Charlie, the boyfriend of 35-year-old Betty Kyallo, has responded to critics who claimed he is 21 years old, stating that he is actually 26 years old.
In a statement posted on his Instagram page, Charlie addressed his critics who claimed he is Betty Kyallo’s Ben 10.
“As a sad ex, I can proudly say I am no longer associated with you unhappy people with nothing but hate. Can’t a man find love? I found happiness,” Charlie said via his Instagram page.
He added, “So all of you do the math and watch us do the numbers. 21-year-old Ben 10 is 26.”
The statement came after Charlie and Betty celebrated his birthday at a popular entertainment center in Nairobi, where he splurged over Ksh300,000 on the festivities.
The couple’s relationship has been met with criticism from some social media users who have pointed out the visible age difference between the two lovers.
However, socialite Vera Sidika defended Betty, saying that netizens should stop attacking her and let her enjoy her relationship in peace.
“Give Betty a break. When she went out with older men, you were all too busy saying shame on her for going out with fathers and married men. Now dating a boy is a problem, eh human!! Let the girl be happy,” Vera wrote.
Betty herself took to Instagram to wish her boyfriend a happy birthday and thanked him for being the “right one”. She wrote “God sent me the right one. You all can be angry” and expressed her gratitude for his love and support.
The couple’s relationship has been gaining attention on social media, with many fans praising Betty for finding love again after her previous relationships. However, some critics have continued to express their concerns about the age gap between the two lovers.
