Why Chimano won't make his relationship public

29 January 2022

• Chimano came out in 2021, he says he wanted to 'feel free'.

Austin Chimano of the famous boy band, Sauti Sol, has said he would never make his relationship public.

The mellow voiced artiste says his partner prefers being behind the scenes and Chimano respects that.

Speaking during an interview with Mpasho, Chimano was asked if he plans on officiating his union any time soon, to which he responded;

'That I will keep to myself. One step at a time, But that part of my life I want to keep it to myself. If you ever find out well and good. I keep that to myself because it involves people who don't want to be in the limelight.'

Chimano came out as a gay man late last year. In an interview with Mpasho, Chimano said he decided to come out as 'hiding can become tiring'.

'It was about time, everyone has something they put in their own closet. It might be insecurity over their body weight or their sexuality. People live in a facade because they want to present themselves in a certain way.

You live a fuller and happier life when you fall in love with yourself. By accepting your weight, your sexuality, or your addiction.

Flaws are a stepping stone to realizing what your full power is. Everybody needs to jump out of the closet in whatever thing they are hiding. Live your life be happy. We only have one life."
