For years, Hungani and Stephanie Ndlovu were seen as one of South Africa’s golden couples — young, talented, and deeply in love.
From their dreamy wedding to their heartfelt YouTube videos, fans felt part of their journey.
But now, the couple has confirmed what many had been speculating for months: they’ve officially decided to go their separate ways.
Hungani and Stephanie Confirm Their Separation
Over the weekend, Hungani and Stephanie released a joint statement on Instagram, finally addressing the rumors.
The couple, who married in a private garden ceremony back in February 2019, announced that they are ending their marriage after five years together.
In 2022, their family grew when they welcomed their daughter, Rhulani, who just recently turned three.
And while their marriage may be over, they’ve made it clear that their roles as co-parents remain a top priority.
Speaking Up After an Unexpected Leak
The couple had hoped to share their news on their own terms, but after a media outlet prematurely revealed details about their split, they felt compelled to speak up.
“We’d like to take a moment to address the speculation surrounding our relationship,” their statement began.
“After much thought, reflection, and conversations, we have mutually decided to part ways and end our marriage.”
They added that although their romantic relationship is ending, their friendship is not.
“We are committed to showing up as a united team for our beautiful daughter, raising her with the same care, intention, and joy she has always known.”
Gratitude and a Request for Compassion
In their message, Hungani and Stephanie also thanked their supporters — especially those who’ve followed their journey through their YouTube series, The Ndlovus Uncut.
While this moment is incredibly personal and painful, they’ve asked for space and kindness from the public.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the love and support you’ve shown us… During this deeply personal time, we kindly ask for privacy, grace, and compassion for our family,” they wrote.
A Heartfelt Reflection From Hungani
Just last year, Hungani shared a deeply emotional tribute to Stephanie for their fourth wedding anniversary.
His words then now hit even harder in the wake of their split.
“I’m not perfect, I’m not a saint,” he admitted in the post.
“You know my flaws, my traumas… my most vulnerable moments in life.
I am growing, and my growing pains are real.”
Despite the difficulties, Hungani thanked Stephanie for standing by him for nearly seven years.
“I love you @miss_sandows and I hope we continue to mature in our love like fine wine,” he wrote.
Fans React to the Breakup
Naturally, the announcement has left fans feeling emotional.
Many had looked up to the Ndlovus as a symbol of black love and partnership — authentic, honest, and inspirational.
Now, supporters are processing the end of that chapter alongside them.
What’s Next for Hungani and Stephanie?
As of now, both stars are continuing their individual journeys, with a shared focus on raising Rhulani in a loving and stable environment.
Whether or not they return to public projects together like The Ndlovus Uncut remains to be seen.
For now, their message is clear: love doesn’t always end in bitterness, and sometimes, the most mature thing you can do is walk away — with grace.
