Born Abdullahi Kasim, Mark prefers to keep his personal life away from the public as evidenced by the wedding, where only close relatives, friends and a few members of the press were invited. The big event took place at the Nairobi Chapel, along Ngong road. The two had dated for a while away from the prying eyes of the public before he finally proposed.

Mark joined the Nation Media Group’s (NTV) in 2008 while he was 22-years-old and made his first appearance as one of the youngest prime news TV anchors in Kenya.
