While many Kenyans recognize Yvonne Okwara as one of the country’s most respected and authoritative news anchors, far less is publicly known about her husband, Andrew Matole.
Okwara, a prominent journalist with Citizen TV, has built a reputation for sharp political interviews and in-depth news analysis. Yet behind her high-profile media career stands a man who prefers to keep a low profile.
Andrew Matole is a Kenyan businessman who has largely stayed out of the public eye despite his wife’s celebrity status. Unlike Okwara, whose work regularly places her in front of millions of viewers, Matole maintains a private lifestyle, focusing on his professional and personal commitments away from media attention.
This deliberate privacy has made him a subject of curiosity among fans who admire Okwara’s work and wish to know more about her personal life.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 in a colorful traditional and white wedding ceremony attended by family and close friends.
Their marriage drew significant public interest, given Okwara’s prominence in Kenyan media. Despite the attention, the two have managed to keep their relationship largely private, rarely sharing intimate details about their life together.
Friends and colleagues have often described their relationship as supportive and grounded. Matole is said to be a strong pillar behind Okwara’s demanding career, offering encouragement as she navigates the pressures of broadcast journalism.
Their ability to maintain a stable marriage in the spotlight reflects a shared commitment to discretion and mutual respect.
Though Andrew Matole may not seek public recognition, his role as a supportive partner to one of Kenya’s leading news anchors continues to draw quiet admiration.
