Businessman Kennedy Rapudo surprised his partner, socialite Amber Ray, with a second proposal during her extravagant baby shower, which was attended by several fellow celebrities. The event, originally scheduled for April 14, 2023, was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite the gloomy weather and rain, the all-white dress code was maintained, and comedian Eric Omondi even arrived in a white Mercedes-Benz to add a touch of glamour to the event.
Kennedy Rapudo and Amber Ray first got engaged during their romantic vacation in Dubai in November 2022. They announced they were expecting their first child together in January 2023. The news of their engagement and pregnancy was received with mixed reactions, with some questioning the authenticity of their relationship.
The video of Kennedy Rapudo's second proposal to Amber Ray at the baby shower quickly went viral, with many wondering why he proposed a second time. In the video, he expressed his deep love for Amber and the belief that they are meant to be together, no matter what challenges they may face in their relationship.
"You are my wife and without you, there'll always be sorrow, there's no happiness. Even if we fight, never take this ring off, because I will always come back to you," said Rapudo while proposing.
Despite the controversies surrounding their relationship, Amber Ray appeared touched by the gesture, wiping tears from her eyes as she accepted his proposal.
However, their relationship has not been without its challenges. The couple has faced criticism for their many breakups, which some have considered to be mere publicity stunts aimed at garnering attention. Amber Ray and Kennedy Rapudo had previously broken up in September 2022, citing "structural irreconcilable differences." However, they were able to patch things up a month later when Kennedy Rapudo apologized with a thousand roses.
In March 2023, Amber took to her Instagram stories to announce the news of her breakup with Kennedy Rapudo, writing, "A new day to start as a single mother of two..." and adding the hashtag #Donewithlove. The couple even unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted photos of themselves together from their timelines. The news came as a shock to their fans, who had believed that the couple had worked through their differences.
However, their recent reconciliation has given their fans hope that their relationship might just work out in the end. Amber recently threw Kennedy Rapudo a lavish birthday party, which he described as an "absolute delight." He expressed his gratitude for her unwavering love and support, and for making every moment of his life an adventure.
In response, Amber Ray captioned a video of the event on Instagram, saying, "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That's what I hope to give you forever."
Despite the ups and downs of their relationship, it seems that Kennedy Rapudo and Amber Ray are determined to make it work. Only time will tell whether their love will stand the test of time, but for now, their fans are rooting for them and eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for this controversial couple.
