Truphena Muthoni denies having a boyfriend
Guinness World Record holder and environmental activist Truphena Muthoni has firmly rejected rumors about her being in a romantic relationship, calling the claims false and misleading.
Truphena spoke out after an X (formerly Twitter) user named Mary Njoroge posted photos of her with a man during her recent trip to the United Arab Emirates, along with a caption implying that Truphena had a boyfriend.
“I want to heartbreak you all, Truphena has a boyfriend. You all should stay guided; her millions are in safe hands,” the user wrote.
In response on Sunday, December 29, 2025, Truphena firmly shut down the speculation, making it clear that the claims were untrue.
“False allegations. I don’t have a boyfriend. Stop putting words into my mouth, please,” she wrote.
Just a few weeks after President William Ruto honored Muthoni with the Head of State’s Commendation (HSC) for her viral 72-hour hugging record, he took to his official X account on Monday, December 15, 2025, to announce another award.
This time, he recognized Truphena for her outstanding commitment to environmental stewardship.
“I am proud to bestow upon Truphena Muthoni the Head of State Commendation (HSC) Medal as a symbol of national honor for her exceptional service to our environment,” he shared.
Ruto went on to commend Truphena, highlighting that her passion and perseverance truly reflect the best of Kenya’s spirit.
Truphena received a prestigious award on Monday, December 15, 2025, at the State House in Nairobi.
During the ceremony, Ruto recognized that her impressive 72-hour record was not just a personal achievement but a powerful statement to raise awareness about environmental conservation and climate change on both a national and global scale.
“Truphena Muthoni is an outstanding young Kenyan whose passion and commitment truly reflect the best of our nation’s spirit. I had the honor of meeting her in my office after her incredible feat of spending 72 continuous hours embracing an indigenous tree, a deeply meaningful act aimed at promoting awareness about environmental conservation and climate change,” Ruto remarked.
