It’s Mohale’s birthday but Somizi is at the forefront of the trends. Due to the nature of the couples’s estranged relationship, many were waiting with bated breath to see whether the media personality would publicly acknowledge his husband’s birthday.

Although many social media users innocently wished Mohale a happy birthday on Friday, others called on Somizi to do the same.

Somhale fans all over Mzansi wondered if this is the end, and it could well be.

Somizi unfollowed Mohale on both Instagram and Twitter. This happened after Somizi went to support his best friend Vusi Nova at his Easter gig.

Briefly News double-checked Somizi's social media accounts and can confirm that he is no longer following his husband Mohale.

Even through all this drama, the pair have insisted that they are not getting a divorce. They acknowledged that there were issues in the marriage but it's not clear what those are or if there were planning on fixing them.
