According to the interview with Radio 702 host Uveka Rangappa, Reyneke said she chose happiness for her children, while her ex, Mngqolo, previously spoke about his struggles.

Reyneke said:

“We were together for 10 years and planned a beautiful big future, I was happy with his flaws and his good stuff; this was the guy I was going to suffer for. Ten years in, I was just like this, I am going to fail at and I think it is best that I fail, because either my kids will have unhappy parents that are together or happy parents separate. And I chose happy parents because you can’t teach happiness, you show it, and I need to see my kids being happy.”
