Motlatsi Mafatshe and Gabisile Tshabalala have addressed rumours that they left their partners to be together.
The new celebrity couple, who have had tongues wagging on social media when sharing images of them spending quality time together, launched a “tell-all” YouTube channel in February to give their followers a glimpse into their lives together.
In a recent episode, the two thespians revealed they had been dating for nearly a year and rubbished claims they started seeing each other while they were married.
The two stars, who have both been married before, said they took time off after their divorces before exploring new love.
“I did not leave my ex-husband for Motlatsi, I left because the marriage wasn't working ... we tried, I gave my all, and I don't regret anything. Out of my marriage I've got two beautiful children who I love so much,” Gabisile said.
Motlatsi said though he made efforts to make his previous marriage work, he and his ex-wife amicably decided on a split.
The actor said he had found love in Gabisile and was in a happy relationship.
“In my case, it felt like a mutual thing. I think the love kind of ended. I remember we both went like, 'I'm not happy'.
“Now I'm very happy, she [Gabi] makes me happy.”
