Known for her heavily tattooed body and her over-the-top lavish lifestyle, Jojo Robinson is one of the cast members of the popular reality show- The Real Housewives of Durban. 

Jojo recently hit back at critics who claimed that she is just a “housewife who uses her rich husband’s money” by reminding them that being a housewife, a mother and a homemaker are equally as important as what the man does as a breadwinner, and we think that it just had to be said. 

This article discusses everything there is to know about Jojo Robinson’s husband, their lavish lifestyle that many can only dream about, and a look at Jojo’s ex-husband.

The couple lives in a beautiful multi-million rand mansion that sits on a sprawling piece of land in the suburbs of Durban.

It also has a large living space fitted with custom-made furniture. The rooms have many large glass windows and doors that provide natural lighting to the house.

In addition to the beautiful modern indoor features, the outside of the Roberts’ home is equally elegant. The compound has a sparkling infinity pool, a spacious backyard and a beautiful garden.

Before her current marriage, Jojo had been married before but the name and details of her ex-husband have not been disclosed.

During an episode of The Real Housewives of Durban, Jojo revealed that she had once been a victim of domestic physical abuse during her previous marriage.

She narrated how one day her ex-husband called her and told her that he would be taking her out. Excited, Jojo spent around two hours getting ready because she explained “they never went out.”

After spending so much time getting ready, when Jojo Robinson’s ex-husband came home, he revealed that they were really not going anywhere and that he had told her that just to make her look like an idiot.

The couple got into a heated argument that dragged into the wee hours of the night. 

"He had a knife behind his back and we had a really big fight. He didn't do anything with the knife, he just threw it down," she said.

Following the altercation, Jojo revealed that she took about 50 pills and alcohol, the effects of the overdose kicked in and her heart began racing wildly but instead of helping her, she said that her ex-husband dragged and kicked her before eventually calling her sister who took her to hospital where she was placed under ICU.
