Marya Okoth shares details on navigating a love life
By Cynthia Lodite, January 19, 2026Actress and digital creator Marya Okoth has shared her perspective on love and relationships, offering a heartfelt message on the importance of self-worth and emotional safety.
Taking to her Instagram on Monday, January 19, 2026, Marya shared insights into navigating one’s love life, encouraging people to choose relationships and spaces that make them feel loved.
Marya, while holding a bouquet, emphasised the value of being in spaces where love is freely given.
“In this life, go where you are loved,” Marya wrote.
Marya’s engagement
Her remarks closely follow a series of her engagement photos to her wedding, which she shared for the first time in a touching end-of-year Instagram post.
The pics shared on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, show Marya beaming alongside her husband, city lawyer Jack Okula, in joyful and intimate shots.
This comes a month after the couple held a stunning white wedding ceremony on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, following their private traditional wedding.
The white wedding was kept as intimate as their traditional ceremony, with only close family and friends in attendance. Marya has not shared any photos from her traditional wedding, and it remains to be seen if she will post images from this latest celebration.
In August 2025, Marya and Jack tied the knot in a luxurious but low-key traditional wedding. The couple dressed in elegant traditional Luo attire, creating a memorable and vibrant ceremony. Photos and videos from the event showed the couple in a private helicopter, highlighting the exclusivity of the celebration.
Family members and guests were seen dancing and enjoying the joyous occasion, though Marya herself maintained privacy, letting close friends share glimpses of the day rather than posting herself.
Break up with YY
Marya’s journey to this wedding followed a public breakup with YY Comedian, which she announced on Instagram on September 5, 2024. In her statement, she explained that the split was due to unavoidable circumstances and asked for privacy.
“Hello and good morning. We are saddened to let you know that Marya Okoth and YY Comedian will no longer be together due to unavoidable circumstances. Thank you for your love and support through our union. We expect individual privacy from each one of you,” she wrote.
Since then, Marya has kept her new relationship completely private. She has not revealed details about Jack Oula publicly, and even videos from their wedding were shared by close friends rather than her own social media accounts until December 30, 2025.
