Carol Nantongo Explains Why She Keeps Her Relationship Private—”Even Beyoncé Was Cheated On!”
Ugandan singer Carol Nantongo has made it clear that she has no intention of revealing her romantic partner to the public anytime soon. Despite being in a long-term relationship, the “Oliwa” hitmaker remains committed to keeping her love life out of the spotlight, fearing that excessive public attention could invite scrutiny, criticism, and heartbreak.
In a recent interview with Galaxy TV, Nantongo shared her thoughts on celebrity relationships, explaining why she prefers privacy over publicity when it comes to love.
“I’d Rather Keep My Relationship Private”
Over the years, many Ugandan and international celebrities have publicly flaunted their relationships, only for them to end in messy breakups. Learning from these experiences, Nantongo has chosen a different approach—one that protects her relationship from external pressure.
“I will bring him out when I’m ready, but not now. Most of the couples who have brought their affairs into the news have always broken up, and some have been cheated on. There is nothing good in showing off; I’d rather be in hiding,” she explained.
She emphasized that her relationship has been going strong for several years, and keeping it private has helped maintain stability and peace.
Even Beyoncé Was Cheated On—Why Would I Take the Risk?
While discussing infidelity in relationships, Nantongo made a striking statement, referencing global superstar Beyoncé as an example of why no woman is immune to heartbreak.
“Even Beyoncé was cheated on, how about me? A man will never give you a reason to cheat on you; that is why he will still go after someone else even when you are fully packaged.”
Her remarks highlight a common reality in relationships—faithfulness is not guaranteed, regardless of beauty, fame, or status. Nantongo’s perspective resonates with many women who have experienced betrayal, despite doing everything to maintain a strong relationship.
Why Celebrities Struggle with Public Relationships
In the entertainment industry, maintaining a private relationship is becoming increasingly difficult, especially with the rise of social media and tabloids. Many celebrities find themselves in situations where their personal lives are constantly dissected by fans and media outlets.
Some key challenges include:
✅ Public Pressure: Constant attention from fans and the media can put unnecessary strain on relationships.
✅ Criticism & Speculation: People often assume things about celebrity couples, leading to unwanted gossip and misunderstandings.
✅ Increased Infidelity Risks: When a relationship is public, it attracts outside interference, including temptations and distractions.
Over the years, several Ugandan celebrities have publicly showcased their relationships, only for them to end in controversy and scandal. This includes high-profile breakups involving musicians, socialites, and media personalities.
Nantongo’s Approach—The Key to Relationship Longevity?
By keeping her romantic life under wraps, Carol Nantongo is avoiding the pitfalls that have caused many celebrity relationships to collapse. This strategy allows her to focus on her music career while enjoying a stable love life without outside interference.
Her firm stance on privacy raises an important question—should more celebrities adopt this approach to protect their relationships?
For now, fans will have to respect Nantongo’s decision, as she remains tight-lipped about her mysterious partner. Whether or not she ever introduces him to the public remains her choice—but for now, she seems happy keeping her love life behind closed doors.
