Keith and Rochelle have been head over heels in love with one another and they never fret about expressing their feelings out to the world.

In his words:
“The person I share my closest bond with is Rochelle. I am lucky to have her in my life because the best part is despite being my fiancee she’s my best friend. Another great thing about Rochelle is that she’s emotionally intelligent and understands me. She always supports me when it comes to personal or professional matters and has always stood by my side in difficult times."
Fast forward to now, the madly-in-love couple, Keith and Rochelle are expecting their first child. The duo announced their happiest news on their IG handle on August 2, 2023, and dropped dreamy pictures from their maternity photoshoot.
