Actress Marya Okoth has officially turned a new page in her life, marrying in a colourful traditional wedding held in Ugenya, Siaya County. The ceremony, marked by cultural richness and joyful celebrations, comes less than a year after her highly publicised breakup with comedian YY.
Marya and YY were once a fan-favourite couple, admired for their close bond and shared parenting journey. However, in September 2024, YY confirmed their unexpected separation, which left fans stunned. Shortly after, YY entered a brief relationship with Noela Toywa, which lasted less than four months. Meanwhile, Marya remained out of the limelight until now.
Social media recently buzzed with photos and videos from Marya’s traditional wedding to Okula Jack, a senior official at the Ministry of Education. The vibrant ceremony, held over two dates May 31 and August 3 captured the attention and admiration of many fans.
In the photos, Marya looked stunning in a leopard-print gown adorned with a feathered headpiece, exuding elegance and cultural pride. Her groom complemented her look with a matching light beige traditional outfit. A touching video from the event showed the couple singing a Seventh-day Adventist hymn, reflecting the religious aspect of their union.
Though the wedding has sparked public excitement, Marya has yet to mention the event on her social media platforms. Instead, she has continued sharing influencer and promotional content, staying true to her online persona.
This significant milestone follows a reflective period for Marya. In a candid YouTube video released in November 2024, she spoke openly about regrets, relationships, and lessons learned. “I don’t really move with regrets that much,” she said, adding that she views setbacks as opportunities for growth rather than sources of bitterness.
Her graceful silence during past storms and her joyous emergence into a new chapter have won admiration from many. Marya’s wedding not only marks a personal milestone but also symbolises resilience, healing, and hope after heartbreak.
