Nyala O star Amanda Seome has pulled back the curtain on her personal love life, sharing what she will and will not tolerate in a relationship, and what her dream partner looks like.

The actress, who brings Pretty Hadebe to life on the new Mzansi Magic telenovela, sat down with the Sowetan to discuss her character but ended up revealing quite a bit about her own romantic standards in the process.

Amanda Seome's relationship deal breakers

For Seome, loyalty is non-negotiable. She was direct about the fact that cheating is completely off the table, but she did not stop there. Dishonesty and a lack of communication ranked equally high on her list of things she refuses to entertain. In her view, without open and honest communication, the very foundation of a relationship begins to crack.

Playing Pretty has also shaped how Seome thinks about her own approach to love. She drew on her character's journey to speak about a habit she believes many people fall into: putting their lives on hold for someone else. Her take is simple. Do not make excuses for people. Accept them for who they are, and always put yourself first.

"I don't even think it's selfish… It's choosing you.”

Who is Amanda Seome's ideal partner?

Seome was equally candid when speaking to Bona Magazine about what she is looking for. She described herself as a high priority in her own life, making it clear that her happiness and comfort come before anything else. She told the Sowetan that she does not believe in depriving herself of joy in the hope that someone else will come along and provide it.

When it comes to a partner, she has a clear picture in mind. He must be on a spiritual journey, with a genuine relationship with God. Beyond faith, she wants someone who is spiritually aligned with her, respectful, and close to his family. She also noted that these are lessons she feels her character, Pretty, still needs to learn for herself.
