Tanzanian musician Juma Jux recently sparked curiosity after asking Kenyan singer Bahati when he plans to marry Diana Marua, his longtime partner. The question came during Juma Jux’s lavish wedding celebration held on June 28 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where Bahati and Diana were among the few Kenyan guests invited.
During the wedding festivities, Juma Jux and his wife, Priscilla Ojo, were enjoying their special day when they caught up with Bahati and Diana. Jux, noticing that Bahati and Diana have been together for years without tying the knot, playfully asked Bahati when he would finally get married. “When is the wedding? Next is yours,” Jux remarked, encouraging his friend to follow suit.
The exchange highlighted the strong friendship between Juma Jux and Bahati, who had asked the Kenyan star to be one of his groomsmen. Bahati, however, responded with a mix of humor and seriousness, explaining that the main challenge was meeting the high standards set by Juma Jux’s wedding. “We have just one problem, the standards. I don’t want to answer on the when until I am sure. Africa is proud of you and you are giving us pressure,” he admitted.
Diana Marua chimed in, encouraging Juma Jux to enjoy his wedding day while reassuring that hers with Bahati would come soon. She shared her excitement on social media, acknowledging Jux’s question and affirming that the next grand wedding would be theirs.
Bahati also made a heartfelt promise to Diana, acknowledging the long wait they have endured over nearly a decade together. He pledged that when their day finally comes, it will be a celebration to remember, making up for the years of anticipation. “Dear my lovely wife, Diana, I know it’s been a long time waiting for our wedding. Next year, we will be celebrating 10 years together. I know this feels like a long time, but don’t worry. The big day will be worth the wait,” he wrote.
The wedding of Juma Jux and Priscilla Ojo set a new standard for romance and celebration, something Bahati praised highly. He described the event as a lesson in how a man should cherish and honor the one he loves, saying, “The African boy has truly honored East Africa. Congratulations, my brother and the beautiful bride. I can confirm I am next.”
Only a handful of Kenyans attended the exclusive celebration, including top fashion designer Filbert Mkiche, who impressed everyone with his stylish presence. Media personalities such as Claudia Naisabwa, who hosted on behalf of Wasafi TV, and radio and TV presenter Mzazi Willy M Tuva, were also part of the invitees, adding a touch of glamour to the event.
Meanwhile, the wedding also brought attention to the dynamics between Tanzanian artists Diamond Platnumz and Zuchu. Observers noted that the two appeared distant, sitting apart and seemingly ignoring each other during the event. Fans expressed sympathy for Zuchu, encouraging her to have faith and trust that the right time and partner will come her way.
Juma Jux’s wedding has clearly left a lasting impression, not only through its grandeur but also by sparking conversations about love, commitment, and the high standards partners set for one another in relationships. As Bahati and Diana prepare for their own big day, many fans eagerly await the celebration that promises to be just as memorable.
