Cherono reportedly got married on December 19, to one Edmond Ng’etich in a lavish traditional wedding held in Kipajit village, Chemagel constituency in Bomet County.

In attendance at her koito, as the ceremony is referred to among the Kipsigis people, were various athletes including Janeth Jepkosgei, Eunice Suma and Pauline Korikwiang.

In August, Ng'etich clinched a whopping Sh10.5 million courtesy of sports betting and it looks that win has done nothing but bring good tidings.

The hotelier bagged the whopping amount after he correctly predicted the outcomes of 13 matches on one of Kenya’s betting websites.
