In an interview with The King’s Cast, presented by Sphectacula and DJ Naves, the BBTitans presenter discussed his romantic relationships and denied rumors that he was married.

He said people assume that he’s dating Zenokuhle because they constantly see them together but they are actually cousins.

“We got really close. She’s a good person and we hung out, and then we found out that we are family. That’s where it developed. We would spend a lot of time together off-screen. She’s a social media person and every time we hung out she would post. So everyone assumed me and Zeno are a couple. She’s like my baby sister.”

The award-winning actor and TV host reveals he just came out of a relationship and adds: ”Let me put it this way, I should be married. I’m that guy, I’m a family-orientated guy.”

Lawrence who played Zolani Dlamini in 1Magic’s Telenovela, The River, left the show in its fifth season. His departure left many fans heartbroken, and he penned a heartwarming letter to them.

“To the fans, those who gave me the confidence to stick with it, those who encouraged my perfect blend of self-delusion and ego to think I can succeed where others have failed, those who vote, like, retweet, and pray for me, I thank you. With this character many of you saw people you know, loved ones, siblings and friends, and fond and painful memories; you celebrate me because I am of you! I love you all! #AnEraEndsZolani,” he wrote.
