Shock as MP Shamim Malende Rumored to Be Dating Comedian Reign Omusoyisoyi

The private life of Kampala Woman MP Shamim Malende has taken center stage after her longtime partner, Andrew Ssebunya, expressed shock upon learning that the legislator may be preparing to introduce a new lover—comedian Regan Mugerwa, popularly known as Reign Omusoyisoyi.

Sources close to the MP reveal that Malende and Reign have been holding discreet family-level meetings in recent weeks, sparking speculation that the two could be formalizing their relationship. Insiders say the pair has already met each other’s families, with elders reportedly “excited” about the budding union.

For Ssebunya, however, the news has come as a bitter surprise. He accused Malende of cheating on him, even alleging that he has evidence linking her romantically to the comedian. “I was blindsided. This is betrayal,” he reportedly lamented, fueling further speculation about a brewing love triangle.

Malende herself has not openly confirmed the relationship. However, her recent cryptic posts on social media—speaking of “new beginnings” and “laughter as medicine”—have only intensified rumors. Her growing public appearances with Reign have also not gone unnoticed, with some political observers saying she seems more relaxed and cheerful these days.

Reign, one-half of the comedy duo Maulana & Reign, has kept silent on the matter, though friends close to him say he has grown “deeply fond” of the outspoken legislator.

The unfolding saga has become the talk of both political and entertainment circles, with many waiting to see if the rumored introduction will indeed take place. If confirmed, it would mark a dramatic twist in Malende’s personal life—one that Ssebunya insists has left him “betrayed and humiliated.”

As the speculation rages, one thing is clear: Shamim Malende’s next move is being watched closely—not just by voters in Kampala, but by a public fascinated with the mix of politics, love, and celebrity drama
