Popular YouTuber and entrepreneur Robert Ndegwa Kamau, widely known as Thee Pluto, has stepped into a new phase of his personal life after holding a traditional wedding ceremony, months after his highly publicised breakup with baby mama Felicity Shiru. The ceremony, rooted deeply in culture and faith, marked a significant moment for the content creator whose relationships have often played out in the public eye.
On Tuesday, January 6, 2025, Thee Pluto shared a video from the ceremony on his official Instagram account, pairing the visuals with a reflective caption that framed the event as more than a cultural obligation. He described the ceremony as a sacred process that respected time, elders, family, and spiritual grounding.
“Love was not rushed; it was honored. Before two hearts could become one, families gathered, elders spoke wisdom, and tradition took its rightful place. Rũracio is more than a ceremony; it is a sacred agreement, witnessed by heaven and sealed by culture,” he said.
The ceremony brought together extended family members and elders, who played a central role in guiding the process. According to Thee Pluto, their involvement reinforced lessons of patience, respect, and intentionality in marriage. He emphasised that the union represented more than two individuals coming together, pointing to a deeper connection that spans family lines and shared values.
“In humility, we came before our people. In love, we gave and received. In faith, we stepped into a covenant greater than us; one rooted in respect, patience and purpose,” he added.
Thee Pluto further explained that the occasion symbolised the blending of tradition with modern love, where faith and culture provided a stable foundation for romance. He described the moment as one that honoured both the past and the future, acknowledging the role of ancestry while stepping forward into a new commitment.
“This was not just the union of two souls, but the merging of histories, prayers, and generations. May the same God who watched over our ancestors bless this journey, guide our steps, and keep love at the centre of it all. I honoured my ancestors, and they honoured me back,” Thee Pluto stated.
“Tradition met romance, culture met faith, and love found its rightful foundation.”
How has Thee Pluto reflected on love after his breakup?
The traditional wedding comes shortly after Thee Pluto openly discussed the emotional toll and personal growth that followed his breakup with Felicity. During an interview with Dr Ofweneke on Wednesday night, July 23, 2025, he acknowledged that their relationship and eventual separation unfolded under intense public scrutiny, which amplified the challenges surrounding the breakup.
“My marriage was public, and I agree the breakup was messy for me. I take responsibility for my part that unfolded in ways that I could not imagine. After that, I took time to heal and learn, and I have taken time to also evolve and become a better man,” Thee Pluto said.
He explained that the experience reshaped how he approaches both relationships and fame. According to him, the breakup highlighted the importance of drawing clear boundaries between private life and public perception.
“The breakup taught me more than success has. A lot of things you have to keep private. I have learnt to separate myself from whatever I have or the values I hold, from whatever is in the public and how the public looks at me,” he added.
Despite the pain that came with the separation, Thee Pluto made it clear that his belief in love and marriage remains strong. He framed the experience as one of growth rather than failure, noting that difficult seasons often bring valuable lessons.
“My breakup has not changed the perception I have of marriage and relationships. Sometimes love does not fail it teaches us,” he said.
What led to the end of his relationship with Felicity?
Thee Pluto and Felicity were in a high-profile relationship for nearly three years before announcing their separation in September 2024. At the time, he shared a public statement asking for understanding and restraint from fans and the public as they navigated the transition.
“We have decided to go our separate ways and end our three-year relationship. Thank you for the continued support from family, friends, and fans. Let’s not speculate anything or spread lies about the situation. We will co-parent peacefully to ensure the life of our lovely daughter is not affected. Give us some space during this hard time,” he wrote.
As reactions continue to circulate online, Thee Pluto’s traditional wedding has reignited conversations around healing, growth, and intentional love.
