The Couple's Recent Separation
Earlier this month, JP and Sue Duminy announced their separation after 14 years of marriage.
In a joint statement, they explained that they would be handling the transition privately but assured followers that the separation was amicable, and they remained on friendly terms.
Signs of Trouble Before the Split
The news didn’t come as a shock to many, as followers had already noticed that the couple had been distant for some time.
Sue was notably absent from JP Duminy's charity event in November, and there was speculation online regarding her whereabouts, with fans asking where she was during the event.
Sue's New Chapter Post-Split
Just days after their split was announced, Sue was spotted enjoying a girls' night out at a friend’s birthday party.
This marked a stark contrast to the previous year when she and JP celebrated his 40th birthday together, with shared moments of affection captured on social media.
At that time, Sue expressed how happy she was to continue life with JP.

Briefly News sat down with psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn to explore how public figures cope with the intense scrutiny of a breakup while protecting their mental well-being. She said:
"Because you are under scrutiny don't do anything you would not want in the public eye. Be respectful towards one another. You don't have to discuss everything that happened.
And be clear and concise and keep it simple when you say anything. It is easy for someone else to misinterpret what you said.
A break up is hard so take care of yourself, be healthy, have friends and family around for support and keep doing some fun things."
What Could Have Led to the Separation?
While the exact reasons for their separation have not been revealed, the recent cryptic message and the couple's growing distance over the past few months suggest there may have been underlying issues.

Divorce is never easy, especially in the public eye. Wishing them both healing and happiness as they move forward.

People should respect their privacy. Not every breakup needs to be turned into a spectacle.
