Lawyer Steve Ogolla Breaks Silence on Marriage to Cebbie Koks Amidst New Romance Rumors [PHOTOS]

Steve Ogolla, a prominent city lawyer, has finally addressed public speculation regarding the termination of his marriage to Cebbie Koks, the sister of singer Akothee. His announcement follows the release of a recent viral photo, which reignited public speculation about their split.

The rumors resurfaced after a photo appeared online of Ogolla attending a Law Society of Kenya (LSK) event with a woman identified as Ivy Bavolyne. The sighting prompted many to doubt the status of his marriage to Cebbie, which terminated just months after their extravagant traditional wedding.

Addressing the matter for the first time, Ogolla chose a dignified approach over sensationalism. In a brief online statement, he acknowledged the renewed public interest but firmly dismissed the rumors. “I have seen renewed interest, rumors and gossip around my marriage,” he wrote, adding that as a “rational thinker,” he is not permitted to comment substantively on the fate of his marriage, citing “the rules of decency and common courtesy.” His words signaled that the marriage ended respectfully and without scandal.

For her part, Cebbie has also been pressed on the topic in past interviews. In early 2024, she criticized the public’s focus on her personal life, questioning why her name changes or photo deletions mattered to others. She also reflected on her short-lived marriage, calling it a cherished event and admitting that it was still too early to call Ogolla her “friend” in the aftermath of their separation.

Both Ogolla and Cebbie’s statements, while separate, signal a desire to move on from the public scrutiny of their brief union. Despite their high-profile status, both appear to be handling the matter with a level of privacy and mutual respect.
