In a surprising turn of events, celebrated gospel singer Julie Birungi formerly known as Julie Mutesasira has quietly returned to Uganda after spending several years abroad and successfully relocating her family to Canada.
Julie made headlines in 2020 after marrying her partner, Jean, in Canada following her separation from Pastor Steven Mutesasira.
The marriage drew widespread attention and sparked heated debate in Uganda, where strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws have long made such unions controversial.
Now, after years of living away, Julie has taken to social media to share her return to the “Pearl of Africa,” posting joyful photos and videos that have since gone viral.
Her unexpected homecoming has sparked a mix of surprise, admiration, and curiosity among fans and followers.
At the time of her marriage, many believed she would never set foot in Uganda again due to the potential legal and societal challenges. But Julie’s return proves otherwise marking a powerful moment that defies expectations and reclaims her space both as an artist and as an individual.
