Mary Biketi is confident, grounded, and unapologetic about her place in her partner\u2019s life\u2014declaring with certainty that no woman will come after her.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old joined Radio Jambo\u2019s<\/em> Masawe Japanni on Wednesday, April 9, to discuss a youth empowerment foundation she\u2019s launching in Kitale, with a strong focus on Gen Z and the unique challenges they face today.<\/p>\n During the candid interview, Biketi opened up for the first time about her relationship with former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya\u2014sharing how their paths crossed in what she calls a \u201cfateful encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe met at Wilson Airport while traveling to Kisumu. We were on the same flight. He sat next to me, introduced himself, and that was it\u2014the rest is history,\u201d she recalled warmly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Although she knew who he was at the time, she emphasized that their connection wasn\u2019t immediate.<\/p>\n When asked if it was love at first sight, she laughed and said, \u201cNext question, please.\u201d After some nudging, she admitted, \u201cNo… it came later.\u201d<\/p>\n Shared Passions and a Strong Bond<\/strong><\/p>\n Biketi revealed that the couple shares a love for Rhumba music and that she values the quality time they spend together. She praised Oparanya as a responsible father and partner, despite public perceptions.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a good man. People judge him, especially when it comes to women, but they don\u2019t know who he really is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n She was also happy to confirm that they are officially married.<\/p>\n \u201cHe acknowledged our relationship publicly. He\u2019s a polygamous man, and people will always talk\u2014but that\u2019s fine with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n On Being in a Polygamous Marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n When asked how she navigates a polygamous union, Biketi\u2019s response was calm and composed.<\/p>\n \u201cAs long as I\u2019m okay and have everything I need, I don\u2019t stress. He\u2019s free to go, but he always comes back to me. I focus on myself\u2014what else can I do? I\u2019m used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n However, she didn\u2019t hold back when speaking about women who try to cross boundaries:<\/p>\n \u201cI check his phone and block whoever needs to be blocked. We both have access to each other\u2019s phones. Some girls try\u2014sending photos, flirting. I just block them. Only current wives are allowed. After me? No one. He told me he\u2019s content with the women he has.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n She admitted she sometimes responds to messages just to see the intentions behind them.<\/p>\n \u201cThey want to seduce him, meet him\u2014but I don\u2019t care how beautiful or educated they are. Block.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Lessons from a Polygamous Setup<\/strong><\/p>\n When asked what she\u2019s learned, Biketi shared that mutual respect is key:<\/p>\n \u201cRespect the other wives, and respect the children. That\u2019s why, when our relationship became public, no one came out to complain\u2014I\u2019ve always been respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n On whether she\u2019d consider dating a younger man in the future, she firmly said, \u201cNo, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n A Private Love in a Public Life<\/strong><\/p>\n When pressed on whether she\u2019s officially married, she confirmed:<\/p>\n \u201cYes. He\u2019s visited my family. But I don\u2019t like discussing him too much\u2014there are others involved, and I respect their privacy. It\u2019s hard seeing myself trending for things I don\u2019t even talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Despite being part of a high-profile relationship, Mary Biketi has made one thing clear\u2014she\u2019s secure in her place, lives life on her terms, and sets strong boundaries around what (and who) she allows into her space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mary Biketi is confident, grounded, and unapologetic about her place in her partner\u2019s life\u2014declaring with certainty that no woman will come after her.
