5 Celebrities who have kids together

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.

Below we look at five celebrity couples who share children but are no longer together.

Thandiswa Mazwai and Stoan Seate

The two musicians, who dated during their time as Bongo Maffin band members, gave birth to a baby girl named Malaika. Malaika, soon to be 24 years old, recently graduated from AFDA, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Motion Picture Medium. The two separated many years ago and are currently married to other people.
