Kenyan actress and content creator Marya Okoth gave her followers something to smile about on Thursday, November 12, when she posted a carousel of loved-up photos.
The actress was celebrating her husband, city lawyer Jack Okula, on his birthday.
How did Marya celebrate her hubby’s birthday?
The couple appeared relaxed and stylish inside a large woven wicker nest-style structure set among lush greenery, both dressed in matching white tops paired with purple batik-style wraps.
Jack rounded off his look with a coordinating purple headwrap, giving the photos a warm, intentional aesthetic.
Alongside the images, Marya shared a tender message that left little doubt about how she feels about her husband.
“Happy Birthday, my love❤️❤️ You’ve been nothing short of a blessing to my life, and I love doing life with you, my sweet man🥹🥰🥰. To many more🥂,” she wrote.
She also set Kinoti’s song Happy Ever After as the background audio, a fitting soundtrack to the occasion. What made the day even more meaningful is that the birthday post doubled as an anniversary tribute.
November 12 also marked exactly one year since the couple exchanged vows in a private white wedding ceremony.
Their love story had already been sealed months earlier with a colourful traditional ceremony held in Ugenya, Siaya County, in August 2025, before the two jetted off to Bali, Indonesia, for their honeymoon.
Their romance reportedly began quietly in early 2025, though the two had known each other for some time before tying the knot.
Who is Marya Okoth’s husband?
Jack Okula is a Nairobi-based lawyer and senior official at Kenya’s Ministry of Education. A self-professed Seventh-day Adventist, he has previously spoken openly about faith being a cornerstone of his marriage.
Marya, widely recognised for her comedy skits and her role in the local production Nurse Toto, has not shied away from sharing her personal life with fans.
Before her marriage to Jack, she was in a long-term relationship with comedian Oliver Otieno, popularly known as YY, with whom she has a daughter.
