Finding the one is never easy, and most people kiss many frogs before they meet their prince or princess. Some come to a point in time when they think they’ve met the one, only to fall into the temptation of upgrading their partners.

In this video, we look at 10 Mzansi celebrities who left their partners for famous or more affluent lovers. But before we proceed, we ask you to like our video, subscribe, and hit the notification bell.

Number one on our list is a story of two celebrities who left their respective partners for each other. Mutatu was married to fashion designer Mimi Spun, and Gabila was married to Sasha Mar Kolo.

Initially, the couple denied arranging their respective divorces to date each other but later agreed that they had divorced their partners and had found each other.

In a YouTube video on their joint YouTube channel, they continued to deny the allegations of divorcing their respective partners for each other but pointed out that their marriages were not working, which is why they divorced their partners.

The two have known each other for too long and probably worked together in the past or even dated. When it was time to choose a life partner, they went their separate ways only to reunite after 15 years.

Number two is the shocking divorce of DJ Fresh and his wife Tabo, accompanied by allegations of a fresh relationship with actress M and Nelson Yong. According to Zimo, while the two have never confirmed the speculation, social media users were convinced after spotting them cozying up together in public and attending events together.

The reasons behind DJ Fresh breaking up with his wife are still unknown, but he claims that he genuinely believed he wanted to be with her until forever. As for M, she claimed that she lost interest but carried on for a few years until she couldn’t do it anymore.

Number three is DJ Black Coffee and Victoria Gonzalez. Another DJ involved in a divorce is DJ Black Coffee, who separated from his ex-wife, Mbali. It’s possible that the DJ didn’t know what would transpire in his marriage, but he possibly believed he had found the one in Mbali until he started traveling the world a little more.

The DJ and actress Mbali married in 2011 and were blessed with two children, but in 2014, the DJ was slammed with cheating allegations that he had cheated on his wife with a Free State model.

He admitted to this claim, saying that he was still young and was overwhelmed with fame. After a series of cheating scandals, the DJ and Mbali decided to go their separate ways, and now he’s believed to be dating Victoria Gonzalez, another model from Venezuela.

They were spotted on different occasions together, and their photos together are all over the internet. While the romance is still new to some internet users, the couple was actually first publicly spotted together in a store at the Sandton City Mall.

Number four is Lebo M and Zo Tiani. South African composer and producer Lebo M was involved in so many relationships and marriages that were never successful. Without tracing all his failed relationships, we just want to focus on a point in his life where he decided to go for a famous person after divorcing his wife of ordinary social status.

In 2007, Lebo M divorced his second wife, Nandu, and in 2008, he got married to Angela Gcasara for five years before they went their separate ways. After that, Lebo M decided to find a wife in his league of famous people, so he got engaged to Generations actor Zo Tiani. But their relationship never went far; the engagement was called off for the two even to tie the knot.

Number five is Leu Pasha and TK Caesar. Leu Pasha is not a mainstream celebrity, but she is known for previously dating a soccer player and is now dating TK Caesar. We don’t know the most recent person she dated before igniting the love with the politician and music producer TK Caesar. She upgraded her love life for someone who is well-known, and she’s not letting go.

Number six is Andel Pani and Tamy Pani. Royal AM chairman Andel Pani, who dated and fathered a child with C, got engaged to Tamy Pani, a South African influencer and model. Even though C was famous like Tamy, she was older than Andel, so they eventually broke up, and Andel decided to go for someone his age.

He didn’t just choose someone his age but someone famous as well. There isn’t enough information on who Tamy dated before engaging to Andel, but it’s obvious she has her exes who were probably of low status, so getting married to Andel was an upgrade for someone significant and famous.

Number seven is Proverbs and Liesl Laurie. Rapper and businessman Proverb was once married to Onica for ten years, and their union was blessed with two children. Their decade-long marriage ended after Onica cheated on the famous rapper with businessman Edwin Sodi.

After their divorce, Proverbs saw no difference between an ordinary person and a famous person as a partner, so he started dating famous model Liesl Laurie.

The relationship, which inspired many, ended after three years in 2018. Despite that and the fact that Liesl is now married to Dr. Musa Mthombeni, most of Proverbs’ fans hope to see the two as an item.

Number eight is Boa Bosch and Lucinda Ngema. In September 2022, reports flooded the internet that power couples exchanged partners, referring to Boa Bosch, who divorced and ended up dating Lucinda Ngema, who had also divorced her husband.

Why did people assume that there was an exchange? Well, the Afrikaans musician Boa Bosch divorced his wife, Landy Durant, who ended up dating Lucinda’s ex-husband and filmmaker Steven Ngema.

Despite what their views of the situation are and whether they did it on purpose or not, the two couples literally exchanged partners. This was an astonishing situation of couples divorcing their respective partners to be together, and indeed we were left wondering.

Number nine is Anele B and DJ Black Coffee. Did you know that when Anele B began to date DJ Black Coffee, she was in a relationship with AKA? Yes, AKA was already a big name in Mzansi, but it was obviously not on an international level as compared to DJ Black Coffee.

Practically, actress Anele upgraded by choosing the most famous partner, which was Black Coffee, and left AKA. According to some sources, this is the reason why there was no good blood between Black Coffee and the late rapper AKA.

Number ten is Minnie and Young Chief. The last one on our list is the model and actress Minnie, who could not last for a decade with former American footballer Quinton Jones. She filed for divorce after she allegedly cheated on Quinton, and guess who she cheated with? She cheated with none other than the businessman Edwin Sodi, whom Proverbs’ wife cheated with as well.

So, after their divorce, Minnie did not go for an ordinary boyfriend or partner but began to date Young Chief, a rapper and musician. She is denying those claims, but she was spotted with him, and according to sources, she is denying the obvious.
