The popular entertainment reporter McKenna Maduli and her beau, Kimo Kennedy, have been together for over a decade. But fans are curious if she has made him her husband.

Over the period, the couple has maintained a healthy relationship. They celebrated their 11 years of togetherness in 2023. Their love for one another has grown immensely.

McKenna Met Her Lover at a Concert

McKenna Maduli posted a short video in 2015 on her Instagram in which Kimo said they first met at a concert.

Then in 2019, she shared a one-minute video and said that she got a random text one day in 2012 from her husband that said, “Maybe you let me love you forever one day, dummy.”

“Seven years later I’m like happy 7 Keemz I was gonna make you a video but my phone died and now I have more time to go clean out the garage with all my thrifting finds that drive you crazy,” the reporter added.

The couple celebrated their seven years of togetherness that day. One user wrote in the comment section, “Happy anniversary, guys, love you both.”

Their relationship has been going on for over a decade and still has the same spark. The couple is blessed with two beautiful children – one son and a daughter.

McKenna has not addressed Kimo as her husband in any of her posts, and they don’t appear to wear rings. So, they might be waiting for the right time.

However, since 2019, the duo has not shared any pictures with one another. Also, the couple has unfollowed one another from their social media. So, could it be the pair have called it quits?
