In a tweet, Uhuru revealed that Kenya's first president was his wing man.
Jomo Kenyatta was the cupid holding the arrow that struck President Uhuru Kenyatta's heart, when he set his eyes upon first lady Margret Kenyatta.
"I first met Margaret when I was out swimming with my father," President Uhuru Kenyatta said in his celebratory message for the International Women's Day.
Uhuru in the past has spoken about how he meet Maggie.
"When I met her she wasn't the First Lady, she was just another wonderful, beautiful girl."
He continued, "Her brother was my friend in high school. Through him, I managed to meet his younger sister and we started off a relationship that has lasted from high school till now, and I'm thankful to God for that."
He went on to advise: "Who you meet today as a friend and a partner may be your First Lady tomorrow. The girl I met in high school is the First Lady...(laughs)."
In his tweet, President Kenyatta added, "my father nudged me to befriend her [Margaret]. I have now known her for most of my life."
A romantic Uhuru said Margaret is his friend, partner and a strong supporter of his ideologies.
"Strong and successful women make a strong and successful Kenya. Happy International Women's Day," he added.
International women's day is a worldwide event that celebrates accomplishments, constitutional right to dignity and equality of women.
Kenyans of course had something to say about the tweet.
