Their engagement party was held at a posh and an undisclosed location in the city.

Junior wore a white T-shirt, a safari hat and sayari pants, while Wanja wore an African print romper. 

While addressing guests, Junior, who also refers to himself as flower boy, said, "In the first year, I was just looking at rings and different stuff. Got her a ring from a jewellery shop that made the rings for 'Lord of the Rings'."

A source told Word Is, "They are planning for a wedding and it will be a surprise."

Photos from their engagement were shared on social media, with guests congratulating them.
