Former NTV news anchor Larry Madowo shocked many social media users after introducing his male lover identified as James Kin who he is planning to marry and settle down with.
Larry who is currently working as a BBC correspondent in the USA openly declared his sexuality as gay after years of speculation.
In 2016 In his column on Daily Nation, Larry addressed allegations he was gay after being attacked on social media.
At the time Larry was apologizing for the ‘fart’ tweet about Raila Odinga, new insults that were corrosive that followed.
He then affirmed his followers that he wasn’t gay like his critics would say with slanderous insults.
“A new round of insults followed. Posts appeared claiming I was a product of rape, I had changed my name after high school, was a preacher at a church, was engaged to a Kikuyu girl, was gay and was raised in an orphanage, all completely false.” Larry wrote in part.
But Larry seemed to have made a U-turn on his earlier stand on his sexuality according to a report by Mtaani.co.ke.
Madowo now claims that his new job position enabled him to relocate to America where he was able to freely practice his sexuality.
Speaking on his Instagram live, Larry said African countries allow the practice of homosexuality even though most people especially in Nairobi have started practicing it, according to the publication.
The journalist claimed that since his childhood, he always had a strong affection towards the male gender and has never felt comfortable around ladies.
According to Mtaani.co.ke publication, Larry said he found true love and he is ready to marry the 26-year-old African American man. Larry went ahead and revealed that the two have been together for the past 3 months and have also been staying in the same apartment during the same period as per the publication.

“I want you guys to meet my new lover. His name is James Kin. He and I are just a perfect match and we have been complimenting each since I knew him three months ago. He is my true happiness, and thanks to my new job here in the USA, I was able to explore my sexuality without any form of judgment. I would urge everyone to only settle for what makes them happy”, said Lary as reported by the publication.
