Away from the political headlines that follow President William Ruto, his family has quietly produced a line-up of professionals working in law, diplomacy, business, design and aviation.
The eldest, Nick Ruto, is a practising lawyer who married Evelyn Chemtai in 2021. June Ruto chose a different path and works in diplomacy. She is married to Alexander Ezenagu, a Nigerian national.
Although Nick and June are not First Lady Rachel Ruto’s biological children, both have publicly acknowledged her as their mother, and she has long been a maternal figure in their lives.
Charlene Ruto is perhaps the most visible of the siblings. She is a trained journalist and businesswoman who has represented Kenya on several international platforms.
Cullie Ruto graduated in 2026 with a qualification in interior architecture. Stephanie Ruto has followed her father and her brother Nick into law, while George Ruto trained as a pilot and also runs business interests.
The youngest member of the family is Nadia Cherono Ruto, who was adopted by the President and the First Lady. She was named after Ruto’s late mother, Cherono.
Three of the children, Nick, June and Charlene, are now married, and their spouses come from Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania, reflecting the family’s wide links across the continent.
President Ruto, 59, and Mrs Ruto, 57, have watched their children build careers well beyond the shadow of State House, each making an identity that stands apart from their father’s political legacy.
