For the first time, Kenyan singer Julius Okello, famously known as Okello Max, has peeled back the curtain on his private life, revealing his nine-year marriage and two daughters.
A revelation that surprised many fans who never knew about the singer’s family ties.
Known for his popular hit Kungfu and adored by female fans who affectionately call him “Daddy,”
Okello Max has built his career on a unique charisma that resonates deeply with his audience.
In a recent interview, Okello Max reflected on his career, acknowledging the incredible support he receives from his female fanbase.
“I’m a ladies’ man,” he admitted, “and without their support, I wouldn’t be where I am.”
The singer values the connection he has with his fans, often referring to them as the driving force behind his success.
This bond, however, has led to a fair share of memorable encounters, including one incident where two married women approached him after a performance, undeterred by the fact that he’s married.
Okello recounted the humorous experience, handling it with grace and gratitude for his fans’ loyalty.
Fame rocked his marriage
Beyond the spotlight, Okello Max is a devoted husband and father.
He shared that his wife and two daughters, aged eight and six, are central to his life.
Despite keeping his family life private, he expressed a deep love for them, admitting that the early days of fame posed challenges for his marriage.
“At first, it was tough for her,” he explained. “My wife is human; she naturally felt some jealousy, especially with the influence of her friends.”
