“We were together for 4 years before getting married, but just 6 months in marriage,” Betty recalled.
Betty Kyallo reminisced about her failed marriage to Dennis Okari while speaking during an interview with Dr King’ori.
The mother of one suggested that her wedding gown was responsible for her marriage crumbling so fast given that she had dated Okari for four long years before they decided to get married.
“I’m still trying to comprehend how it all happened. We were together for four years before getting married, but after just six months, everything fell apart. I can’t help but think there might be something wrong with that white dress,” Betty said.
She further shared her belief in the African superstition that excessive talk or boasting about something can invite bad luck, suggesting that it could have played a role in her marital woes.
Betty further acknowledged that sometimes things are simply not meant to be and attempting to force a failing relationship can’t work.
Mercy Kyallo made a lighthearted remark about her sister Betty’s brief marriage, saying: “Six months of marriage, was that a course or what was that?”
During a previous interview, Betty said there is so much pressure and criticism that come with being a public figure, but emphasized that she prioritizes peace and happiness.
“The divorce has significantly shifted my views on marriage. If I meet a great guy whom I envision as my lifelong partner, I may choose not to go through a formal wedding ceremony,” Betty said.
“Perhaps we would simply date, consider cohabitation, or have a traditional wedding without the grandeur. I can’t fully explain it, but there’s something about that white dress,” she added.
Betty also explained how she deals with trolls who constantly remind her about her failed marriage to Okari.
“People keep reminding me about the wedding, ati they did not have a phone in 2015, they are now congratulating me long after I have healed and moved on.
“I’ve developed the ability to clap back when necessary. I refuse to let their comments affect me and instead focus on my personal growth and journey,” Betty said.
