NTV anchors Dennis Okari and Olive Burrows became the subject of social media speculation in March 2019 after a video surfaced showing their apparent on-air chemistry. The clip, shared by Okari on Instagram, depicted the co-anchors engaging in playful banter during a broadcast.
Okari, who had recently returned from a honeymoon with his wife Naomi Joy, was seen interacting with Burrows in a manner that contradicted their public assertions of a strictly professional relationship. The video prompted widespread discussion, with many viewers questioning the nature of their connection.
The Kenyan Daily Post reported that the footage generated significant online reactions, particularly from audiences who noted the physical contrast between the two anchors. Comments on Okari's Instagram page speculated about potential romantic involvement, despite both parties maintaining their denials.
While neither Okari nor Burrows has acknowledged any romantic interest, the video reignited debates about workplace relationships in the media industry. The incident occurred on March 7, 2019, during a period when Okari was reengaging with his broadcasting duties after his marriage.
