the person who still holds a special place in my heart. No matter how life unfolds, you will always be exceptional to me as an amazing father and loving partner. I wish you nothing but love, light, and all the blessings life can offer. Enjoy your day, dear."
This loving post comes amidst circulating rumors of challenges in their relationship. The couple’s romantic journey began in 2019 when Kimenyi revealed their relationship, replacing his previous partner Didy d’Or. For a long time, media speculated about their love affair, but the pair initially refrained from confirming it.
Kimenyi shared that their relationship was sparked by his cousin, who introduced him to Miss Muyango, setting the stage for a flourishing romance that would prove doubters wrong.
Over time, their love blossomed further, with the couple sharing uplifting and affectionate messages on social media. These public declarations displayed their unwavering commitment to one another.
On March 19, 2020, during Muyango’s birthday, Kimenyi stayed up until midnight to post a love-filled message on Instagram, ensuring he celebrated her special day in a significant way.
Their relationship reached new heights on February 28, 2021, when Kimenyi proposed to Muyango with an engagement ring. She joyfully accepted his proposal, marking a pivotal milestone.
Rumors of pregnancy surfaced in July 2021, and by August 21, 2021, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Kimenyi Miguel Yannis, adding a beautiful chapter to their story.
After five years of unwavering love and devotion, Muyango and Kimenyi officially sealed their union with a civil wedding held at Nyarugenge Sector on January 4, 2024.
Kimenyi Yves, renowned for playing with top Rwandan football teams like APR FC, Rayon Sports, Kiyovu Sports, AS Kigali, and the national team Amavubi, celebrated his marriage to Muyango Claudine on January 6, 2024.
