Hungani and Stephanie Ndlovu, one of South Africa’s most beloved celebrity couples, have officially announced their divorce after six years of marriage. The news has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and among fans who admired their relationship since their wedding in 2019.
Rumors circulated in 2023 alleging that Hungani had cheated and impregnated another woman, but both Hungani and Stephanie publicly laughed off these allegations and did not confirm them. They addressed the rumors lightly on social media and their YouTube channel, suggesting the claims were unfounded gossip.
The couple, known for their roles on the popular soapie Scandal!, shared an intimate garden wedding on February 23, 2019, and have a three-year-old daughter, Rhulani. Despite their public image as a strong and loving couple, they have reached a mutual decision to part ways, citing an “irreparable disintegration” of their marriage. The split was finalized with a settlement agreement signed on June 9, 2025, which addresses the division of assets, debts, and custody arrangements. Stephanie has agreed to transfer the jointly owned property to Hungani as part of the agreement.
Their journey together was often celebrated publicly, including the announcement of their first child in 2022. However, reports indicate that difficulties began surfacing around late 2024, with Hungani reportedly moving out of their matrimonial home. The reasons behind their separation remain private, but the couple has emphasized an amicable split.
Fans and commentators on social media have expressed a range of emotions—from heartbreak to thoughtful reflections on the evolving nature of marriage in today’s society. The Ndlovus’ split also mirrors a broader trend in South Africa, where divorce rates have been rising, particularly among couples married less than a decade.
Their split after six years of marriage was described as amicable, with a private settlement citing an “irreparable disintegration” of their relationship, but the specific reasons behind their breakup remain private and have not been publicly linked to infidelity.
