WILLIS RABURU’s ex-wife, MARYA PRUDE, opens up about their messy divorce and regrets marrying at 23 - “I would be so far right now”



Thursday, September 4, 2025 - Marya Prude, the former wife of media personality Willis Raburu, has opened up about their messy divorce.

In a candid interview on The Wind Down, Marya opened up about the emotional toll of her highly publicized divorce and the healing journey that followed.

“When we got separated, I moved in with my folks. I felt like my whole world was crashing,” she shared.

Her father personally came to collect her from her matrimonial home, a moment she described as “very dramatic.”

The fitness enthusiast revealed that the divorce drained her emotionally and financially.

She stayed with her parents for over a year and a half, unable to afford her own place as the legal process dragged on.

Interestingly, she disclosed that the formal divorce papers were delivered via WhatsApp.

“I knew it was coming… I respected the decision and told my ex that communication would now go through my lawyer,” she said.

Looking back, Marya regrets marrying at just 23, admitting that she was driven by societal expectations.

“I don’t know what I was thinking! I would be so far right now if I wasn’t busy serving society and other people’s expectations,” she confessed, adding that she now sees marriage as “overrated.”

Marya and Raburu tied the knot in 2017, but their union faced tragedy with the loss of their daughter in 2019.

They separated in 2020, with Raburu later admitting he initiated the divorce.

While Mary has since kept her love life under wraps, Raburu has moved on with Ivy Namu and they are blessed with two children.
