Jomo Gecaga, nephew of former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta, married his long-time partner Lola Hannigan in an intimate wedding over the weekend. The ceremony took place privately, with only close family and friends invited. Videos and photos started circulating online on December 26 and 27, 2025, giving a glimpse of the elegant event.
Uhuru Kenyatta attended along with his wife, Margaret, and his mother, Mama Ngina Kenyatta. Mama Ngina wore a yellow gown and a large beige hat. Uhuru looked relaxed, chatting and joking with his nephew.
Other guests included Keroche heiress Anerlisa Muigai, who shared clips on her Instagram stories. She called Lola a “beautiful bride” with an “amazing heart”.
Lola Hannigan, a former TV presenter on KTN and Ebru TV, looked happy in the photos. She and Jomo have been together for years. They share three children, with their latest born just weeks ago. Jomo, who served as Uhuru’s personal assistant during his presidency, now has six children in total from different relationships.
The wedding comes after the couple welcomed their third child together recently. They kept things low-key, matching Jomo’s usual private style. He rarely posts about his family on social media.
Friends and family members from the Kenyatta side showed up in good numbers. Some relatives from the UK branch joined too. The event mixed Kenyan traditions with a simple, classy feel.
Anerlisa Muigai posted videos of the couple posing right after saying their vows. Uhuru stood nearby, smiling. One clip showed him in good spirits, a nice sight for many who follow Kenyan politics.
Lola, who has German and Kenyan roots, started in media as a host and model. She stepped back to focus on family and business over the years. Jomo stays out of the spotlight, even with his famous family ties.
The news spread quickly online. People congratulated the couple and noted how the Kenyatta family came together. Some commented on the timing, so soon after the new baby.
This marks a new chapter for Jomo and Lola. They have built a family over time and now made it official. Guests described it as warm and joyful.
Not much detail came out about the venue or exact date, keeping true to the private nature. But the shared moments showed love and support all around.
For many in Nairobi and beyond, it was a feel-good story over the holidays. The couple now looks ahead as husband and wife.
