Celebrated Kenyan actress Marya Okoth has officially tied the knot in a stunning traditional wedding held in her rural home of Ugenya, Siaya County.
The low-key event, which took many by surprise, introduced her new husband to the public for the first time — Mr. Okula Jack, a senior legal advisor in the Ministry of Education.
Photos and details of the intimate ceremony surfaced online over the weekend, capturing the attention of netizens who had not anticipated such news.
Known for keeping her personal life private since her high-profile breakup with comedian YY, Marya’s nuptials came as a pleasant shock to fans and followers alike.
Okula Jack, the groom, serves as the Technical (Legal) Advisor to the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Basic Education, under the Ministry of Education.
Described as a respected and dependable professional, Jack is known within his close circles for his humility and commitment to service.
The traditional wedding, held in Sigomre, Ugunja, drew praise from friends and family for its elegance and authenticity.
“We celebrate you, my brother Okula Jack. You have been such a dependable and high-ranking member within our KITCHEN circle. Love wins.
Both events of May 31 and August 3 were top-notch. Full support system from us to the end,” wrote David Ochola, a close friend of Jack, in a congratulatory message on Facebook.
The new chapter in Marya’s life comes nearly a year after her separation from comedian YY.
The former couple had been admired for their chemistry and shared journey, including raising their daughter together.
Their split, which YY confirmed on September 6, 2024, marked the end of a relationship many saw as ideal.
YY later dated Noela Toywa, but that relationship fizzled out in under four months.
Since parting ways with YY, Marya had maintained a relatively low profile regarding her love life.
At no point had she introduced a new partner or hinted at a budding relationship, making the wedding revelation even more unexpected.
Marya, who has consistently wowed audiences with her talent on screen, has not yet publicly commented on her marriage.
However, the joy and celebration captured in the photos tell a story of new beginnings and quiet triumphs.
