After Two Decades Of Solitude, Stella Nyanzi Warms Up For Bonkful Nights Again

By Our Reporter

For nearly twenty years, Dr. Stella Nyanzi’s heart beat only for her three children — a 20-year-old son and 18-year-old twins — whom she raised single-handedly, stitching their lives together with resilience, sacrifice, and an unyielding will.

Now, the Ugandan activist and academic, currently living as an asylum seeker in Germany, has opened a new chapter — one written not in the language of struggle, but in the tender dialect of love.

Nyanzi took to social media to share her joy, posting photographs alongside her new partner, a middle-aged white man whose presence in the frames seemed to mirror the light in her words.

“I was created to love & be loved. For me, it is best to be loved openly,” she wrote, her message carrying the tone of a heart long ready to bloom again. “As I start the evening of my life, I refuse to have another love relationship that wants to be kept a secret. When I love, I love hard. I deserve to be loved as hard & as openly as I do. Let love bloom!”

Her journey to this point has been anything but easy. Nearly two decades ago, pregnant with twins, she returned to Uganda while their father, Ousman, remained in the UK. With her children often in the care of her parents, she travelled far and wide to provide for them, defining strength not by muscle but by willpower, character, and endurance.

“All my adult life, I’ve had to be strong and provide for people in my care,” she reflected. “Love gives me strength.”

The announcement was met with an outpouring of warmth from her supporters. “You deserve it, Nalongo,” one admirer wrote. Another added simply, “As long as you’re happy… life is short, enjoy it to the fullest.”

And so, after years of standing alone in life’s storms, Stella Nyanzi steps into the evening light with a hand in hers, ready to love and be loved — not in secret, but in the full glow of the open sky.
