The lovely couple has been married for 20 years, and while Kipchoge shines on the track, his wife is the glue that keeps the family together.
Who is Eliud Kipchoge’s wife?
While the athlete is busy chasing medals, his wife takes care of their children and ensures that their home is intact.
The two knew each other from primary school, and they even attended the same high school. They later got married.
“I studied with Eliud all his life, from primary to high school. I am the wife and have been his supporter throughout his career. When he is away running, I take care of the children and the farm,” she said in an earlier interview.
Grace previously shared that it was hard being married to a record holder because he was often away from home.
Through the highs and the lows, the two have made it happen, and their marriage is goals to some of Kipchoge’s followers.
In a new post, while meeting the Royal Family of Thailand in remembrance of Queen Sirikit, who passed away in October, the athlete and his wife looked lovely.
“Yesterday I had the honour of meeting His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Her Majesty Queen Suthida. Thailand is observing a year of remembrance for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, and I joined the Royal Family and the Thai people in mourning her and honouring her memory,” he said.
Eliud revealed that he would run the half-marathon in honour of her Majesty Queen Suthida.
“What moves me most here is the genuine kindness of the people and the way Thailand never treats me as a visitor. You welcome me as a friend. Tonight I will run the half marathon alongside Her Majesty Queen Suthida and all 48,000 of you. I can’t wait,” he said.
In the photos he shared with the royals, one of the snaps showed he was holding his gorgeous wife. The photo elicited a reaction on social media.
