• Felix Hlophe appears to have rekindled his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Ayanda Bhengu, and taken their love to the next level
• The radio and television personality's polygamy dream became a reality after he seemingly paid lobola for Bhengu and officially welcomed her into his family
• News of their ceremony ignited a heated debate among online users who critiqued the couple's relationship

South African comedian and media personality Felix Hlophe has reportedly taken a second wife, who is none other than his once-ex-girlfriend, Ayanda Bhengu.

Despite the initial hiccup in their relationship that led to the end of their steamy affair, the Gagasi FM host finally made his polygamy dreams come true to grow his family.

Footage from their lobola ceremony was leaked on Twitter (X) by JabulaniL2023 on 18 December 2025, sharing a glimpse into the traditional ceremony that hosted a delegation from Hlophe's family for the negotiations, who were treated to a spread of mouthwatering food and a lovely setup for the couple's big day.

The videos showed Hlophe and Bhengu's smiling faces as they celebrated their union with loved ones, with the comedian receiving a tray of food from his new bride, who knelt to serve him.

Already married with six children, Hlophe has taken on the responsibility of building a blended and loving family despite the complexities thereof.

Bhengu, who is a mother of two boys, featured on the comedian's reality show, Life with Felix Hlophe, which chronicled their tumultuous relationship.

She had ended their romance just before he could pay lobola for her, describing the polygamous setting as "toxic" and revealing several instances of drama and conflict that forced her to remove herself from the relationship to focus on her kids.

However, it appears that all is well that ends well, as the Hlophes officially start their new lives together as one big happy family.
