Kenyan comedian and creative genius Eddie Butita is officially off the market. After years of playful teasing from fans about his single status, Butita has finally gone public with his stunning new girlfriend, Celle Terer.
For a while, people wondered if he was still nursing the breakup from fellow comedian Mammito, which happened about three years ago. But with one bold move, he’s silenced all the speculation.
On Instagram, Butita shared a sleek photo of himself and Celle, both looking effortlessly elegant. It wasn’t a soft launch, it was a full-on hard launch—and social media hasn’t stopped buzzing since.
But the photo wasn’t the only thing that got people talking. A video later surfaced showing Butita in a candid street interview, absolutely gushing over Celle.
“Kijana handsome kama mimi hawezi kuwa soko. I am on demand. Nakuwa aje soko? I am currently a present boyfriend. Sisi ni wale tukitumwa ice cream saa nane usiku tunaendea, nikitumwa chocolate naenda,” he said proudly.
(A handsome guy like me cannot be on the market. I am in demand. How can I be on the market? I am currently a present boyfriend. We are the type who, if sent for ice cream at 2 AM, we go; if sent for chocolate, I go.)
Classic Butita—confident, funny, and a little cheeky.
But just when everyone thought he was fully embracing the love life, he threw in some unexpected advice about relationships.
“Do not date. Just love people here and there, but do not date. Just do not get into a relationship that will burden you while you are still trying to find yourself,” he warned.
Sounds ironic, right? Considering he’s clearly smitten. But it’s not as contradictory as it seems. He went on to share a deeper reflection, hinting at lessons he’s learned from his past experiences.
“Everyone can love, but loving right requires a lot of experience, in terms of what you see, how you see other love stories, and how you relate to people,” he added, showing a more thoughtful, mature side to his new love journey.
So yes, Butita may have just hard-launched his new girlfriend, but he’s also reminding his fans that love isn’t something to rush. It’s a balance of timing, lessons, and knowing yourself first.
