Kenyan singer Bahati and his wife, Diana Marua, have thrilled fans by confirming that their highly anticipated wedding will take place in October. The announcement comes after the couple recently marked their eighth anniversary at an upscale Nairobi restaurant, where Diana shared her desire for an extravagant wedding to celebrate their love with friends and family.
Bahati described the wedding as a series of ceremonies spanning ten days. “It is not a ceremony—there are ceremonies, and they will last for 10 days. I told Juma Jux I took notes, but I want to teach him something,” he revealed. He also advised guests to prepare for multiple outfit changes, joking that attendees may need around 20 outfits.
The celebrations are expected to feature high-profile guests from across Africa’s entertainment and political circles. When asked about Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz, Bahati confirmed he would attend. “I also want him to learn a few things because I am marrying before him. It will have the who’s who of Africa’s entertainment scene and politics,” he said.
Diana Marua admitted that planning the wedding has been both overwhelming and exciting. “For me, it is unreal—I pinch myself every day. The thought of planning this is overwhelming and exciting,” she said. While she did not share full details, she promised a “never-before-seen wedding,” keeping fans intrigued about what to expect.
Kenyans have reacted enthusiastically to the announcement, congratulating the couple and expressing curiosity about the ten-day celebration. Comments on social media ranged from excitement about the food to admiration for Bahati and Diana’s journey together.
In other news, Bahati has continued his philanthropic and mentorship efforts. He recently helped rapper Maddox, formerly of Boondocks Gang, who has faced personal and professional challenges. Bahati visited Maddox’s neighborhood, provided meals, and shopped for household essentials, including maize flour, sugar, and rice. He encouraged Maddox to reduce alcohol intake and offered studio support to help revive his music career.
The upcoming wedding promises to be one of the most talked-about events in Kenya, combining entertainment, high-profile guests, and a celebration of Bahati and Diana’s love story. Fans are eagerly awaiting what is expected to be a lavish and memorable ten-day affair.
