Bien clarifies: “I am not in an open marriage and never have been”

Bien-Aime Barasa has once again clarified that he and his wife, choreographer Chiki Kuruka, are not in an open marriage. “I have never claimed that we’re in an open marriage. I am not. It seems people are hoping for that, but I am happily in a monogamous marriage,” Bien reiterated.

Speculation began in June 2021, following remarks Bien made on the *Sol Family* reality TV show. He shared that he and Chiki had an understanding: if either of them ever met a celebrity crush who wanted to get intimate, they wouldn’t hold it against each other. “I don’t have an issue if that’s what she wants; I want her happiness,” he explained.

Bien believes his words have been misconstrued, leading to assumptions about an open marriage—something he firmly denies. “That was never the case. People just made assumptions, and I let it be,” he added.

Bien and Chiki wed in 2020 at a private ceremony with 50 guests, including friends like rapper Nyashinski and singer Nameless, who performed for the couple. The intimate event, held on a Friday, cost around Sh300,000. Bien shared on a podcast with MC Jessy that he sent invitations only two days prior to avoid receiving gifts. “I didn’t want the hassle of gifts or dealing with spoons and plates. I just wanted everyone to enjoy the moment,” he said.
