When asked about his current relationship status, Daddy Owen replied he is not dating anyone at the moment.
The popular gospel singer, last year told a local blog that he has been under pressure to get married again.
He said even his mother and friends are worried about him living alone and visiting the family all by himself.
“She (my mother) tells me to hire someone just to stop walking alone at home. She is worried that I live alone, I walk alone,” he said.
However, Daddy Owen is hesitant about jumping into another marriage too quickly.

Despite his negative experience with his marriage, Daddy Owen has remained committed to helping others.
He spoke passionately about Kijabe Hospital facility that he had helped to fund, using money donated by the Safaricom foundation.
“I helped the facility. It was during my birthday, and I looked for funding and built the wards. It was Sh25 million and Sylvia Mulinge gave us money from the Safaricom foundation.”
