In an unexpected turn of events, South African reality TV star Khanyi Mbau has confirmed that she has reunited with her long-time partner, businessman Kudzai Mushonga, just days after announcing their breakup.
The Young, Famous & African star had previously taken to Instagram to share her emotional decision to end their turbulent five-year relationship. However, in a surprising update, she revealed that Mushonga reached out to her, leading to their reconciliation.
The couple’s relationship has been anything but predictable since they made it public in 2021. Over the years, they have faced several challenges, including a highly publicized incident in 2021 when Mbau left Mushonga in Dubai, sparking speculation about their status.
Despite the ups and downs, their deep connection has remained evident through grand romantic gestures, including tattoos of each other’s names and affectionate social media posts.
Taking to Instagram, Mbau shared a heartfelt post detailing how Mushonga insisted they address their past issues.
“He called, demanded I address the bad things he did, he asked to attend the funeral that made me mourn … I cried … He listened … Now I am in the car he sent, headed home,” she wrote, alongside a picture of herself in a car.
Acknowledging the rollercoaster nature of their relationship, she added humorously, “Don’t ask!! 🫣 He didn’t entertain my rubbish. We are adults!!! (listen don’t judge). Besides, where would I go with a thigh laminated in bold with his name? 😪”
