- Betty Nakibuuka expresses pride and excitement as her daughter Baby Gloria prepares for her August wedding to Mbaleka Jonas.
- The singer shares the couple’s journey from friendship to love, highlighting prayers for a caring and respectful partner.
Renowned gospel artist Betty Nakibuuka appears to be elated about her daughter Baby Gloria’s recent traditional wedding ceremony to her partner, Mbaleka Jonas. With their wedding scheduled for August, Nakibuuka seems to be a proud mother still cherishing her daughter’s significant achievement.

In a local interview, she shared details on how the young couple met. She has been praying for her daughter to find someone who is loving, caring, and respectful, and Mbaleka embodies all those qualities.
The singer of “Luyiba Lwange” expressed that finishing school is typically a precursor to marriage in a young woman’s life. As a result, she often inquired about her daughter’s romantic life, even monitoring her social media for any men who showed interest.
However, when they discussed potential suitors, Gloria would assure her mother that the men were nice. Nakibuuka playfully remarked to her daughter at one point about whether she might be considering a same-sex relationship.

Eventually, Gloria introduced Mbaleka to the family, but they initially thought it was a joke and didn’t take it seriously. One day, while traveling with her daughter, the topic came up again, and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
I constantly prayed for my daughter to find a man who is loving, caring, respectful, and diplomatic. Mbaleka possesses all these traits, but the manner in which they met still astonishes me.
They were friends for a while, and Gloria turned down several men whom I believed were suitable. Whenever I brought them up, she would ask me to leave them alone, and one time I jokingly questioned if she was considering being a lesbian. But then she introduced him, and we initially dismissed it as a joke; however, later she mentioned he was the one she intended to marry.
Despite Nakibuuka’s frequent media presence discussing her daughter’s upcoming marriage, which clearly excites her, it hasn’t been entirely well-received by some members of the public. Some individuals have gone so far as to suggest that it could lead to heartbreak.
Politician Betty Nambooze even advised the gospel singer to honor her daughter’s privacy. Nevertheless, many others are supportive of the family and extend their best wishes to them.
