As with international celebrities, some mzansi celebs have dated in the past, and ended up married, while others parted ways. On the other hand, some celebrity couples had kids before separating.
Just as parts of their lives are lived in the public eye, some of those breakups were public too, leading to the exposal of private information such as salaries or the identity of their offspring.
