Former Sauti Sol member Willis Austin Chimano has sparked conversation online after sharing an intimate vlog showing how he spent a relaxed Sunday with the man believed to be his partner.
The singer posted the TikTok vlog on September 28, 2026, giving followers a close look at an otherwise ordinary day that involved relaxing at home, driving around, shopping for food and preparing a Mediterranean-style meal.
The casual video quickly attracted attention because Chimano, who has previously kept his partner away from the public eye, appeared comfortable documenting their time together.
The vlog follows the pair from a sunlit apartment balcony to a parking area and into a car before they head out to shop.
Chimano begins the video in a cheerful mood while filming his companion.
“It’s such a gorgeous day. Yes. And look at that skin. Sunkissed skin,” he says in the clip.
The pair then head out to run errands, with the outing including shopping for ingredients for the meal they later prepare at home. The vlog captures the ordinary parts of their day casually.
Once back home, Chimano and his companion get into the kitchen and prepare a Mediterranean-style fish dish.
They work on the meal together, including preparing potatoes by par-boiling and later baking them until they become crispy. They also serve the meal with gravy before eventually sitting down to eat.
The relaxed setting becomes even more personal when the pair, alongside friends, sit on the floor to enjoy the food.
Chimano refers to the gathering as “our ritual,” giving viewers a glimpse into a routine that appears to form part of their social life.
The video has since generated a range of reactions from Kenyan social media users.
Some viewers celebrated Chimano’s apparent happiness and the relaxed nature of the outing, while others questioned or commented on the relationship.
The renewed attention comes years after Chimano publicly discussed his sexuality and his decision to live more openly.
In December 2021, he publicly identified himself as part of the LGBTQ+ community while discussing his first solo music. At the time, he said his song represented ballroom culture within the queer community.
