Kenyan TikToker Rachael Otuoma has finally addressed growing questions about why she no longer wears the ring left to her by her late husband, Ezekiel Otuoma.
Speaking during a TikTok Live session on Saturday, February 21, 2026, Rachael responded firmly to a fan who questioned her decision to remove the ring.
The social media personality expressed frustration over what she described as unnecessary scrutiny of her personal life.
Rachael Otuoma: “I Have Moved On”
During the live session, Rachael made it clear that her life has progressed and she sees no reason to continue holding onto the past symbolically especially now that she is in a new relationship.
She questioned why her TikTok live should be interrupted by constant questions about the ring, revealing that she currently has a new partner who may eventually put a new ring on her finger.
According to Rachael, it would not make sense to keep wearing her late husband’s ring while building a new chapter with someone else.
She also warned critics against pushing her too far, saying she could address them directly in a separate session if necessary.
“Widows Deserve Love Too”
Rachael strongly criticized the belief that widows should remain emotionally stuck in the past.
She challenged those suggesting that losing her husband means she should not move forward or find love again.
She emphasized that widows deserve happiness, companionship, and even remarriage if they choose.
Rachael stated that she had already removed the ring and stands by her decision, insisting that no one has the authority to dictate how she should live her life.
Social Media Reactions
Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporters praising her courage to move on, while others continue to question her choice.
However, Rachael remains firm: her life has moved forward, and she deserves love just like anyone else.
