After weeks of public bickering and shocking accusations, beauty influencer Mihlali Ndamase and businessman Leeroy Sidambe have reportedly reconciled, much to the surprise of many onlookers. Their tumultuous relationship, marked by allegations of physical abuse and substance use, had seemingly reached a breaking point just last month. However, according to a close friend, the couple is now working on their relationship and confronting their toxic patterns.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Mihlali and Leeroy recently “kissed and made up.” A close friend told ZiMoja, “No one is perfect. They appear very toxic, but they are working things out, and their friends are supporting them through this.” While their relationship has raised eyebrows due to its toxic nature, it seems the two are committed to moving forward together.
The couple’s latest breakup in August turned ugly after an alleged argument escalated into violence. Mihlali shared photos on her Instagram story showing bruises on her forehead, lips, and under her eye, captioned, “Thank you, my angel Leeroy.” The images immediately caused a stir online, with many concerned about the influencer’s safety.
In response to the accusations, Leeroy defended himself, claiming that he is not an abuser, while Mihlali admitted they were entangled in a toxic love affair. She vowed to seek support and resources to heal from the trauma, stating, “I need to reclaim my sense of dignity and self-worth through my healing journey. I hope to inspire others to speak out, seek help, and break free from any toxic environment.”
Despite these alarming events, those close to the couple say the two have always had a “sofa silahlane” (ride or die) bond. Leeroy, who previously described Mihlali as the love of his life, is reportedly determined to work through their issues together, though both are still grappling with their personal traumas.
This isn’t the first time Mihlali has stirred controversy with her comments. In a shocking social media post, she referred to Leeroy using the derogatory term “After Nine,” insinuating that he presents himself as straight but engages in relationships with men behind closed doors. This accusation came amid a whirlwind of claims, including Leeroy accusing Mihlali of substance abuse, which only fueled the tension between them.
