“People talked. People said things. That’s what comes with having a job in the limelight,” Yvonne Okwara said in a past interview with a local outlet.
However, she emphasized that external opinions have never dictated her decisions, especially regarding such deeply personal matters.
”Ever. Because I’m such an intrinsic person, if there’s ever any pressure it would have to be from myself. Never from the outside world,” she said.
Yvonne Okwara and Andrew Matole got married in a low key strictly private white wedding in December 2014.
