Just days after confirming her breakup with comedian Oliver Otieno, popularly known as YY, businesswoman Noela Toywa has revealed her plans to seek therapy.
In November 2024, YY introduced Noela to the public, months after ending his relationship with Marya Okoth. To announce their relationship, YY treated Noela to a luxurious chopper ride followed by a lunch date, capturing the attention of fans.
When asked about starting a new relationship so soon after his breakup with Marya, YY defended his decision.
“I am a family person. I would love to build a family for myself,” he said. He went on to advise men against taking long breaks after relationships, noting, “Ukijipea break ata miezi sita, hutawai move on na hutawai taka mambo ya wanawake.”
YY also hinted at possible wedding plans with Noela, saying, “We leave that to God, but we pray it’s as soon as possible.”
The break-up
However, despite the promising start, things took a different turn months later. After weeks of speculation about trouble in their relationship, YY confirmed that he and Noela were no longer together.
Fans first suspected issues in the relationship when YY failed to celebrate Noela’s birthday in December. This raised eyebrows among his followers, who had grown accustomed to the public display of their love.
“Tuliachana. Watu huwachana, si ni life.” While he chose not to elaborate on the reasons behind their split, the revelation came as a surprise to many, given the public manner in which their relationship had been introduced.
Noela on therapy
On January 6, Noela interacted with her followers on Instagram through an anonymous Q&A session.
While most of the messages revolved around her relationship with YY, she refrained from addressing the questions directly.
One fan inquired whether she had started therapy, and Noela shared that a friend had referred her to a therapist but she had not yet begun sessions. The revelation hints at her intent to focus on her healing and well-being after the breakup.
Personal insights into Noela Toywa
Noela also revealed some personal details during the Instagram session. She disclosed that she studied media, specialising in Communications and Public Relations, and is currently in her late 20s.
In addition, Noela assured her followers that they would get to know more about her in her upcoming podcast, The We Crew Podcast. This project promises to provide a platform for her to share more insights into her life and experiences.
