Media personality and reality TV star, Betty Kyallo says she will never go public with the person she is dating saying it brings with it a lot of pressure.
The mother of one says her mum has been pushing her to take some time off and go for coffee dates.
“The previous relationship was too much drama I was like I’m done!”
Betty says she has in the past made mistakes, that is why Kenyans are keen on keeping up with her relationships.
“I think with everybody you are always kinda like look for somebody who fits you and sometimes you have to like go the long road to get to know who is good for Betty.”
How would she describe her personality?
Betty says she is crazy about being in love
“I am a lover. When I am in love with you I will love love love you but when I am done you will never see me again. But at the moment when I am in love with you, I will give it my all.”
Betty says she will keep her partners private in the future.
“I think I am just gonna date on the down-low try as much as I can and sometimes it is completely not possible.” She said. Adding,
But I think that’s one of the lessons I’ve learned because with you dating someone on the down-low you get to understand somebody without the noise of the world. “
She adds that she is not about to waste her time if the relationship is not working. This, she says is to help her protect her own peace and energy and she won’t be there forcing issues.
Media Personality Betty Kyallo yesterday held a party for her daughter’s 7th birthday in Karen.
Ivanna turned seven years last week.
During her birthday, the mother of one shared photos with her daughter and wished her well in her new year.
Ivanna is Betty’s child with Dennis Okari.
In her message to her daughter, Betty wrote;
“Happy birthday my dear child Ivanna! Oh, how I love you and cherish you! How you bring sunshine to my life! How you are a light in our world. I love you so much baby @ivannatheentertainer you are the only one in a million! Happy 7th Birthday sweetheart. Daddy and I Cherish you.”
Media personality Betty Kyallo has described the type of a man she is looking to get married to and start a family with.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, Betty says she prefers getting attached to a divorcee.
You all remember that she has gone through divorce and that is the very reason she wants to marry one.
According to Betty Kyallo, after her divorce with ex-husband Dennis Okari, marriage was a no for her but it’s something she has been thinking about. She is considering getting married again and get another baby
She started the conversation saying all the hustles she is doing are for her daughter.
“For all people who say that we have sponsors, broo we hustle hard. I am out here hustling for Ivanna. I dont think am out here hustling for myself, coz me nimekula life and that is what we are here for, we go through life and then at the end of the day, is about our kids. Na nataka kengine so if there are potential bachelors,” she said.
Betty added;
“I am not sure if I actually would want a divorced guy, a single man or a widower. I am always pulling on that direction of a divorced guy because I think tunaelewana. Because I have been through it. I feel like when you have someone divorced is almost like they know when things go wrong and so they try and avoid them. But I know there are nice guys as well. But tutaona tukiendelea,” she said.
She then paused a question to other divorced mums asking who they would rather go for.
“A widower would try to replace you with their wife. A new person, will have so much expectations, nataka unipikie, sahii nimetoka kwa nyumba, I will be late back. And a day like on a Friday, will be working upto 10:00 pm, what time will I cook? I think a divorced guy, tukielewana we will be like usinichezee. You are a guy what do you think?
Tunatafta so guys come leteni applications,” she concluded.
Previously, Betty has always pointed out that she knows the things that went wrong in her previous marriage and she knows what she needs to look for in a partner.
“For a long time, I didn’t want to get married after the divorce, but I think I know what went wrong and I know I can be better. I know what I need to look for in somebody. So, I’m starting to warm up to the idea of marriage because for me it was a no. But for now, I find myself thinking okay, inaweza,” she said.
Adding that she would like to have more children because she wants her daughter Ivanna to have siblings.
“I want more kids because if I don’t give Ivanna another brother or sister atakuwa like yeah mommy talk to my hand because my ears ain’t listening.”
He is not only an eye candy but fashionable as well. To top it all he is outgoing but sadly he is taken. But if he was not he wouldn’t last a day because team mafislets would be here to welcome him with open arms.
Steve Mbogo
The father of two is every woman’s dream of what a knight in shinning amour should look like.
He is also fashionable and very well traveled. Who wouldn’t mind having such a husband, sadly he is taken and we can only kula kwa macho.
The journalist has the looks, he is classy and as you might know by now his physique is something we can’t even start to describe.This is where we say if only wishes were horses then we would ride.
Rashid Abdalla
He is happily married to Lulu Hassan for years now. He is eloquent, classy, an eye candy and a responsible dad. He is among Kenyan celebrity couple who have remained relevant in the industry.
Believe it or not there are women who silently pray for a miracle and hope he will notice them but sadly he is off the market. For the single ladies out there keep reciting the Novena maybe God will answer you this time round.
Word has it that he recently tied the knot in a secret wedding in Ukambani, leaving many heartbroken. Some of us are still grappling with that fact and only wish he was still single.
But all the same we wish him all the best in his marriage.
Media personality Dennis Okari has responded to allegations that he is a deadbeat dad.According to him people say things without having facts to back it.
Speaking to Word Is on the phone, he said
I will not discuss family now, but at some point I will speak because so many things have been written about me, but people who say those things don’t know me well.
The question about me being a deadbeat is what has been said or what has been written, but a lot of it is not true. One day you will come to know about these things.
The public first learnt that Okari and ex-wife Betty are not co-parenting in July last year. The drama started when Okari called out Betty for exposing their daughter Ivanna on social media.
My daughter does not deserve the kind of publicity she has been getting. She deserves to grow up quietly and no one, including myself as her father, should interfere with her rights to privacy.
Betty took a subliminal shot at him, implying he is a deadbeat dad, while replying to a fan who was narrating how he was raising his children as a single parent.
“I have a son age 4 and a daughter age 2, their mother ran away and as a father, I took full responsibility to make sure my kids are growing up in a good environment.
And every day when I wake up I look at them, kiss them and I get motivated and the urge to hustle more so they won’t feel the absence of their mum,” the fan wrote.
To which Betty said, “I love this. Much love for you and your kids. I resonate with you because I’m all my daughter has.”
TV siren, Betty Kyallo has had it rough on social media but says that even Jesus was hated by a lot of people so who is she not to go through a lot of hate?
She noted she’s noticed that people who troll others do so because they are also stressed and unable to deal with the challenges in their own lives, so she just lets them be.
Her ex-husband Dennis Okari got married about a month ago and instead of people focusing on his wedding, many people were out to troll her that her man has completely moved on.
Just after the wedding, Betty unleashed a sneak peek of her man and just like Jalang’o said on Up Close with Betty, he is not black. Could be Caucasian, American, Spanish but definitely not a black man.
To make things clear to those hating on her, she said she is dating and is happy. Though she made sure he is not a guy in the limelight because she has learned her lesson.
i promised myself i will not date a man in the public limelight. i am very happy
So of course from the trolls on Dennis’ wedding against Betty, many people would say she will be crying in the toilet. She clapped back saying little do they know she was having the time of her life.
if they only knew my man was cooking for me some goodies while we watched Netflix. he then dropped me at work,I had a good show and then picked me up later. so please everybody apabamane na hali yao.
One thing Betty kept emphasizing to Jalang’o is that she is very happy with life.
Dennis and Naomi are currently enjoying their honeymoon It is not clear where exactly but they jetted out of the country to an exotic location.
Today morning, Dennis posted a photo of him and Naomi looking all lovey dovey.
As if to put emphasis on his new status he went ahead and made the photo his profile picture.
You know how they say, a photo speaks a thousand words? Well, this one spoke volumes, unlike his past relationship Okari has kept his new relationship private.
But as you know Kenyans are better than FBI so they always find things out on their own.
This comes as number our number one on the list. Well, they were the hottest celebrity couple that we all looked up too. No sooner had we fallen in love with them than they called it quits.
The stories on their break up are so many, with each blaming the other. Every day brings a new angle and different story in regards to their very sudden separation.
The two are still very influential personalities when it comes to journalism.
They have a daughter.
2. Lonina Leteipan and Sharon Mundia
This falls as number two because just after Betty and Dennis, this was the fastest and saddest break-up.
Remember the guy who decided to hire a chopper and propose on Mt. Kenya? Yeah, Lonina is his name. So after all the hustle and a great wedding, six months down the line they were over and done with each other.
The biggest rumor being Sharon decided to have a threesome without him so he was like, ‘not today Satan, not ever!’ And that was the end of the power couple.
They have a daughter together.
I know, it all started all rosy and gold then a sudden slap on the face.
The two are what we would call the mother and father of celebrity couples. They set the standards for everyone on this list when they proved we can both be celebrities and have a happily ever after(okay other than Nameless and Wahu of course).
I guess the nation spoke too soon, next thing we know Shaffie and Debbie have a daughter then we hear she has flown to the states and they are over.
Well, their sad story has never really come out, but we were all surprised when their break up was out to the public. Despite that, they did not have such a sad ending as they have an amazing daughter who stays with Debbie but Shaffie still plays the daddy role.
4. DNG and Yvette Nungari
Another very sudden separation. DNG was the man every lady thirsted to have. When Yvette won the race, many women were saddened.
Maybe the fact that he was on demand got to his head too fast and according to the rumors out there, he used to cheat a lot. Yvette could not take it anymore so she called it quits.
That was Yvette’s story, according to DNG, he called it quits saying he married a pretty woman with a cold heart and an even worse personality. Sounds weird because we would expect him to have known all about her personality before he decided she is the one.
Every time this story comes up, I see Tina Kaggia crying. She went through a hard time in a marriage that she claims was alcohol based. Tina has repeatedly said it to the public that JB Masanduku never handled his alcohol right.
This made Tina Kaggia fall into depression but from her last TV interview, she seems to be doing okay, taking one step at a time.
JB, on the other hand, found love elsewhere and he has been flaunting it on social media. We hope his new fling lasts longer.
They did not spend so much money on their wedding as compared to Dennis and Lonina’s love story as they just went to the AG and made things legal.
They have three children together.
6. J Blessing and Chantelle
This one is dramatic. The two got married and had a child who passed away. This gave both J Blessing and Chantelle sleepless nights and of course all sorts of emotions.
Next thing on the grapevines, J Blessing left allegedly because Tina cheated on him. J Blessing is a hot cake as from his current scandals. He is the dad on the block, the baby mama rumored to be Avril.
Just like that J Blessing and Chantelle were no more but they seem to be looking for love elsewhere so we can outrightly say, wako sawa!
Last but not least is Mc Jessy. This is one is sad. They had an amazing wedding which was filled with laughter, love, friends and family.
MC Jessy started getting too cozy with Shixs Kapienga and boom! Elizabeth and Jessy are no more. Shixs is and has always been his one and only. The question is why did he waste 6 years of love with Elizabeth if he knew his fate was Shixs? I know so sad!
There was no chance for gate crushing in both weddings thus it was invites only.
3. Wedding was attended by the high and the mighty
Nixon’s wedding was attended by the creme de la creme of the Kenyan society. Among those who attended included DP William Ruto’s wife Rachel and their son Nick and Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett.
On the other hand Okari’s wedding was attended by his fellow journalists Ken Mijungu, Olive Burrows among others.
Also in attendance was Bonfire proprietors Sarah Kabu and Simon Kabu.
Kenyans are still trying to come to terms with Dennis Okari’s wedding that happened on 15th February 2019 leaving many ladies heartbroken.
Okari who was married to Betty Kyallo married the love of his life in an invite only wedding and going by Betty Kyallo’s recent posts its obvious she has moved on.
Many have been wondering if Betty Kyallo is dating and it seems like she is given that a few days after Okari’s wedding she has gone to Enashipai to ‘create memories’ with her new bae.
Taking to instagram she wrote
“Nothing much, just out here making memories on a Monday. ❤️ @acephotographyke”
Sharing another post she wrote
“Vile nacheka nikikulisha watu ma-block. 😊😊😊 Hata BK hapendi ujinga Meanwhile @bountifulsafaris picha zile Moto moto Ziko wapi aisseee #Getaway ❤️”
A source has revealed that she and her bae always visit Enashipai for weekend getaways.
“Yes, we have seen her there severally with a middle eastern man. This was as late as December last year,” our source confirmed.”
To give this information credence, Betty Kyallo posted a series of mini videos on her Insta-stories showing off the mystery man’s appendages.
The video shows off the man’s hands clasping Betty’s as they take a stroll in the well mowed lawns of Enashipai Resort. We also glimpse his hairy limbs exposed because he is clad in shorts.
In one video Betty also shows off her black romper and lets her fans know that she is in Naivasha.
Meanwhile, she has posted about love conquering all after getting trolled during Dennis Okari’s wedding to Naomi Joy.
She tweeted:
“Shining Star😉 Never Broken. Thanks for watching #WeekendWithBetty”
In a question-and-answer session with her Instagram followers, Betty said she has moved on and she is “happier”.
“No pain whatsoever, happy for him. Wish him the best and to everyone else who’s gone or going through the same thing, you’re human, life happens, move on and find your happiness,” Betty said.
1. The second proposal was top secret not to be publicised
Okari proposed to Joy Naomi in a surprise dinner where only family and very close friends were invited.
His first proposal to TV queen Betty Kyallo was carried out during a holiday in Mombasa.
According to sources,
“Dennis took her to Mombasa. They went to south coast’s Swahili Beach Hotel. He informed everyone about it and for two days tourists were just staring at Betty.
He proposed at the poolside as a Maasai moran accompanied by two white twin girls carried the plate of roses surrounding the ring. It was mind blowing,” said our source.
Later the media reports indicate that the couple did gush about their engagement.
“I will not deny nor confirm this story but I will let you know soon,” Betty told a section of the media..
Dennis on the other hand hinted the possibility of the wedding but declined to give more details.
“We are still planning and we will let you know as soon as all is ready,” he said.
2. The traditional wedding went swimmingly without any drama
Okari’s traditional wedding in ukambani – Joy Naomi’s parents home – is said to have gone smoothly. No hitches at all.
That was not the case with Betty’s ruracio.
“When we started preparations for the traditional wedding, the cracks started to show. A week and a half to the ceremony, certain things about me were said by my partner’s family, and my family found out. They weren’t happy,” Betty narrated to True Love.
Adding
“I needed to find out what time their entourage would arrive. But he did not pick up my call. I tired calling him again after an hour and once again it went unanswered.”
Betty’s parents tried to contact Okari which saw their calls go unanswered too.
“At 3pm, when we tried to call again, all their phones were off. By the time the sun was going down, it was obvious that I had been stood up on my traditional wedding.”
3. Parents love the new fiancée
Going by the attendance at the engagement dinner, both Okari and Joy Naomi’s family seem to get along.
Again, this was the missing ingredient in Betty’s love life with Okari.
Everybody in her family wanted her to break up with Okari after what he had put her through.
Three years down the line, pregnant Betty Kyallo would then go back to Okari as she talked to him behind her family’s back.
The two agreed that when their daughter turned one year, they would do a second traditional wedding even though Betty felt that she was not being protected by Okari when it came to his family’s side.
This time round, the traditional wedding was attended by only ten people. Betty explained,
“We then decided that when Ivanna turned one, we would have the wedding,The second traditional wedding leading up to this day was attended by only 10 people.
My mum and dad were the only ones present from my from of the family. But ultimately, it was not the marriage ceremony I had dreamed of.”
4. The bride-to-be is sure of her decision
Joy Naomi was sure of her answer to Okari when she said, “Yes!” and hugged him tightly as the room burst out in cheers and ululation. The engagement dinner saw Okari get vulnerable and ask Joy:
“The answer that I will get today will be etched in my memories for as long as I live. I will love you with all the wisdom that God will give me and not just to love you but also to love Him as well and to serve His people.”
As for Betty, she had doubts from day one. She didn’t want the wedding nor the marriage but because of the “power couple” image they had created for the public, she agreed.
Betty said in a past interview:
“I felt it was still very premature and we had no story to tell. I was just learning the ropes and the idea of getting married was also just settling in.
So I wasn’t sure if our story would have depth you can imagine being engaged at 23, what do you know?
But when you are in love, you easily get influenced by what your partner thinks and feels. And so Dennis managed to convince me to take the opportunity.”
We wish the happy couple the best in their impending nuptials
Finally, Betty Kyallo has spoken after her ex husband, Dennis Okari proposed to his new bae. Yes! he has moved on and he even wants to marry his new lady while on the other hand, the TV siren is all laid back and just taking care of her baby girl.
Betty asked her fans and followers to ask her questions and one asked’
“Do you feel bad that Dennis moved on? how do you manage the pain?
She calmly responded saying,
“no pain whatsoever, happy for him. Wish him the best.And to everyone else who’s gone or going through the same thing, you’re human, life happens, move on and fine your happiness. I’m happier.”
In the past, Betty has hinted that Dennis Okari is a deadbeat father and that she has been raising their daughter alone.
Another fan asked how she manages to co parent with her ex husband and she responded by clearing the air that she is a single parent.
She has gone ahead to explain she is happier and that she is fine. We all know Betty Kyallo for her positive vibes and ever bubbly personality. She has also explained that what matters most in her life right now is her daughter and her business that is doing well.
Dennis recently engaged his current bae in a private occasion. This is a clear indication that he is over Betty and is ready to settle down again and Betty Kyallo is satisfied with her life currently.
Dennis Okari proposed to his girlfriend Naomi Joy at Eka Hotel Nairobi on Saturday night.
Hours before the engagement, Dennis was seen at the venue looking sharp, dressed in a black trouser, blue blazer, gray pull neck with a sense of African touch on the left hand side and brown loafer shoes.
Dennis arrived at Eka Hotel at exactly 8:20pm accompanied by a female friend.
He seemed quite uneasy and busy on the phone as he talked to the hotels management crew.
Soon after he went straight to the area reserved for the big moment which was located next to the coffee bar, where everything was set. From the ambience to the well placed table napkins, and the waiters standing strategically, the atmosphere was heavy with expectation.
At exactly 9:35 PM, Dennis with some few friends stood at the entrance of the hotel, and shortly after celebrations filled the place as the lady walked in with some friends.
There was no particular dress code colour as everyone was in their own.
Dennis went ahead to pop the question.
“I can’t wait to do life with you, and I can’t wait to start the journey if only I get the answer that I am expecting. So before all these lovely people, family, friends and our parents here.
This ring is just a symbol of my commitments to the covenant that we are going to make in one of these fine days.
So I want to ask you, Naomi Joy, with everything that I have and everything that I am will you marry me?”
Overwhelmed by joy, she said yes and passionately, they hugged each other.
The surprise engagement was graced exclusively by family members and close friends to the two.
NTV’s investigative journalist Dennis Okari on Saturday proposed to his current girlfriend identified as Naomi Joy at Eka Hotel, Nairobi at exactly 9:40 PM.
In a short speech before his friends and family, Dennis said;
“What I am going to say is not scripted or rehearsed but it is coming from the bottom of my heart. I have no written speech.
I never planned for this but what I know is that this day was ordained by God to be around this lovely people. This is going to be a special day for me an you because you are loving and God fearing person and I know that all the nice thing I can get are from you, so today I wanted to just share this special moments. The answer that I will get today will be etched in my memories for as long as I live.”
“I will love you with all the wisdom that God will give me and not just to love you but also to love Him as well and to serve His people,” Dennis said.
This comes after a top secret Ruracio that was held in Ukambani in October last year.
Everyone was calm as they waited for the man of the day to do his things.
Dennis went ahead to pop the question.
“I can’t wait to do life with you, and I can’t wait to start the journey if only I get the answer that I am expecting. So before all these lovely people, family, friends and our parents here.
This ring is just a symbol of my commitments to the covenant that we are going to make in one of these fine days.
So I want to ask you, Naomi Joy, with everything that I have and everything that I am will you marry me?
Overwhelmed by joy, she said yes and passionately, they hugged each other.
