It is the soap opera that Kenya’s internet never wants to end. CNN’s Larry Madowo and DW’s Edith Kimani have once again set tongues wagging with a birthday exchange so dripping in affection it has left netizens asking: "Are they or aren't they?"

The latest episode in this "will-they-won't-they" saga unfolded on Instagram as Edith celebrated her birthday. What followed was a masterclass in public intimacy, with Larry posting a "lovey-dovey" message and Edith responding with a montage that felt more like a wedding reel than a friendly shout-out.

"Unusual Life Hacks" and Sweet nothings

Larry, celebrating his own 38th birthday recently, had asked fans for "unusual life hacks," but it was his interaction with Edith that stole the show. Edith’s video montage featured clips of the duo in France, capturing moments of undeniable chemistry—from shared laughter to lingering glances.

• The Message: Edith captioned her post with a heartfelt tribute, celebrating Larry’s "bald and bearded" era while affirming their deep bond.
• The Reaction: Fans immediately flooded the comments, playing the role of online in-laws, urging the pair to "quit playing games" and tie the knot.
• The History: This is not new. From "dates" at Kenchic in 2014 to cozy photos in 2021, the pair has mastered the art of keeping the public guessing.

The Power Couple That Isn't (Yet)

Whether this is a profound platonic friendship or a carefully curated romance, Madowo and Kimani understand the currency of attention. In a digital age, they are the undisputed King and Queen of "soft launching" without ever actually launching.

"Happy birthday, my darling," Edith wrote. For their legions of fans, that is confirmation enough. The wait for the wedding invitation continues.
