At home, she’s no king - Cindy’s husband talks marriage, parenting

The King herself” is a title and that title doesn't come home with her” said Okuyo in a recent interview.

Whatever you see out there is a brand and people don’t seem to differentiate between a brand and a brand carrier. At our home, that brand carrier is my wife.”

Cinderella Sanyu, President of the Uganda Musicians Association, married Okuyo in December last year. In April this year, they welcomed their second child. At their home, Okuyo says they live with his two other children.

“They are all our children; they are Amani, Essie, Josiah and Lina. They sleep on the same deca-beds,” said Okuyo.

Speaking about the effect of the singer’s image on their marriage, he said this is nearly non-existent at home.

In the house she’s not even Cindy, she is Cinderella Sanyu Okuyo. That other brand stops at the gate. Even as I speak she’s at home with two children.”
