Simphiwe Ngema and Tino Chinyani are two renowned figures in Mzansi’s entertainment industry who used to date but tragically split up when we least anticipated it.
Here’s a look back at Simphiwe Ngema and Tino Chinyani’s romance and why they split up.
Even as an ex-couple, these two continue to set goals and demonstrate that breakups do not always result in animosity.
Simphiwe Ngema and Tino’s relationship
Simphiwe Ngema and Tino Chinyani were regarded one of Mzansi’s sexiest celebrity couples not long ago.
The couple kept their love hidden until Tino revealed their romance on social media in 2020.
Simz Ngema and Tino are both highly competent in their career, but they are also both incredibly gorgeous, and they used to serve some serious relationship objectives on social media back in the day. They would share the sweetest meaningful messages to each other on key occasions such as birthdays.
Although many of their followers were pleased with their relationship, a few people questioned it because of their age difference- Simz Ngema is a few years older than Tino Chinyani.
Fortunately, the couple ignored their critics and had their first child together, a son called Tiyani Micheal Kemorena Chinyani, on September 23, 2020.
Why did Simphiwe Ngema and Tino break up?
When they broke up in September 2021, it broke the hearts of their fans who thought their love would last forever.
Simz Ngema wrote on Instagram that their breakup was “the end of a beautiful love story” and that her relationship with Tino was “one of her greatest experiences.” She also promised that they would continue to be good parents to their son.
The couple didn’t say why they broke up, and there were rumors that Tino had cheated on Simz and had a child with another famous actress, but neither Simz nor Tino have said anything about the rumors.
Even though Simphiwe Ngema and Tino are no longer together, they get along well and work together to raise their son.
They also still help each other with their projects, which is exactly how we think breakups should be handled.
Simphiwe Ngema’s ex-husband
Before she met Tino, Simz Ngema was married, but her marriage ended quickly when her husband died in a tragic and unexpected way.
Her late husband, South African musician, actor, and former football player Dumi Masilela, was a very talented person in many fields.
Simphiwe and Dumi started going out in 2014 after Simphiwe’s best friend set them up. They kept their relationship very quiet and didn’t tell anyone they were together until after their traditional wedding in May 2017.
Simz and Dumi were only married for three months before they broke up. In August of 2017, hijackers shot Dumi Masilela while he was in Tembisa. He was taken to the hospital, but died there.
In Johannesburg, at Kempton Park Ekurhuleni, a memorial service and funeral were held for him. After his funeral, his three-ton, revolving tombstone was shown to the public.
