As a family man, Mondli decided to settle down when he was 22 years old. The mother of his two children is Australian, so their backgrounds and cultural beliefs were different. This resulted in the failure of their marriage.

“I was married to an Australian woman and we have two kids today, but it did not work because of many things, but mostly our cultural differences,” said the actor.

Mondli says infidelity also played a part in divorce

The former The Wife star also delved deeper into his marital woes, saying his ex-wife also cheated on him.

He claimed that he once shared a cup of coffee with the man with whom his ex-wife had an affair.

That was not all, Mondli spoke candidly about another one of his failed relationships. He admitted that he is a man who allows himself to express whatever emotion he feels — and that includes crying.
