Chameleone took to his social media page to express his gratitude and affection for his wife, saying:
'Happy 12 Years Marriage anniversary Mama Abba, So many memories still roll in my mind. And am thankful that I found a friend who gave me her whole and together we made a beautiful family. Love you all. It’s all wishes for now but at least the reality we did. See you when lockdown is done. Happy anniversary my bestie Thanks for being a strong Mother and a wonderful Wife. Yours Joseph.'
The couple's love story began in 2003 when Daniella met Jose at Alligators bar in Garden City, Kampala. Despite the challenges they faced, including societal stigma and drug abuse, they chose to stick together and build a life.
Today, they have five beautiful children: Abba Marcus Mayanja, Alfa Joseph Mayanja, Alba Shyne Mayanja, Amma Christian Mayanja, and Xara Amani Mayanja. As Jose Chameleone plans to venture into politics in 2021, the family has relocated to the USA.
