Dr Brian Monaisa confirms Minnie Dlamini split: Inside the short-lived affair

News2422-04-2025

Dr Brian Monaisa confirmed his breakup with Minnie Dlamini, attributing the split to personal reasons and denying infidelity.
Their romance was marked by lavish trips and public declarations, including a Valentine's Day post with a brand-new Porsche reportedly gifted by Monaisa.
Trouble surfaced in late March when they deleted photos of each other, signalling the end of their high-profile relationship.
After a whirlwind romance filled with glamorous travels and grand gestures, plastic surgeon Dr Brian Monaisa has officially confirmed his split from award-winning media personality Minnie Dlamini. Monaisa shared news of the split on social media on Monday, saying they called it quits on their romance under amicable terms, clearing the air around speculation of cheating.
"Ms Dlamini and I had a beautiful relationship, which sadly came to an end purely for personal reasons, which had nothing to do with infidelity by either party," he said. "Whilst our romantic relationship has come to an end, there remains mutual respect between Ms Dlamini and I."
The couple's journey began under uncertain timelines but became public knowledge in January when Monaisa posted loved-up snaps of them together on his Instagram stories.
The newfound romance soon faced controversy as Monaisa's ex-girlfriend, Neema Aloyce, publicly accused Dlamini of wrecking her family on social media. However, days later, Aloyce retracted her allegations, saying, "Even though she (Dlamini) was part and parcel of my betrayal, I should have been able to control how I dealt with the situation."
Despite the drama, Dlamini and Monaisa's bond blossomed.
By February, the couple had made it Instagram official as they had documented their luxurious Zimbabwe getaway.
On Valentine's Day, Dlamini affectionately referred to Monaisa as "motho waka" (my person) in a post of them together and another of her gleaming beside a brand-new Porsche, reportedly a grand gesture from the doctor.
The pair's romance peaked during Monaisa's birthday celebrations in March when Dlamini pulled out all the stops with gifts, a fancy party, and another getaway – this time to Nigeria.
Teasing playfully, she hinted at high expectations for her own birthday in July.
After the festivities, the former couple were all smiles at the 2025 Forbes Woman Africa Awards at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, demonstrating a star couple in their prime.
However, before the end of March, the cracks began to show as the pair quietly removed social media posts featuring each other from their respective social media pages, fuelling speculation. Notably, Monaisa was also absent from the screening of Channel O's (DStv 320) Club Bangers, a production by Dlamini's company Beautiful Day Productions.
Amid the highs and lows, an unnamed source previously told Zimoja that their relationship began as a friendship and grew stronger once both were single.
Dlamini's romantic history includes her 2017 marriage to Quinton Jones, with whom she shares a child. That marriage ended in 2022, with a denial of infidelity rumours in a joint statement.

Bruce Springsteen, wife Patti Scialfa celebrate wedding anniversary

Bruce Springsteen, wife Patti Scialfa celebrate wedding anniversary Show Caption Hide Caption Bruce Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa reveals cancer diagnosis Longtime E Street Band member and wife of Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, revealed she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2018. The Springsteens are celebrating over three decades of love. Bruce Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary over the weekend. Scialfa, a member of Springsteen's E Street Band, has been on hiatus from the group since revealing she had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. "Our one year anniversary … Bruce surprised me with a beautiful party," Scialfa wrote in a June 8 Instagram post alongside a photo of the couple sharing a kiss. Scialfa and Springsteen were married June 8, 1991, in Los Angeles. "Today marks 34 years … even though we already had Evan and Jess was on the way … spent the evening with Bruce (and) Sam and our granddaughter Lily," she continued. Scialfa and Springsteen share three children: Evan, 34; Jessica, 33; and Sam, 31. The family will soon notch another milestone: a multigenerational album. Sam and Evan are credited with contributing background vocals on the track "Where You're Going, Where You're From," part of the "Faithless" album, one piece of a two-part project that releases old Springsteen tracks from the vault. On Instagram, friends, fans and family congratulated the couple on their milestone. "Happy Anniversary!!!!!! We love you both!!!!!" commented Rita Wilson, an actress and wife to Tom Hanks. Longtime Springsteen photographer and concert promoter Danny Clinch laid down three heart emojis. "What a beautiful picture of the two of you! A very Happy Anniversary from us to you! Nicki & Garry," Nicky Germaine, the wife of E Street bassist Gary Tallent, wrote. Springsteen and Scialfa first met when she answered a newspaper ad in the mid-1970s for a female backup singer versed in 1960s girl groups. She had a tryout with the E Street Band, but did not end up joining the group until 1984 on the eve of the Born in the USA tour. When the two began to rehearse alone at her New York City apartment ahead of the subsequent Tunnel of Love tour, the line between bandmates and lovers began to blur. "I used to steal up there and sit on a park bench waiting for my gal to meet me with a six pack of beer," Springsteen said during a July 2020 broadcast of "Bruce Springsteen: From His Home, To Yours" on Sirius XM's E Street Radio channel. "We got engaged on that park bench," Scialfa added. Marianne Faithfull's "Trouble In Mind" was the theme of their budding romance, the couple revealed. "I used to drive you back from New York City after visiting me, and we would play that all the way back," Springsteen said. "That makes me think of your blue Camaro," Scialfa added, "and also you had an old Corvette, which was also blue. We would just play that, never talk. We were just in a daze of love." "Marianne Faithfull was our guardian angel in those days," Springsteen said. Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Kristin Davis Addresses Chris Noth Dating Rumors

Originally appeared on E! Online And just like that, Kristin Davis is setting the record straight about a Big rumor. After a fan asked her if she dated Chris Noth, who starred alongside her as Mr. Big—love interest of Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw—on Sex and the City and its ongoing sequel series, the actress passionately shut down that speculation. "No," the 60-year-old commented on her Instagram June 6. "I didnit!!! [sic]" Dating rumors about Davis—who played Charlotte York Goldenblatt on the HBO franchise—and Noth first swirled in 2000, the year they were photographed looking cozy at the MTV Movie Awards, with the actress even licking her costar's cheek on the red carpet. The speculation resurfaced on Reddit in recent months. Davis—who did once date Alec Baldwin, who franchise creator Darren Star originally considered for the role of Noth's character—made her comments alongside a clip from the June 2 episode of her SATC rewatch podcast Are You A Charlotte?. On the show, the Melrose Place alum and Megan Thee Stallion discussed Mr. Big's journey, which ended in season one of And Just Like That in 2022 after the controversial character suffered a fatal heart attack. "We killed him," Davis said. "He died on the Peloton." More from E!

"We killed him," Davis said. "He died on the Peloton." Noth—whose character angered fans when he abandoned Carrie at their wedding in the 2008 Sex and the City movie before reconciling—was due to appear on And Just Like That again after Mr. Big was killed off. But a flashback scene he filmed was scrapped following sexual assault allegations made against the actor, who denied any wrongdoing and was never charged with a crime. After the accusations were made public in the media, Noth was also dropped from the CBS show The Equalizer and lost deals with both the tequila brand Ambhar Tequila and Peloton. But despite the turmoil, the actor isn't giving up on his career. "I can't just say 'Well, OK, that's it for me'. I'm an actor. I have other things that I want to do creatively," he told USA Today in 2023. "And I have children to support. I can't just rest on my laurels." "I have to just continue on," Noth continued. "It's rough, because people are scared, and their fear leads them. And I have to just persevere because I still have a creative life." As for Davis, you can watch her on season three of And Just Like That, which premiered May 29. Look back at Charlotte and other characters' relationships on Sex and the City...
