Most likely, the death of her father was still raw in her mind. The good thing is that fans and the media respected her emotions and afforded her the space that she needed.

Mihlali got a tattoo to commemorate her father’s memory. The tattoo is a semi-colon, a symbol for all those impacted by suicide. She got this inked at the back of her ear. 

She told fans that she was sharing this because she wants to give strength and solidarity to those who have experienced something similar. 

Mihlali Ndamase’s mother is a fashion designer and both are understandably close to one another. 

Mihlali's Relationships 

Mihlali Ndamase’s Boyfriend

In recent times, Mihlali Ndamase has been selective with what she reveals about her love life. However, her recent posts may be hinting at a newly found love. 

The YouTuber is allegedly dating a businessman named Kamo Phasha. The two are said to have gotten together in 2020 but nothing has been confirmed. 

Previously, Mihlali Ndamase was rumoured to be dating one of the DJs of Major League, Banele Mbere. 

When they were together, Banele Mbere claimed in an interview with Press Reader that he gave his supposed girlfriend a promising ring.

Mihlali Ndamase was also linked to world-famous formula one driver Lewis Hamilton. These rumours started after she attended the Singapore Grand Prix in 2019.

Hamilton was part of this race. In one of Mihlali’s Instagram stories, Lewis was in a store, and she had captioned it with, “You did the best you could, babe, super proud of you. A winner in my eyes.” She ended the message with a ‘smiley with heart’ eyes. What else do you expect fans to think?

During her latest appearance on Lasizwe's Drink Or Tell The Truth show, the influencer also set the record straight on the rumours of her being a homewrecker. 

Here's what she said: "Last time I checked, men are human beings, who are grown, who can make their own decisions. He is not a sack of potatoes, I have never stolen a man. I don't know how to steal. That's my answer."

Her aim was to achieve a fuller lip so that she won’t have to rely on a lip liner. It wasn’t because she felt insecure about her appearance.

In another controversy, Mihlali caused an uproar with a Twitter post in which she said that men didn't deserve an ounce of loyalty and was accused of misleading women.

Earlier in 2020, Mihlali found herself in hot water after she posted a tweet outrightly supporting relationships between teenage girls and older men.
