If you thought 2019 was a rough year for relationships, 2020 is also one big disappointment in the love department. Here is a list of the biggest break ups of 2020 so far that left us shook.
Dj Zinhle and AKA
By far one of the biggest splits came from DJ Zinhle and AKA who split up at the beginning of the year but we only found out about it after AKA called himself a single man in an interview on Metro FM. Despite social media humiliating and trolling Zinhle, she has said that her relationship with Kiernan is good and that they are just 'one big happy family.'
Mona Monyane and Khulu Skenjana
The Skenjanas also rocked fans when they announced their separation in March 2020 after four years of marriage. Mona took to Twitter to share the bad news. "My husband and I have parted ways. I know this will come as a shock to many and I ask that you continue to believe in love and family. The battles we have met have been difficult to overcome together and I ask that you respect us by not sensationalizing our separation."
Kay Sibiya and Judie Kama
After welcoming a beautiful baby boy late last year, the two seemed to be picture perfect that's why it as a huge shock when Kay revealed that they had broken up.
"Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey and thank you for your support. After much thought and consideration Judie and I have decided to separate on amicable terms. I have much respect for her and I will always hold her in high esteem and regard." read the parting message.
Lootlove and Reason
Parents to twin baby girls, the two had been rumoured to be living apart for the last few months. After being harassed by a publication about the rumours, Lootlove decided to come clean. Her press release said in part: "Sizwe and I have separated but we continue to partner gracefully in raising our beautiful kids. I think anyone going through something this complex and painful would understand why l wouldn't want anyone to have a front row seat to my grieving but with that being said... Sizwe and I remain friends"
Lerato Kganyago and Thami Ndlela
In what was one of Mzansi's shortest marriages LKG announced her split from her ex husband Thami after less than two months of marriage. Her social media statement was short and revealed nothing sinister about the split. “It is with sadness that we announce that Thami and I have decided to go our separate ways. We have come to realize that our different priorities and workloads have not afforded us the time to invest in our relationship. We will continue to care deeply for each other, and look forward to growing our friendship,"
Zodwa Wabantu and Vusi Buthelezi
The entertainer broke up with her latest Ben 10 Vusi during lockdown. On the reason for the breakup she said “Things were not working out, he left but I’ve learnt that you must allow people to leave. You accept things as they come and as they are and allow people to be themselves.”
Lebo M and Mel
Mel confirmed the split to Sunday World and said that she is "so over it" and the wedding had been called off. "Relationships are relationships guys, they die, sometimes they work out, sometimes they don’t. I mean really, there is really nothing I can say. He was a good person, he was a good partner, he was an amazing partner but we had to be where we are today and I’m so… I’m happy for him. “We were both tired of each other. You know relationships, we decided that you know what, this is not good for us. This not for us.”
We wonder what the last half of 2020 has in store for our fave celeb couples.
