At the time of the announcement of her divorce, Minnie and Quinton shared a joint statement reportedly stating:
Announcing their divorce, Minnie said their marriage had been rocky in the past couple of months and they finally decided to consult with their families and a counsellor where they reached a decision to end the 4-year union.
She said this was a difficult decision to make but the "emotional burden and the post-traumatic distress of our individual loss outweighed our will."
"In the last 2 years our family has experienced incredible joy and devastating loss. During this time, we found comfort in knowing we had each other."
"Despite our better efforts to absorb the changes in motion, the emotional burden and the post-traumatic distress of our individual loss outweighed our will. After months of separation and consultations with our family and a counsellor, we have taken the decision to officially file for divorce, she continued.
Minnie leaves some confuse on her reason for divorce
Minnie Dlamini has been on the promotional trail for her current rom-com feature film debut The Honeymoon. Even ahead of the premiere of the film, Minnie had conducted an interview on 94.7 with Relebogile Mabotja. During the interview, Relebogile asked Minnie what was the real reason behind her divorce.
Unfortunately, while Relebogile’s question was direct, Minnie’s response to the question left many asking, “What?” This is as Minnie seemed to enjoy the scenic route to answering the question as she did not share exactly why the marriage had to end.
Instead, she blamed the end of her marriage on having married Mr. Jones at 26 years old, which she now thinks was too young of an age to marry. As such, it seems that Minnie was trying to explain that she got married when she did not know who she was, and marriage further complicated that journey for her.
But given how roundabout Minnie went to answer the question, when the podcast episode landed on social media. It is safe to say that tweeps and cyberbullies were dragging Minnie for filth as they suggested that her inability to directly answer a question could do with the allegations of Minnie’s promiscuity during her marriage, which she has denied in the past.
Completely agree. And what she said made sense. Many people are unhappy in their marriages because they weren’t authentic about who they were or what they wanted and once in the marriage they realise they can’t continue with the pretence.
