In a shocking turn of events, Ghanaian socialite Mya Jesus has reportedly divorced her 59-year-old husband, just a few months after their viral wedding. The couple’s whirlwind romance and age gap had previously stirred significant interest and debate on social media.


 

The Whirlwind

According to various news outlets, Mya has now filed for divorce. A blogger known as “Sel The Bomb” has alleged that the socialite and her husband, referred to as Papito JM Julio, have not only broken up but also unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed all their engagement and wedding photos and videos from their pages.

“Mya Jesus and her Papito JM Julio have unfollowed each other on IG and wiped off their viral engagement/couple goals photos and videos from their Instagram pages,” the blogger reported.

Signs of Trouble
The blogger also noted that Mya did not publicly wish Julio a happy birthday two days ago, which is unusual given their history of flaunting their relationship on social media. This omission fueled further speculation about the status of their marriage.

Serious drama rocks Mpumelelo Mseleku’s polygamous relationship

drama of polygamous relationships, so often explored in the Mseleku family, has taken a dramatic turn, spilling onto the screens of Izingane Zes’thembu and taking the nation by surprise.

Mpumelelo Mseleku, son of the polygamous patriarch Musa Mseleku, has found himself at the centre of a very public and very messy break-up, leaving viewers questioning the viability of his isithembu aspirations.

The season finale of the Mzansi Magic show saw Mpumelelo’s first girlfriend, Vuyokazi Nciweni, walking away from their relationship, leaving him with his second girlfriend, Tirelo Kale. The break-up, which unfolded on screen, was far from amicable, culminating in a near-physical altercation between the two women.

Season 2 was a rollercoaster of emotions,” Tirelo told Daily Sun. “We filmed so much but reality TV will only show a bit of what was filmed. Some things aren’t there. I didn’t go there and pretend to be something I’m not when cameras are on. If something happens off-camera, I won’t go on camera and be different about it. That’s not who I am,” Tirelo said. “The season finale didn’t show everything. Viewers didn’t see everything. The part they showed me crying, I didn’t just cry out of nowhere, it started somewhere. They know why I cried. I know my truth and how everything unfolded.”

 

 

 

Despite the on-screen drama, Tirelo confirmed that she and Mpumelelo are still together, navigating the choppy waters of their relationship, despite the distance. “We’re still cruising nicely,” she added, a hint of defiance in her voice. “To those predicting doom, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.”

Vuyokazi, on the other hand, has moved on, leaving the tumultuous world of Mpumelelo’s isithembu behind. “The show was toxic, but a real experience. I regret not speaking up sooner. I was always told to respect the man, which made me look foolish,” she said, her voice laced with a sense of liberation.

Her decision to leave, she clarified, wasn’t influenced by Mpumelelo’s desire to marry a virgin as his first wife, despite her being his first girlfriend. “I healed while I was in the relationship. I had been made an idiot. The whole virgin thing showed me he didn’t need me even after I gave him two kids. Even if he would’ve changed his mind, made me the first wife, or even married me, I’d still not be happy in that marriage. I’d rather move on with my life.”

Vuyokazi’s words paint a stark picture of the complexities of modern relationships, particularly within the context of polygamous unions. The traditional values of respect and deference, often upheld in polygamous families, have clashed with the modern desire for individual autonomy and emotional fulfillment.

“My kids stay with me now,” Vuyokazi said, her voice softening as she spoke of her children. “I want them to grow in one place, and don’t want them to be introduced to different girls. How are they going to love them if they don’t love me,”

Her words resonate with a universal truth: the well-being of children should always be paramount, regardless of the complexities of adult relationships.

Mpumelelo, for his part, has remained silent, declining to comment on the unfolding drama. The production company of Izingane Zes’thembu confirmed that he chose not to participate in any interviews.

His silence speaks volumes, adding another layer of complexity to the already tangled narrative.

The break-up of Mpumelelo’s isithembu has sparked a national conversation about the realities of polygamous relationships in modern South Africa. Is it a viable path to happiness, or is it a recipe for heartbreak and conflict? The answer, it seems, is far from simple.

Jonathan Owens faces criticism for wearing Simone Biles’ medal

imone Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, has found himself at the centre of social media controversy after posting a photo of himself wearing her gold medal.

JONATHAN OWENS CELEBRATES SIMONE
The NFL player, 29, shared the image on Instagram with a heartfelt message celebrating his wife’s achievements. However, the post quickly attracted a wave of criticism.

In the photo, Owens is seen draped in Biles’ gold medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The accompanying caption praised Biles for her historic win, writing, “Congrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!!


 

Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful I was there to see it ❤️🤍💙.”

JONATHAN OWENS AND THE BACKLASH
While the sentiment was appreciated by many, the choice of accessory did not go unnoticed.

Critics were quick to point out that the medal did not belong to Owens.

One commenter quipped, “That’s Simone’s gold medal you’re holding, not yours my guy. 😂😂,” which garnered over 4,000 likes.

Another user expressed confusion, stating, “Why is he holding it like he won it?” and a third added, “Give the medal back bby [sic] that’s not yours.”

This backlash was a reminder of a previous controversy involving Owens, which was reignited by the medal photo.

JONATHAN OWENS PAST COMMENTS
The renewed criticism also brought back Owens’ past remarks from a December podcast episode.

On Pivot, he admitted that he was unfamiliar with Biles before they started dating.

“I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics,” he said, despite Biles’ considerable fame.

Further compounding the issue were Owens’ comments from the same podcast where he stated he was “the catch” in their relationship.

He added, “I always say that the men are the catch.”

SIMONE BILES STANDS BY HER MAN
These remarks led to significant backlash, although Biles defended her husband at the time, calling the critics “disrespectful.”

Despite the ongoing criticism, Jonathan Owens has been a supportive presence for Biles.

He attended the Olympics in Paris, where he sought permission from the Chicago Bears to be there, as the NFL team was gearing up for the new season.

Some fans rallied to Owens’ side, pointing out that not everyone follows every sport closely.

A SUPPORTIVE KING
One supporter wrote, “Y’all are so miserable to keep bringing up his comment of not knowing who she is.

This man loves that girl through and through and they make such a fly couple! Congratulations Simone.”

Biles herself seemed unbothered by the online uproar.

She responded to Jonathan Owens’ post with a loving comment: “My whole heart. I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

She also added, “Means the world you’re here.”

Amid the drama, rapper Flavour Flav chimed in to offer support, commenting, “Everyone luvs a supportive KING 👑 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.”

A POWER COUPLE
Biles and Owens began dating in 2020 and confirmed their relationship publicly that August.

They married in a courthouse ceremony in April 2022, followed by a picturesque beachside wedding in Mexico.

Despite the occasional online storm, their relationship continues to draw admiration from many.

The medal photo incident highlights the complex nature of public scrutiny faced by celebrities and their partners.

While Owens’ gesture may have been intended as a loving tribute, it also serves as a reminder of the expectations and criticisms that come with being in the public eye.
