In a turn of events that has left many surprised, outspoken socio-political commentator Frank Gashumba is finally off the market. After years of publicly dismissing the idea of marriage, Gashumba is being introduced to his fiancée’s family in a traditional ceremony in Sembabule. The event, attended by close friends and religious leaders, including Pastor Aloysius Bugingo, marks a major shift in the life of a man who once claimed he would never settle down.

For a long time, Gashumba has been vocal about his reluctance to marry. In interviews, he often joked about the challenges of marriage, particularly the demands women place on their partners. Just last year, during a radio interview, he stated plainly that he had no interest in tying the knot. “I cannot get married. What will a woman give me? When you marry, you spend the whole night awake; I don’t have that energy. You have to stay alert to address those intimate matters every night, fulfilling her desires. I cannot do that,” he said at the time.

He even shared a personal story to explain his stance, recalling a past relationship with a woman whose high sex drive left him exhausted. “Every time we went to bed, she wanted more. At 3 a.m., at 5 a.m.—I would go to work feeling drained, and at one point, I thought I was going to collapse,” he admitted. This experience, among others, seemed to cement his belief that marriage was not for him.

Yet, in a surprising twist, Gashumba has now taken a step he once swore he would never take. Photos from the introduction ceremony show him looking happy and relaxed, a far cry from the man who once dismissed marriage as too demanding. The identity of his bride-to-be remains unknown, but the event itself has sparked widespread discussion online, with many fans expressing shock at his sudden change of heart.

Gashumba is no stranger to public attention. As the father of socialite Sheila Gashumba, his personal life has often been a topic of interest. His previous relationship with Sheila’s mother ended years ago, and since then, he has remained single—or so it seemed. Now, with this new development, questions are being raised about what—or who—convinced him to change his mind.

The ceremony itself is a private affair, but details are being shared through Sanyuka Television’s AfroMobile platform for those who want to follow along. For many, this wedding is more than just a personal milestone for Gashumba; it is a reminder that people can—and do—change their minds, even on matters they once felt strongly about.

As the event unfolds, one thing is clear: Frank Gashumba, the man who once said he would never marry, is now stepping into a new chapter of his life. Whether this change will affect his outspoken public persona remains to be seen, but for now, his fans and critics alike are watching with keen interest. Love, it seems, has a way of rewriting even the firmest of convictions.
