Kanze Dena's family life
Kanze Dena has built a beautiful family life. On March 2nd, 2019, she married Nick Mararo, the CEO of Nuvision Media, in a private ceremony at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia County.
A year after their wedding, they were blessed with a son, Njamba. However, Kanze is also a mother to an older son, Amani, from a previous relationship.
Amani turned 18 years old in April 2024, and Kanze has been successfully co-parenting with his father.
Kanze Dena is open about the challenges and joys of parenting. She acknowledged in a previous interview that raising boys comes with its unique difficulties, especially when it comes to Amani, who sometimes hides things from her.
However, she is grateful for the support and presence of Amani’s father, who has played a crucial role in co-parenting.
"Parenting boys has also not been easy, especially for Amani. Thankfully, Amani's father has always been present and has come in handy in co-parenting," she shared.
Kanze strives to build a strong relationship with both of her sons, based on understanding and open communication.

She describes her relationship with her elder son as one of friendship, and she is working to establish the same bond with her four-year-old son, Njamba.
"Me and my son Nathaniel are friends. It’s also the same relationship I am trying to have with my four-year-old," she said.
Kanze’s approach to parenting is direct and clear, which contrasts with the way she was raised.
She believes in explaining her decisions to her children, ensuring there are no grey areas in their understanding of her expectations.
"Knowing that I was parented by my mother this way and this is what pushed me away or what made me rebellious, I am trying to do it differently with my son. I listen and I say a categorical no. And I explain why. There are no grey areas," she explained.
