“In the last few days, my husband and I have had an in-depth discussion about our marriage and our young family challenges. On Sunday, we met my in-laws and informed them of our mutual decision for us to amicably file for divorce.
“My son and I have moved out of our marriage home to return home to Mpumalanga,” read the statement in part.In January 2023, Khaya – who won Idols SA season eight – had a sit-down on the Wisdom & Wellness podcast with Mpoomy Ledwaba. During the interview, the musician admitted that the divorce was difficult for him and what made it even harder was that it took place during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I really struggled, I’m not going to lie. That has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through and I never want to go through it again … I cannot believe I came out of that hole. And when I went through it, it was during the period of lockdown. We broke up, then we went into lockdown. I was alone in my house for eight months … Thank God I didn’t have to go to church because I would have collapsed,” he said.
“It was a period for me to unlearn and it was a huge awakening to the man I was and a huge awakening to who I wanted to be. I was on antidepressants and I was sleeping my life away.”
