Pastor Imelda Namutebi of Liberty Worship Center has broken her silence amid swirling social media rumors about her personal life.
The speculation started when the respected preacher was seen by the public, with some mistakenly claiming she had a baby bump.
Within hours, online chatter escalated — some users even suggested that Pastor Namutebi might be preparing to remarry.
Pastor Namutebi Responds to the Rumors
Addressing the claims head-on, Pastor Namutebi clarified that the gossip is completely false.
“Last week but one, rumors circulated that I am pregnant, but have you spotted any baby bump? They also said that I was going to get married, which is also not true. A lot was said. However, when we lose our loved ones, they don’t console us — all that is God’s making,” she said.
Her words make it clear that the preacher has no intention of moving on romantically at this time.
Remembering Pastor Tom Kula
Pastor Namutebi lost her beloved husband, Pastor Tom Kula, in 2021 after 19 years of marriage. Since his passing, she has remained fully committed to her ministry, prioritizing her spiritual work over personal relationships.
“A lot of things hurt. Before I got hitched to my late husband, a lot was said. When I laid him to rest, again much was said. All those hurt. I don’t think I will get married again. And I don’t want to get married now,” she added.
Her statement has resonated with many who have experienced similar loss or public scrutiny, highlighting the emotional toll of living under the spotlight.
