Letoya Makhene is getting brutally honest about the emotional ripple effects her past relationships have had on her and her children, saying she still feels genuine regret about choices she made in her personal life.<\/p>\n
Since The Makhenes<\/em> premiered on Mzansi Magic in April, audiences have kept a close eye on the actress and musician\u2019s family story\u2014especially the conversations online that focus on her romantic past and the way she navigates motherhood.<\/p>\n In an interview with the channel, Makhene explained that the reality show was her own idea and that she viewed it as more than a chance to land on screen.<\/p>\n Speaking as a former Generations: The Legacy<\/em> actress, she said the program ultimately became a platform for her to regain control of her voice after she faced what she described as a harmful public smear campaign following her widely covered divorce from Lebo Keswa.<\/p>\n She added that while the show also offered a financial boost and helped her rebuild after her work was disrupted by that first wave of backlash, it served a bigger purpose: correcting the story people had been told about her.<\/p>\n \u201cBeyond it being a good financial opportunity and helping me get back on my feet after the first smear campaign against me shut down my work, it was also a chance to correct the narrative and allow people to decide for themselves, through my story, whether they want to love or hate me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Makhene\u2019s private life once again grabbed attention after reports circulated that she may be expecting another child. Around the same time, the father of the baby was briefly seen in the series\u2019 pilot episode.<\/p>\n While reflecting on her journey, she acknowledged that her romantic choices haven\u2019t always matched the stability and harmony she has worked hard to create in other areas of her life.<\/p>\n Between raising children, pursuing music, handling acting responsibilities, and managing family obligations, she says she\u2019s been forced to face difficult truths about herself and the consequences of her decisions.<\/p>\n \u201cI am most disappointed in myself when it comes to my choices in partners, and I have worked too hard to establish balance. I am currently on a journey of self-discovery,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n She also admitted that some of her personal decisions have caused pain for her children\u2014something she says continues to weigh heavily on her.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why it hurts so much knowing that some of my choices have affected them negatively,\u201d she stated, before adding, \u201cI\u2019ve had to, and continue to do the work to forgive myself for where I\u2019ve gone wrong. They are my world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Letoya Makhene is getting brutally honest about the emotional ripple effects her past relationships have had on her and her children, saying she still feels genuine regret about choices she made in her personal life.
