Comedian YY recently opened up about his past relationships with exes Marya Okoth and Noela Toywa, shedding light on his split with Noela. He revealed that he was expected to pay dowry to Noela’s family in March, but the relationship ended before that. For a long time, YY refrained from discussing the breakup, citing personal reasons and respect for privacy.
During an interview with Alex Mwakideu, YY explained that the reasons for ending the relationship were significant and would justify leaving even a decade-long partnership. “I don’t want to discuss anyone. I can only talk about myself. She knows why I left, and this before God. I have a reason. These reasons could even make you leave someone you have stayed with for 10 years, and I won’t say it,” he stated. YY emphasized that his decision was final and made with careful consideration.
The comedian added that fear of public opinion did not influence his decision. He revealed that he had forgiven Noela once for her actions but could not forgive a second time. “It ended when she was apologising for it. If I had a fear of what people were going to think, I would not have ended it,” he said. YY explained that the breakup related to values he holds and boundaries he could not compromise.
Social media users have called for Noela to share her side of the story, as many blamed YY for the split. A friend of Noela told blogger Njambi Fever that YY was controlling and stingy, rarely providing money for her upkeep. In response, YY revealed that one of the main reasons for the breakup was Noela’s drinking. She allegedly pretended to be a teetotaler but drank occasionally. During a critical reconciliation meeting after an argument, she reportedly showed up intoxicated, which YY could not tolerate.
The comedian’s revelations underline the importance he places on personal values and respect in a relationship. Despite public scrutiny, YY maintains that his decision was based on principles rather than perception. The interview has sparked discussions among fans about accountability, boundaries, and transparency in relationships.
