Reality TV star Brandon Mthombeni, popularly known as Gash1, has shared lessons about love. This comes just over a month after his estranged wife, Thato Immaculate, caught fans off guard when she announced their split.

While Gash1 did not officially confirm that he and Thato Immaculate were divorcing, his behaviour on social media confirmed the end of his three-year marriage. On Monday, 1 June 2026, the former Big Brother Mzansi star ignored the noise surrounding his divorce and shared what she has learned about love and relationships.

In a video posted on his official Facebook account, Mthombeni shared that love requires focus and consistency. He explained that love works best when both people actively show it through action.

"You know what I've learnt about love? Focus. If I focus on loving you and you focus on loving me, then nobody has to worry about whether the next person loves the other person, ‘cause you know I love you, ‘cause I’m constantly showing you that I love you, and I know you love me, ‘cause you are always showing me you love me," he said.

He went on to stress that love is not only expressed through words, but also through everyday acts of service that often go unnoticed. Gash1 pointed out that small gestures can carry deep meaning in a relationship.

“Another thing that I realised and came to notice is that love is not always the words, ‘I love you.’ Love is also acts of service. I wake up every morning to make you breakfast. I love you. I wake up in the morning to take you to work. I love you. I take time out of my busy schedule to cut your hair, you know, that’s love. It means a lot to the next person as much as it may seem small and like it's nothing, it’s a very big thing,” Gash1 added.

He further encouraged followers to stop focusing only on verbal expressions of love and instead reflect on whether they are actively showing care to their partners each day.

“So tomorrow, don't just worry about eish, I didn't say I love you, did you show your person that you love them today?”
