In a sh0cking turn of events, Kgaogelo Monana and Sabelo Ernest Radebe, both stars of the popular South African series Smoke and Mirrors, have ended their marriage following an on-screen k!ss.
The couple, who portrayed Petunia and Magolide on the show, had been married for years in real life, but their relationship hit a rough patch after a recent storyline.
The incident that sparked the breakup occurred when Petunia, played by Kgaogelo Monana, shared an on-screen k!ss with the character Sakhile.
While it was just a scripted moment in the drama, it did not sit well with Sabelo Ernest Radebe, who played her on-screen, Magolide. The k!ss reportedly caused significant tension between the couple, leading Sabelo to make the difficult decision to end their marriage.
Fans of the show and the couple were taken aback by the news, as Kgaogelo and Sabelo had been admired for their long-lasting marriage off the screen.
However, it appears that the pressures of their roles and the em0tional impact of seeing his real-life wife k!ssed by another man on the show became too much for Sabelo to handle.
The divorce marks a poignant reminder of how challenging it can be for actors to separate their professional lives from their personal relationships, especially when their work involves int!mate scenes with others. While the storyline was purely fictional, the real-life consequences for Kgaogelo and Sabelo have been very real.
As the dust settles, fans are left to wonder how this will impact the future of *Smoke and Mirrors* and the characters of Petunia and Magolide. One thing is certain—their separation has added a new layer of drama, both on-screen and off.
That’s a lie
