Sophia Wanuna is a well-known journalist, news anchor, and TV host from Kenya. She is known for her boldness in the industry, asking tough interview questions, and handling political issues with finesse and brevity.

Her career in journalism started in 2010, and she has since climbed the ladder from the bottom, becoming a senior reporter at KTN Kenya.

Not much is known about Sofia's current relationship status.

Her ex-boyfriend, Sasha Mutai, is a well-known businessman and former chairman of the Safari Sevens rugby tournament.

He introduced Sophia to his family before proposing, but unfortunately, the relationship ended before they could tie the knot.
