In a heart-melting moment straight out of a fairy tale, Ugandan music sensation Ykee Benda proposed to his longtime partner Emilly in an intimate and romantic setting at the picturesque Divine Resort, and—yes—she said yes!
Surrounded by close friends and the calming waters of Lake Victoria, Ykee went down on one knee and asked the most important question of his life. Emilly, beaming with joy, responded with a resounding yes, sealing their love with a ring and setting the internet ablaze with celebration.
Ykee Benda and Emilly’s love story has slowly unfolded before the public since 2023, with the two making joint appearances at events, hand-in-hand, glowing in each other’s company. While the artist—famed for hits like “Farmer” and “Eva”—has kept most of his private life under wraps, fans couldn’t help but notice the special bond the two shared.
Insiders close to the couple say the engagement has been in the works for months, and preparations for a kwanjula (traditional marriage introduction) are already underway. The ceremony is expected to take place later this year, marking a formal beginning to what many hope will be a beautiful lifelong union.

Known for his poetic lyrics and soulful performances, this proposal was yet another reminder that romance isn’t dead—it simply takes the right heart to make it come alive.
The engagement took place under the warm skies at Divine Resort, a serene lakeside paradise known for its tranquility and luxury—a setting that matched the purity and intimacy of the moment perfectly.
As soon as the news broke, fans and fellow celebrities took to social media to congratulate the couple. Hashtags like #SheSaidYes, #YkeeAndEmilly, and #LoveWins began trending, with thousands sharing their joy and well wishes.
