ACTOR LENANA KARIBA SHARES HOW HE MET HIS WIFE AND PLANS FOR SECOND WEDDING

Single Kiasi actor Lenana Kariba has opened up about his marriage for the first time. Speaking in an Interview with Buzz Central, Lenana shared how he met his wife, his plans for the second wedding in Kenya and marriage life.

“I met my wife here in Kenya, her circle of friends are the same as mine which is surprising. We met at one of my friend’s birthday party, I have known the guy for about seven and apparently so has she but we never met until that time. From the onset I knew this might be something because of how we clicked and it didn’t feel like I was chatting her up, we were just talking and the way we interacted it just worked.”

On why they decided to do a destination wedding Kariba said his wife Helen wanted a beach wedding, “After I proposed to her, we talked about the wedding and she told me she wanted a beach wedding. In fact she wanted to get married in Diani but there was a lockdown and we were in the UK, we got tired of waiting and just wanted to have that moment. When we looked up for where to do it because in the UK we couldn’t do it, a few places came up, Antigua was one of them and decided to go for a holiday and while we were there we decided to get married. We are going to have a second wedding here.”

Talking about marriage life, he said, “What has surprised me the most after getting married is that nothing has changed. After we announced the wedding we got a few comments from people saying, ‘why would he go and choose a white girl and we are here’ apart from that it has been fine. I think for the last 10 years it has become such a normal thing for people to marry outside their race.”
