“That said, I CANNOT remain single forever. As a man, I long for peace and love in my home—a place where I can come back to someone who supports me, COOKS for me, and offers companionship. While I respect and cherish the relationship I share with my ex-wife as co-parents, my new partner is someone who I feel aligns with my values and brings joy and PEACE into my life,” he stated.
He further stated that he wouldn’t be acknowledging any rumours about Lulu’s relationship with his ex-wife.
“She is VERY BEAUTIFUL in my eyes, with no negative history. I will ignore all the blatant lies that she was friends with my ex-wife or used to buy cakes from her,” he said.
Key to the relationship, Chivayo revealed, is Lulu’s acceptance of his Apostolic faith. He also indicated that he plans to pay a substantial lobola.
