On Saturday, 30 May, Samuels shared pictures from her trip to Rome, which featured breathtaking views, stylish outfits and a night at the Comet Theatre, in what many are labelling as "catching flights, not feelings." The pictures were a sharp contrast to the chaos that had erupted just days prior, when her ex-husband and Malumz On Decks' member DJ Oscar Nyathi, aka Oscar Baxx, were gunned down in broad daylight. The motive has yet to be revealed.

Samuels and Sonqishe separated in early 2025, less than two years after their glamorous traditional wedding around 2023. In 2024, reports emerged that the couple had started living separately, but by mid-2025, publications widely reported that the marriage had officially ended.

While the actress is notorious for keeping her private life away from the public eye and the media, there's no doubt that her first social media post after the tragedy will set the internet ablaze.
