A week after Rachel and Siya Kolisi dropped their divorce bombshell, another celebrity couple – Schalk Bezuidenhout and his wife Mica Mckechnie have announced their marriage split.
The actor and comedian and the art director have parted ways after less than two years of marriage.
Schalk made the announcement in an Instagram Story.
SCHALK BEZUIDENHOUT ANNOUNCES SPLIT A WEEK AFTER KOLISIS DIVORCE DRAMA
On his Instagram Story, Schalk Bezuidenhout announced that he was in the process of divorcing his wife, Micha Mckechnie.
In his “announcement,” Schalk posted a list of “FAQs” he had recently been asked.
“Are you getting a divorce? Yes. Are you sad about it? Yes”, he shared.

On a more serious note, he added: “I love you all, especially those of you who come and support the live shows. You give me life. It’s obviously a difficult time, but I know you guys will be there for me. Thank you in advance.
“Shout out to my friends who have been so amazing and keeping my spirits up. And of course, my mom, who sends me motivational quotes every. Single. Day.”
PLANS TO DIVORCE
Like reports Rachel and Siya Kolisi, Schalk Bezuidenhout claims he knew “for a while” that he and his partner were going to divorce.
In an Instagram post, he revealed that he chose to break the news on his IG Stories after reading the “really mean” comments under posts from the Kolisis.
The comedian’s split from his wife comes less than two years after their wedding ceremony in 2022.
The couple said their ‘I Do’s” at a quirky ceremony at the Oyster Box in Durban.
Schalk wore a pink suit and wore matching wedding rings in the shape of a microphone.
The couple began dating in 2017. A year later, they got engaged. According to Schalk, it was love at first sight when he spotted the Art and Film Director.
He told TshisaLive: “Very early on in our relationship, I wanted to marry Mica…but I waited two years before I wanted to ask her because I knew she would be freaked out if I asked her after two months.

He added: “She is someone who understands what I do, someone who understands that being away from home is not because I want to gallivant but is part of my career, and she is super understanding and supportive of that.”
