Kenyan actress Sarah Hassan and Martin Dale have long been admired for their private and drama-free union.
News of their rumored divorce surprised many, given the couple’s well-guarded personal life.
Here’s a look back at their love story and what we know so far about their journey.
Sarah Hassan and Martin Dale First Meeting
Sarah Hassan fondly recalled the magical moment Martin Dale surprise-proposed.
They had planned to attend an event, but before heading out, Martin suggested they stop for a bottle of wine at a restaurant in their apartment complex.
When they arrived, the table was beautifully decorated with roses and candlelight, which Sarah assumed was set up for another couple.
Martin played along, pretending to ask the waiter if they could sit there. As they sipped their wine, she noticed a small box on the table but didn’t think much of it, as it was labeled in Spanish.
Then, in his usual romantic style, Martin dropped to one knee and proposed.
“I didn’t see it coming,” Sarah admitted, smiling as she recounted how their friends later joined to celebrate the unforgettable moment.
Their Private Wedding
On February 25, 2017, the couple tied the knot in a lavish yet intimate wedding held at Karura Forest. Their wedding was a beautiful, intimate celebration, away from the public eye, attended only by close friends and family.
Parenthood: Welcoming Baby Dale
In 2019, Sarah and Martin welcomed their first child, affectionately known as Baby Dale.
Announcing her pregnancy, Sarah wrote, “Baby Dale on the way. We’re so grateful for the little bundle of joy growing inside me.”
Relocating Abroad and Supporting Each Other
When Sarah moved to Los Angeles in January 2016 to further her studies in filmmaking at a New York School, Martin Dale was by her side to support her.
The mother of one often shared fun and happy moments from her classes, escapades, and dinner dates with her man, her man, her man.
The couple eventually returned to Kenya two-and-a-half years later, where Sarah continues to thrive in her acting and filmmaking career.

According to sources, Sarah and Martin have been living apart for some time.
The exact reasons for their separation are unknown, but those close to them say they are handling it respectfully. Sarah and Martin have stayed silent on the rumors, continuing to keep their private life just that—private.
