"She Has Made Me look like a Baby" COTU SG Francis Atwoli Wows Guests at a Special Event, Shares How Mary Kilobi Takes Good of Him

Veteran trade unionist Francis Atwoli melted hearts at a recent wedding event when he publicly praised his wife, Mary Kilobi, for the way she takes care of him. The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General spoke warmly about Kilobi’s support, telling guests that she understands him deeply from knowing when he needs his medicine to recognising when he is tired or upset.

Atwoli and Kilobi, who have been married for seven years, recently welcomed their first child together, a son named Atwoli Junior, in 2025. Their union has drawn attention not only because of the couple’s public profiles Atwoli as a prominent leader and Kilobi as a media personality but also due to their 36-year age gap, a topic they have addressed in the past.

At the wedding, Atwoli invited Kilobi to share their wedding gift and took the moment to acknowledge her contributions to their life together, delighting onlookers with his affectionate remarks. His tribute highlighted how well Kilobi knows his needs and routines, a sign of deep mutual care and understanding.

Social media users reacted positively to the couple’s display of affection, with many Kenyans praising the strong bond between Atwoli and his wife. Comments ranged from admiration for the way Kilobi cares for her husband to blessings for the couple’s future, showing widespread support from netizens touched by their story.

The moment served as a public affirmation of their relationship’s strength and the supportive role that Kilobi plays in Atwoli’s life, resonating with many who saw it as an example of partnership and love.
