Presenter Kerry Martin

Homeboyz presenter Kerry Martin secretly married his lover (now an ex) when he was 21 years old.

Kerry did not involve his or her parents while saying 'I do'.

Speaking to Word Is, Kerry, who later divorced, said he holds their photos but hopes at some point to delete them.

He said he ended the marriage as life 'happened'.

Asked if it was due to infidelity, Kerry said it was not even about cheating.

He added that he has no regrets whatsoever about getting married young.

"Do I think I rushed into it? I think I don't regret it," he said.

"I think 'rushed' is not the word. It's more of coz there are people you find are married for 30 years and decided to get to know each other for two months so you never know when it's time."

Asked if he believes in marriage, Kelly said he doesn't believe in getting married.

"Other people's marriages, that's them to believe in. It's tough to say never about marriage," he said.

"I don't know what the future holds but right now, I don't think I'm getting married. I learnt it's good to get to know somebody before you take that step. It's a big step.

"I want to do life by myself. Not till death do us part."

Asked if he was dumped, Kerry said no.

"One thing about me, I don't kiss and tell past, present and future," he said.

Is he going to be celibate?

"Nah, that has got nothing to do with celibacy. Ukienda kwa field kucheza ball, you can either choose ucheze bila viatu you stab your toe ama uvae viatu so you play safe."

In a past interview, Kerry said he slept with his former girlfriend's friends out of vengeance after he busted her cheating.

"I've never said this anywhere; when I found out she cheated, I kulad (slept with) her friends. And I think now she knows."

He said a friend of his ex told him she had been cheating on him with other guys.

After Kerry asked her about it, she claimed he was being insecure and overreacting.
