On Friday, the internet buzzed with excitement as photos of singer, reality TV star, and influencer Baby Gloria’s engagement to her longtime lover, Jonas ‘Rayme’ Mbaleka, surfaced online earlier than expected.
A Scheduling Mishap Leads to Premature Announcement
While speaking to the media, Baby Gloria clarified that the premature release of the engagement photos was an Instagram scheduling mistake rather than an intentional leak. She explained that she had mistakenly set the post to go live at 11 AM instead of 1700 Hours (5 PM).
“The photos were posted prematurely. If you know Instagram well, you know that you can schedule posts. In the 24-hour clock system, 1700 Hours is 5 PM, and 5 O’clock in the morning is also an option. I thought I had scheduled it for 1700 Hours in the evening, but we were shocked to find the images live in the morning.”
Her mother, Betty Nakibuuka, a veteran gospel singer, had earlier stated that the couple had planned to reveal the news at a later time but were taken by surprise when the photos went public ahead of schedule.
Baby Gloria’s Reaction to the Unexpected Reveal
Despite the mix-up, Baby Gloria revealed that she and her fiancé were fully prepared for the engagement announcement and had already crafted captions for the posts.
“Even the captions had been written while scheduling, so that’s what my mother meant. But we were ready for everything.”
Her engagement news was met with excitement from fans and fellow celebrities, who flooded social media with congratulatory messages.
Plans to Keep Wedding Details Private
Following the unexpected photo release, Baby Gloria also hinted that she intends to keep her upcoming wedding a private affair, opting for a more intimate celebration away from the public eye.
“The engagement is now public, but the rest of the ceremonies, including the wedding, will be kept private because it’s a personal matter.”
As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, fans eagerly await more updates while respecting her decision for privacy.
Congratulations to Baby Gloria and Jonas ‘Rayme’ Mbaleka on their engagement! 🎉
