Asavela gets candid on her divcorce

Uzalo actress Asavela Mqokiyana has spoken for the first time about her divorce and the challenges of co-parenting.
Asavela confirmed to actress and media personality Pasi Koetle that she is divorced and is now raising her child alongside her ex-husband.
“The plan was to have a two-parent household. I didn’t have that and I wanted to heal my inner child,” she told Pasi.
“Trying to build that for my inner child as well, and now it is stripped away. It was hard having to go through my divorce with a six-month-old baby.”
The former Isibaya star added, “Seeing the whole vision broken down and every day having to be responsible for this little human being, but inside you are losing yourself, and now you have to rebuild with this new soul.”
Asavela announced in 2022 that she was officially off the market, sharing that her and her husband’s families “were officially united” and that she had formally become Mrs Mqokiyana.
Not much is known about her husband. In the past, Asavela revealed that they had been together for years.
“I have such a thoughtful man. I don’t know how I settled for less before. I’ve been with my man for years now and he never misses anything when it comes to me. Always so gentle, even when I’m a bit loco… thungisani right now!”
