Asavela Mqokiyana has been candid about her experiences navigating motherhood after her divorce.

During her sit down on Mommy Diaries with Pasi Koetle, the actress and model reflected on the “toughest” period of her life. 

“It’s hard navigating that alone because it wasn’t the plan. The plan was to be a two-parent household. I didn’t have that, so trying to build that for myself for my inner child, and now it’s stripped away. That for me was so hard having to go through my divorce with a six-month-old baby," she said.

“It was one of the hardest periods of my life, but she’s grown now. She’s a happy child. I think I’ve poured more than I can and she’s healed me as well. What has made it a bit easier is that we are fine with her father, we’re co-parenting beautifully.”

Asavela gave birth to her daughter in August 2023 after tying the knot with businessman Vuyiswa in April 2022.

But their happily ever after was cut short and they separated last September.

Asavela said regardless of her hardships, she still believes in love and believes she will get her family one day.
