Singer Ykee Benda proposes to his girlfriend

Musician Ykee Benda, born Wycliff Tugume, has taken a significant stride toward formalizing his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Emilly.

After publicly confirming their relationship in 2023 by sharing affectionate moments on social media, Ykee has now sealed his commitment with a romantic proposal. The engagement, which took place at an intimate hangout spot surrounded by a few close friends and family, was beautifully set against a serene water backdrop, adding a touch of natural elegance to the occasion.

In a heartwarming moment captured in circulating social media videos, Ykee went down on one knee and asked Emilly to marry him. Her reaction—surprised and visibly overjoyed—was met with loud cheers and applause from the small crowd present.

This engagement comes after the singer’s previous relationship with his baby mama, Julie Batenga, with whom he shares a son, Dante. Since then, Ykee and Emilly have been steadily growing their relationship, and this proposal marks a new chapter for the couple.

Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, praising Ykee for taking this bold and heartfelt step. Reports suggest that the couple is now preparing for their traditional introduction ceremony, set for September 13, 2025.
