Cape Town – South African actress, fashion designer and entrepreneur Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has opened up about her personal life — including a new private relationship and her views on marriage after divorce in a candid interview.
Enhle spoke at length during a podcast appearance about how she’s healing from past struggles and embracing a fresh chapter in life.
In the interview, the former wife of internationally acclaimed DJ Black Coffee shared that she is currently in a relationship but is intentionally keeping it out of the public eye. “I’ve realised that the things that are personal to you, you can’t give it to people, so the relationship I am in right now, I’m not going to give it to you.
I don’t need to prove to you that I’m in a relationship and I’m extremely happy,” she said, emphasising her commitment to privacy and protection of her emotional wellbeing.
She also explained that healing has taught her to cherish what matters most. “Healing taught me that if you care for something deeply, you keep it close to your heart,” she told the podcast host, highlighting how this has shaped her approach to love and openness with her children about her life.
The mother of two also talked about the close bond she maintains with her sons, ensuring that they feel secure and loved as they grow.
“My kids don’t even know I am dating, only recently I am saying ‘I’m going out on a date’… I can see how much they appreciate that I’ve respected them,” she said, describing traditions like “pizza Fridays” and meaningful conversations about life and spirituality that strengthen their family foundation.
Despite a very public and often painful divorce from Black Coffee that stretched for years through legal battles, Mlotshwa made it clear she has not given up on love. She revealed that her recent bridal capsule with Essie Apparel symbolises her belief in love and marriage.
“I believe in love, I believe in the institution of marriage… I would definitely get married again,” she said, adding that she now sees the idea of marriage with greater emotional readiness and wisdom than before.
She noted that growth involved deep personal work — including therapy and coaching and a shift in how she perceives relationships. “I am wiser, smarter, emotionally well put, and I’ve healed a lot of my inner-girl traumas,” she said, underscoring how resolved she feels about her readiness for future commitments.
