'Some things are inseparable'- Ferdinand Omanyala breaks silence on marriage rumours

Ferdinand Omanyala addresses ongoing rumours about his marriage to Laventa Amutavi, sharing a heartwarming family moment amid speculation.

Commonwealth Games 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his marriage to Laventa Amutavi, offering clarity on a subject that has been the focus of intense public speculation for months.

The athlete has been the subject of social media chatter regarding his personal life, with many questioning whether he and Laventa were still together.

Earlier this year, rumours surfaced that Omanyala had allegedly been unfaithful to his wife, sparking viral discussions about the state of their relationship.

Despite the widespread gossip, neither Omanyala nor Laventa directly addressed the issue at the time, leading to more speculation.

However, Omanyala decided to set the record straight in a heartwarming TikTok post on October 7, where he shared a glimpse into his family life.

In the video, the sprinter is seen enjoying a rare family outing with Laventa and their children.

As one of the fastest men in Africa, Omanyala admitted that his demanding schedule makes these moments precious.

The video shows Omanyala driving his family to a scenic destination as reported by PulseLive Kenya.

Laventa sits next to him in the front passenger seat, while their son and another woman, believed to be a relative, are in the back.

Upon arriving, Omanyala is filmed holding his son’s hand while Laventa, dressed in a striking red outfit, walks beside him, holding their daughter.

The relaxed and intimate family day seemed to convey a sense of unity and happiness, despite the rumours that had been circulating online.

"I love spending time with my family. We don't always get to see each other as often as we'd like, but when we do, it's always special," the sprinter captioned the video, showing his appreciation for the rare moments he can spend with his loved ones.

The post quickly garnered attention from Omanyala’s fans, many of whom praised the beautiful family scene. However, one TikTok user, going by the handle Bancy, brought up the ongoing gossip, asking, "I thought you guys separated?"

Rather than shying away from the question, Omanyala responded with a laugh and a statement that many found both simple and powerful.

"Some things are inseparable," he replied, a remark that seemed to put the separation rumours to rest and reaffirm the strong bond between him and Laventa.

In a separate post, Omanyala shared how he deals with the constant rumours and online gossip that often surround him.

"Haha. Yes, sometimes it’s good to listen, but sometimes you shut your ears and close your eyes," he said, implying that not all chatter on social media warrants a response.

Ferdinand Omanyala and Laventa Amutavi’s story began in 2016 when the two first met at an athletics event in Nairobi.

Since then, they have built a strong relationship, navigating the challenges that come with Omanyala’s meteoric rise in the world of athletics.

Throughout his career, Laventa has been a pillar of support, standing by him during both his highs and lows.

The couple now shares two children and continues to grow together both personally and professionally.
