Who is the father of Daniella Atim?

Daniella Atim was raised by John Scalabrini, the late father who was her foster dad. However, because she so loves him she prefers to call him father. On 4 October 2016 Fr Scalabrini died and was buried at St James Catholic Church, Biina.

What is Daniella Atim’s Instagram?

Yes. Daniella Atim’s official Instagram handle is @daniellatim. The mother of 5 is very active on Instagram and often shares behind the scenes photos of her family, on tour and photoshoots.

Chameleon’s father hated Daniella

While speaking to The Standard Media in Kenya, Jose said his dad did not want him to marry Daniella Atim because she was from Acholi. “He wanted me to marry from Buganda. I stood my ground and told my dad that she is the one for me and that was my choice,” Chameleone said.

Daniella survived to go to prison in 2012

Daniella was arraigned and accused in 2012 of fighting in public with the Dembe FM Radio presenter, journalist Isaac Katende.

Daniella appeared before the Chief Judicial Officer of Makindye and denied the charge of affray. The Grade One magistrate Flavia Nabakooza Kalungi granted her a cash bond of Shs2 million.

Each of her two guarantees had to carry out a UGX 10 million non-cash bonds. Among the guarantees were Kim Kibirige, an artist with Leone Island and Sam Mukasa, Leone Island Manager, a music company owned by Joseph Mayanja, her husband and artist.

Daniella Atim filed for divorce again

Daniella submitted a divorce in 2018. She accused her five children’s dad of being a drunkard, a cruel man who attacked her and the children physically.

She wanted the court to annul her 10-year-old marriage, but then she retired the case and decided that the matter should be resolved outside the court.

The couple has reconciled today and live as a husband and wife once more together. Daniella moved to the United States to live with children who are pursuing their studies in the US.

But this week, Chameleone’s 17-year marriage is now before Uganda’s High Court, with his wife Daniella Atim demanding custody of their children and ownership of the family home — claims the singer disputes.
