Aurore Mutesi Kayibanda, the winner of Miss Rwanda 2012, has announced that she is no longer married to renowned photographer Egide Mbabazi.

Mutesi confirmed the divorce to US-based showbiz journalist Ally Soudy during an Instagram live interview on Sunday, February 21.

"We are no longer together. Unfortunately, I can't give any more details about our separation right now. [Maybe] I will write a book about it and put everything in there," Mutesi said.

Mutesi and Mbabazi, who are both based in the United States,  got engaged in March 2018 before sealing their marriage in the summer of the very year. They were considered as one of Rwanda's top celebrity couples of the last decade.

During her reign as Miss Rwanda, Mutesi was also crowned Miss Fespam – a pan African beauty pageant – in Congo Brazzaville and represented the country at the 2013 Miss Supranational in Belarus.
