Denis Okari Reflects on Failed Marriage to Betty Kyallo: “It Was Not Ordained by God”

Denis Okari has opened up about his past marriage to media personality Betty Kyallo, candidly sharing his regrets and the lessons he learned from the experience.

During a conversation with Kathy, Okari bluntly stated, “Nobody really cares about your story; you’re just entertainment on social media.” He then delved into his relationship with Betty, expressing remorse over how it ended and describing it as a marriage that was not divinely blessed.

How It All Began

Okari recounted how his career journey led him to meet Betty. After seeking divine guidance through prayer, he landed a job interview at Radio Maisha. However, the interview panel instead offered him a position at KTN, where he first crossed paths with Betty, who was then an intern aspiring to become a news anchor.

“We became very close friends, and to cut a long story short, our friendship evolved into a relationship,” he said. “Eventually, we had a child, and I had to face the reality of that situation. It wasn’t what I had planned, but I had to make a decision.”

After discussing the matter with his parents, Okari chose to move forward with Betty, stating, “Every girl dreams of having a wedding, so I thought, why not make it official?”

Rushed into Marriage

Reflecting on the wedding, Okari admitted it happened too quickly.

“It was so fast,” he sighed. “To be honest, I wish I never did it. But I went through with it out of good intentions—to try and correct a wrong. We had a child out of wedlock, and in my mind, marriage was the next step. I had seen it work for my parents, so I thought it was the right thing to do. But deep down, something didn’t feel right. I didn’t consult God, and I didn’t realize that two wrongs don’t make a right.”

The Marriage Falls Apart

Okari revealed that despite his efforts, things began to unravel.

“As fate would have it, we started drifting apart. A lot of things started coming out, and I found myself caught in the crossfire of public scrutiny. But deep inside, I was struggling with a bigger question—was this marriage of God? I couldn’t answer that.”

The public attention became overwhelming, and Okari withdrew from social media and the limelight. Seeking clarity, he turned to God for guidance regarding divorce.

“God told me to step away from social media for a year. So, I deleted all my platforms and took time to heal,” he shared.

Finding Healing

Okari admitted that he fell into depression but ultimately found healing through serving God.

“That marriage was not of God. She was not truly my wife, and I was not truly her husband. It was never meant to be,” he concluded.

Former TV personality Betty Kyallo has revealed that she is currently not seeking a relationship due to her concerns about the motives of potential partners. She explained that her past experiences in relationships have left her questioning the intentions of those who approach her.

“There are good guys out there, but for now, I’m not available,” Kyallo stated. She expressed her belief that being a celebrity often leads to people approaching her with ulterior motives, rather than genuine interest in her as a person.

“I feel like when you are a celebrity or famous, you can never be sure what reason(s) brings someone to your life,” she explained. Kyallo recalled experiencing relationships where she felt objectified and treated as a trophy rather than a valued partner.

“I have been in relationships where I’m just a trophy, by that I mean the guy doesn’t want you to talk or work. He just wants you to sit there looking pretty and smile,” she shared.

Kyallo acknowledged that her success in business and her celebrity status can make it challenging to find genuine connections. She believes that many men may hesitate to approach her due to misconceptions about her lifestyle and expectations.

“For women of our stature, and I have had this discussion with some of my peers, we feel like most good guys shy away from hitting on us because of the perception they have of us. They probably think we are high maintenance,” she observed.

Kyallo encouraged men not to be intimidated by her accomplishments and to approach her with confidence. She emphasized that open communication and mutual understanding are key to building successful relationships.

Reflecting on her past relationships, Kyallo revealed that she has always taken the initiative and ended relationships where she felt undervalued. She recalled one instance where she perceived a man’s withdrawal as a sign of his fear of her financial independence.

“I think he was scared of my maintenance, a bill here, a bill there, so he started acting up and being unavailable,” she explained. Despite this experience, Kyallo maintains positive relationships with most of her exes, highlighting her ability to maintain amicable connections even after breakups.
