Comedian Anne Kansiime has moved on from her divorce and is now dating media personality Skylanta.

It's been two years since Kansiime and her ex-husband Gerald Ojok divorced after five years of marriage.

Speaking to a Ugandan media personality, Nana Kaga, Kansiime reflected on her marriage, stating that she had rushed into it and that things didn't go as planned.

She also revealed that she had contributed to her own bride price, a decision she now regrets.

'I accused someone of marrying me long enough for the whole world to believe it and him to believe it and I also believed it,' Kansiime said. 'Later when I realized that when you are married, it is when a man wakes up on his two feet, pays your bride price, takes you to church and then marries you; none of that had happened.'

When asked about her decision to contribute to her own bride price, Kansiime said, 'You know when you love someone, all you want to do is make them able to pay for you, able to afford you as far as dowry is concerned.'
