Pearl Mbewe, in a recent Instagram post, shared her thoughts on her marriage to Sello Maake kaNcube, which ended last year after four years.
"I’m at peace, I’m OK, not faking it."
The couple, once considered one of South Africa's most enduring and loving celebrity couples, parted ways amidst protection orders and abuse allegations. Pearl took to social media to reflect on the events leading to their divorce.
"12 months ago I would have written a silly and stupid caption. But what a ride it has been, media speculation, my career went up and down. But do you know what, after a while you realise you don’t hate the person but you hated the situation,"
She also shared a valuable lesson she learned from the experience: living her truth and not dimming her light to accommodate others.
"You come from poverty, you were the first of it all in your family. Don’t light your light so bright that it dims your partner's light."
Pearl Mbewe's reflection on her marriage serves as a reminder of the importance of self-awareness and personal growth.
