Having Yunge feature so prominently in a family outing of this nature signals how comfortably he appears to have been welcomed into the inner circle. Is George dating? The president’s son made a surprise visit alongside his team to Teacher Cillah’s school in Westlands following her viral marriage proposals to him. During the visit, George publicly addressed the ongoing romance rumours and clarified that he is already in a relationship by stating, “niko na bibi.” By making this lighthearted disclosure, he politely put an end to the educator’s public romantic pursuit while acknowledging the online buzz it had created.
