Hungani and Stephanie are divorced
Popular South African actors Hungani and Stephanie Ndlovu have reportedly ended their six-year marriage.
The couple, once hailed as one of Mzansi’s most admired love stories, reportedly parted ways amicably after reaching a private settlement.
The news, first reported by News24, confirms that their relationship had broken down beyond repair.
While they’ve kept specific reasons out of the public eye, their decision mirrors a growing trend among long-term couples navigating changing social dynamics.
A 2023 study by the Human Sciences Research Council highlighted a 40% spike in divorces among couples married for five years or more, with many citing modern-day pressures and shifting expectations.
Hungani and Stephanie, who famously met on the set of the hit soapie Scandal!, tied the knot in a private garden ceremony on February 23, 2019.
They often shared moments from their marriage with their followers, and their chemistry both on and off screen made them one of the industry’s favorite couples.
Although the reasons for their split remain private, the announcement has sparked conversations around the impact of fame on relationships and how public image often masks personal challenges.
Despite the end of their union, both have expressed mutual respect and seem determined to move forward without drama.
