@LwandleMgudlwa reacted:
"I have a theory that the so-called “celeb” title f*cks up these chics. They will refuse to be a wife while enjoying the title of wife. All they want is holidays and shopping for Instagram posting. You can’t make a wife out of that."

"One thing about Pearl, she will easily break an engagement when not happy."
@BotziMarcus said:
"Stay away from dating celebs, they are fickle people. They chase the money or the best headline, not love. It's not a mystery why most of them are single or multiple divorcees."
