Is Kenya married or single? Husband or boyfriend?

Kenya is married to businessman and restaurant owner named Marc Daly. The couple secretly got married on June 10th ^, 2017 in a romantic beach setting in St. Lucia surrounded only by family and close friends. This marriage came after a secret relationship that lasted about a year. Some of her co-stars from The Real Housewives of Atlanta expressed surprise and disappointment at the clandestine nature of the relationship as well as not being invited to the eventual wedding. Still, it’s understandable that Kenya wanted to keep her new relationship a secret from the public considering the seriousness of her last relationship.

Prior to her marriage to Marc Daly, Kenya dated a much younger man named Matt Jordan. Her relationship with Matt was full of drama and violent outbursts from Matt, who accused Kenya of infidelity to some Nigerian billionaires. There was a lot of hype and publicity surrounding their relationship and things got so bad that Kenya had to seek a restraining order against Matt. In recent interviews, Kenya has described her relationship with Matt as toxic and has no regrets about breaking it off in 2015.
