Anerlisa Muigai has officially adopted her Tanzanian husband Ben Pol’s surname,.

She has now changed her official names to 'Anerlisa Muigai Mnyang'anga' as it appears on her official instagram page.

This comes months after their secret wedding held in Daresalaam.

In an interview with Tanzanian newspaper, Mwanaspoti revealed why the wedding was private.

"Our close friends and family knew about the wedding. Na hata baada ya kanisani tulijumuika nao kwa ajili ya chakula na vitu vingine. Sisi tunadhani ndoa ni kitu cha kifamilia ziadi." she said.

In the interview Arnelisa also refuted claims that they once had issues and broke up. The couple had been rumoured on various occasions to be having marital issues, with Anerlisa last year controversially deleting all of Ben pol’s pictures from her Instagram timeline.

Arnelisa charged "Haikuwa kweli, lakini hata hivyo sisi huwa hatuweki umakini kwenye maneno ya namna hiyo. Yakisemwa tunaacha yasemwe, hata hatusikilizi, hatujawahi kuachana wala kupeana likizo hata siku moja tangu tuanze mahusiano. Yale yalikuwa ni maneno ya kutengenezwa na watu wasiotujua vizuri wala mahusiano yetu."
