Okello takes these situations in stride, handling them with gratitude for his fans’ loyalty, no matter how unconventional the moments may be. In a surprising disclosure, he revealed that he has been married for nine years and is a father to two daughters, aged eight and six.
Initially, his wife struggled with his female fan interactions, which often sparked jealousy and outside pressures from friends. “At first, it was tough for her,” he explained. “She’s human; it’s natural.” Recognizing her concerns, Okello had an honest conversation with her, explaining his career’s demands. “We talked about it, and I told her this is my job… She understood. Since then, things have been easier,” he said.
As his career progresses, fans now see Okello Max not only as an artist but also as a devoted husband, loving father, and someone who genuinely values his supporters.
