Kenyan content creator Carol Sonnie has sparked widespread online discussion after a lavish birthday surprise from her boyfriend, identified by many as Pastor Eric Binges. Social media users pointed to the man as the former personal assistant to the late Bishop Allan Kiuna, adding to rumors that have followed the pair for years.
The talk started when Sonnie shared videos and photos from her birthday celebration at Tamarind Hotel in Nairobi. Her boyfriend organized a surprise lunch with flowers, gifts, and emotional moments that left her in tears. She posted clips showing the setup and thanked him without naming him at first. But netizens quickly connected dots, saying it’s Pastor Eric Binges, a motivational speaker and car dealer.
Sources close to the matter describe Binges as a divorcee who once worked closely with Bishop Allan Kiuna before the bishop passed away in 2024. Back in 2022 and again in late 2024, rumors linked Sonnie to Binges. At the time, her ex-partner, comedian Mulamwah, accused her of moving on quickly. Sonnie denied any romance then, calling Binges her pastor and friend who supported her through tough times, along with his family.
Now, the birthday posts have revived the conversation. Many see it as confirmation they’ve been dating quietly. Sonnie hasn’t spoken directly on the identification, but her happy shares suggest she’s comfortable letting fans know about the relationship. The surprise included thoughtful gifts, and she looked emotional in the videos.
Carol Sonnie rose to fame through TikTok and YouTube. She shares about motherhood, body positivity, and daily life. Her past with Mulamwah drew big attention—they have a daughter named Keilah Oyando, born in 2021. The couple’s breakup played out publicly, with back-and-forth on child support and personal matters. Sonnie has focused on co-parenting and her career since.
Binges keeps a lower profile but appears in motivational circles. His past role with Kiuna put him around high-profile church events. As a divorcee, according to recent reports, he’s free to date openly now. The pair might have grown closer through shared networks in Nairobi.
Online reactions came in waves. Some fans congratulated Sonnie, saying she deserves happiness after past drama. “Finally moving on properly,” one comment read. Others joked about the pastor twist or recalled old denials. A few expressed surprise at the connection to Kiuna’s circle. Gossip pages ran the story fast, with screenshots and side-by-side photos.
In Kenya’s influencer world, relationships often become public news. Sonnie has handled scrutiny before, from body shaming to breakup details. This time, the positive birthday vibe shifted focus to joy rather than conflict. Mulamwah hasn’t commented recently, though he and Sonnie reunited briefly for their daughter’s sake last year.
Sonnie keeps posting regular content, mixing family moments with fun reels. Binges stays out of the spotlight mostly. For fans, it’s another chapter in her story—from single mum rebuilding to finding love again.
These kinds of rumors spread quick on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Mombasa or Nairobi events might bring more sightings. For now, the birthday surprise keeps people talking.
