Akothee’s first husband Jared Okello was among the guests who attended the singer’s book launch in Nairobi.
The mother of five launched her book titled ‘Akothee Quotes’ at an event held at Eka hotel on June 4, 2022.
The singer’s ex-husband Jared Okello was in attendance and he was given a chance to speak at the event.
Okello used the opportunity to pour out his heart to the mother of his three daughters – Vesha, Rue and Fancy.
He congratulated his baby mama and revealed that he had the best experience with her while they were married.
Akothee’s first husband noted that they had ups and downs during their marriage but nonetheless remained friends.
“I love you Esther, I will continue supporting you, counsel with you and see you grow to greater heights,” Jared Okello said.
Akothee got married to Jared Okello at the age of 13 when she was still a student in high school in Homa Bay County.
She got her first baby at the age of 14, and by 16 she had already delivered four kids. (One died shortly after delivery).
Akothee’s father-in-law didn’t approve of their marriage. In March 2018, the singer painfully how Jared’s father stormed their house, beat her into a pulp before dragging her out of her compound in the dead of the night.
