Dineo Ranaka has always prided herself in being a private person, who largely keeps her life off social media. But since she actively returned online a few months back, she has been faced with one controversy after another, and now she has finally revealed the reason behind her divorce.
According to the media personality, her marriage ended because her husband was toxic. Sharing a word post on Instagram, she directly addressed the question of her broken marriage for the first time since it became public knowledge.
She said he would regularly manipulate her, and went as far as making it look like her reaction to disrespect was the problem, rather than the disrespect itself, and concluded that it was the reason she had to leave the relationship.

As she had been offline for a long time, many do not know when exactly Dineo and her husband separated. In fact, it all got revealed by accident that she was single again, as a video of her yelling at her lover was leaked and went viral.
In the video, she belittled the man, Sechaba Thole, and said that she only used him as a rebound to get over her divorce. She also asked him to admit that he had equally used her, albeit for his own reasons, possibly to boost his ego. She said there had never been any real thing going on between them, so he had no right to act all offended.
Dineo has since spoken about her relationship status. She divulged that she is single, even though she does not identify as a single mother. She said she is not raising her children on her own, as she is supported by her whole family, so even though she is single, she is not doing it alone. She has also made it very clear that she is single by choice, and people should not assume that it is because of some fundamental flaw.
However, it seems that the Valentine’s fever caught up with her too, as she shared a video talking about her plans. She said that nobody should dare to ask her what she is doing on the day as she is single. They should realise that she is single, and her future husband is probably off somewhere cheating on her with his future side chick. That’s a pretty interesting take, don’t you think?
Either way, it seems like Dineo is now in a happy place. And although things may get tough every so often, she seems to be taking it all in her stride, and we love to see it.
