Popular Ugandan musician Ykee Benda, born Wycliff Tugume, is officially off the market — again! The “Farmer” hitmaker has taken a significant step toward tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Emilly, after getting down on one knee and proposing in a heartwarming ceremony.
Fans who have followed Ykee’s journey know this has been a long time coming. In 2023, the singer made his relationship with Emilly public, sharing cosy moments of the couple online and confirming what many had already suspected — that love was in the air once more.
This fresh chapter in Ykee’s life follows the end of his previous relationship with Julie Batenga, the mother of his son, Dante. While the breakup made headlines, Ykee has since taken the time to heal and rebuild, eventually finding happiness again with Emilly.
Their love story quietly blossomed behind the scenes, and after years of dating, Ykee decided to seal the deal. The proposal, captured in videos now making rounds on social media, was nothing short of magical. Set against a serene water backdrop and surrounded by a small circle of family and friends, the romantic ambience made the moment even more special.
In true romantic fashion, Ykee dropped to one knee, pulled out the ring, and asked Emilly to be his wife — a moment met with gasps, cheers, and visible emotion from the bride-to-be. Emilly’s surprise and joy were unmistakable as she said “yes,” and the couple sealed it with a loving embrace.
The announcement has lit up social media, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding comment sections with congratulatory messages and heartfelt wishes for the couple’s future.
While Ykee and Emilly have yet to issue an official statement about the engagement, sources close to the couple have revealed that an introduction ceremony is planned for September 13, 2025. As anticipation builds, many are already looking forward to what promises to be one of the most talked-about celebrations in Uganda’s entertainment scene.
Stay tuned — we’ll be keeping a close eye on this beautiful love story as it continues to unfold.
