Sonia Mbele has recently opened up about her love life after her divorce with her ex husband Leslie Sedibe.
While speaking to Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduk on Kaya 959, the actress dashed up on her relationship, parenting, business and so much more. The mother of four dashed out on her love life stating that she found love with an American.
Speaking to Zimoja, the Blood and water star shared more insight into her relationship with her American man saying:
“Yes, I am in a long-distance relationship. My man is based in New York. I have been burned and I prefer to keep my love life away from the brand Sonia. It’s taken me a few years to understand that I need to protect the things that are important to me. All I can say is that he loves me more than I love him, which is very important to me. I have been through my fair share of hurt and have protected my heart for the longest time. Now it’s time to let go. I have learned that it’s important to enjoy being loved and enjoy someone who appreciates me for who I am. He doesn’t know that back home, I’m called Ntombi and he doesn’t care about what I do for a living, he genuinely loves me for who I am. Love is a beautiful thing. I enjoy dating, having fun and having the small things in life. I am always traveling. I see him almost every month or every second month.Long-distance relationships can be tricky but we make it work. We have been doing great since 2019,” she told the publication.
She also spoke more on her pervious marriage with her ex husband while making her guest appearance on the Kaya 959.
The actress told Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduk that, she tried making her marriage work, however she felt uncomfortable that she was not able to watch the show Generations which was one of the “biggest shows in the country” as it made certain people feel uncomfortable.
“You know when something is not working and you still want to make it work in any way. I remember being on the biggest show in the country and not being able to watch it because it made people around me uncomfortable. It became deeper.”
Sonia got married to her ex husband in 2006 after dating for a couple of years but got divorced after 8 years of marriage in 2014.
The actress told Times Live the reason why her marriage ended. “I don’t know of anyone who willingly walks away from their marriage if they still want to make it work. But the truth is Leslie and I were two different people who wanted different things. Yes,
We loved each other… I became the person that he wanted me to be and lost myself in the process. she told the publication.
