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.

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.
