3. Daniella Atim Mayanja
There is no way you can be the wife of arguably Uganda’s finest artist and you fail to make this list. Daniella Atim wife to Joseph Mayanja comfortably clinches our number 3 sport.
Daniella met the budding singer in 2003 at a popular hangout spot and she says she was unfazed by the celebrity status acorded to the singer. She says that the “Valu Valu” singer approached her and requested her number which she denied giving him since she saw him as a dreaded hooligan.
She later gave in to Mayanja’s pleas and the rest is history. They tied the knot in 2008 in a glamorous wedding and share 5 children now.

2. Zuena Kirema
Another woman that would never miss being on this list is none other than wife to Bigsize Bebe Cool, Zuena Kirema. Besides being wife to undeniably one of Uganda’s best musicians of all time, Zuena has carved a personality for herself in the socialite world.

This pair is absolutely one of the most loved and celebrated couples in the entertainment industry. The “Wire wire” singer has never been shy to show his affection publicly for his wife and penned her a beautiful tribute during their 19 year anniversary describing her as a patient, hardworking, loving and caring woman who never replaced him despite the hurdles he faced as a man.
This was evident as Bebe pleaded with his wife to come back to him after she had dumped him in 2009 and he released a number of songs citing how his world had come crushing down ever since she left.
Zuena has been able to stick by Bebe despite the hate that is thrown at her man especially owing to his political beliefs.
1.Barbra Itungo Kyagulanyi
The number one spot would feel cheated itself if anybody other than Barbra Itungo had occupied it. She’s every broke young man’s dream since she can transform a hopeless man to something unbelievably amazing.
Her transformation of Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu is a living testimony to which he himself testifies too. When one looks at Bobi Wine’s earlier pics and videos, it would really be hard to believe that at one point in his life he would be one of the most feared men politically by the government.
Barbie met Bobi in the early 2000’s and describes their early years as some of the toughest to an extent that they reached a point of having no money for lunch to footing from Kanyanya to Kamwokya.
Her influence goes beyond transforming her family to transforming communities through her different initiatives especially targeting the girl child.
Barbie who has been instrumental in Bobi Wine’s musical and political careers that need no introduction got officially married with the singer in 2011 and the two share four kids together.
