Sauti Sol’s Savara Mudigi has clarified his relationship status after discussion on Alex Mwakideu’s podcast sparked renewed public curiosity.
The musician noted that although he recently marked seven years with his partner, he has not officiated the relationship and does not consider himself married.
During the interview, Mwakideu asked him about assumptions circulating online and among fans. Savara responded by saying, “Seven years… yes, I celebrated seven years. People keep asking, ‘wedding?’ Let me set the record straight — I’m not married. I’m not married, and I’m not officiated.”
He went on to state that he does not intend to publicly reveal when or if a formal ceremony will take place, adding, “When am I planning to officiate it? I’m not telling anybody about it — but I will do it.”
Privacy as a Personal and Professional Strategy
Savara explained that privacy around his relationship is deliberate and rooted in his long experience as a public figure.
He stated during the conversation that he prefers not to disclose details about his personal life to fans or the public.
According to him, “The thing is, for me, I keep my love life private on purpose. The reason is that I don’t feel like my fans need to know certain details.
I’ve been in the music industry and a public figure long enough to understand that what people don’t know, they can’t destroy.”
He also referenced concerns about exposure and intrusion, adding, “I just don’t want to invite a lot of energies into that part of my life. When it comes to my woman and my family — the people I love most — I don’t need to invite the public into that energy.”
He continued, “I don’t want that bull, because it’s sad. The way social media is now… the world is so polarized.”
Earlier Remarks About Partner in His Management Team
In May this year, Savara offered rare insight into his personal life when he spoke about choosing his longtime partner, Yvonne Endo, to be part of his management team.
The musician explained that her understanding of him made her the right fit, saying:
“Yvonne is part of my management team.Of everyone on the team, she’s the one who knows me best. I felt she was best placed to relay information, act as the bridge between myself and others, and help people understand me better — simply because she already does.”
He also noted, “I believe family should come first in everything. It’s important to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about you, people who would take a bullet for you.”
Savara stressed that different teams operate differently, adding, “There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Teams are built differently. The most important thing is to have a team you can trust.”
