In a ceremony that captivated both his longtime fans and the wider Teso community, Simon Okello—the dynamic entertainer formerly known to thousands as "Selector PS"—exchanged vows with his partner, Stella Mbabazi, on Saturday.
The wedding, held at the Streams of Life Church in Mengo, was more than just a union of two hearts; it served as a powerful public milestone in Okello’s profound personal transformation. The man who was once the heartbeat of the region’s nightlife has officially traded the turntable for the Bible, dedicating his life to his Christian faith.
For years, Okello was a household name in Eastern Uganda. As a flagship DJ at the famed Club Trends and a familiar voice on Voice of Teso radio, his signature mixes provided the soundtrack to countless nights. However, on Saturday, the man who once commanded crowded dancefloors stood solemnly at the altar, focused entirely on a new covenant with his bride and his Creator.
The ceremony was described by attendees as an intimate and graceful affair. Surrounded by close family, friends, and members of his congregation, the atmosphere was one of deep spiritual significance.
“This isn’t just a wedding; it’s a testimony,” remarked one guest close to the couple. “To see Simon so at peace, embracing this new chapter with Stella by his side, is truly inspiring. It shows that it is never too late to find a new path.”
Okello’s journey toward this moment began several years ago. In January 2020, at the height of his entertainment career, he stunned the industry by announcing his retirement from deejaying to entirely give his life to Christ. Since then, he has navigated a quiet but steady transition away from the secular spotlight.
News of the wedding has sent ripples through his former fanbase, stirring a mix of nostalgia for his "Selector PS" days and overwhelming support for his spiritual devotion. Many in the Teso community have taken to social media to congratulate the couple, praising Okello for his courage in pursuing a life of ministry and family.
As the couple begins their new life together, the celebration stands as a reminder of the power of change. For Simon Okello, while the music of the nightclubs has faded, a new, more personal song of faith and family has clearly just begun.
