Actress Marya Okoth is finding her footing after a tumultuous breakup with comedian YY, revealing the hard-earned wisdom she’s gained through the experience.

In a candid interview with media personality Elizabeth Ngigi, Marya discussed the challenges of raising her daughter, Circe Gaona, under the relentless gaze of the public eye and expressed a desire for more privacy moving forward.

Reflecting on her journey as a mother, Marya admitted to the difficulties she faced when Circe experienced delays in achieving developmental milestones.

The actress shared her frustration over the incessant comparisons between her child and other celebrity babies.

“It was hectic. When my baby was small, there were some delays, and unfortunately, that invited unnecessary comparisons,” Marya recounted.

“While I don’t regret sharing that part of my life, there are definitely moments I wish I had kept private,” she added.

In light of her recent separation from YY, Marya is determined to keep her personal life out of the spotlight.

“After my recent breakup, I have learned my lessons. It’s something I’ve decided to keep private moving forward. For now, my focus is entirely on my brand and personal growth,” she stated resolutely.

As she steps into this new chapter, Marya is reportedly single and navigating co-parenting with her ex in order to provide a loving environment for little Circe.

With renewed clarity and purpose, she is ready to embrace this new phase of her life, prioritizing her well-being and her daughter’s upbringing.
