Is Khaby Lame single?
We all knew Khaby Lame for his iconic hand gestures, expressive reactions, and silent videos – until late 2023, when little else was publicly known about the content creator's personal life.
But everything changed when Lame quietly tied the knot with Wendy Thembelihle Juel, a Danish South African model, in November 2023, and the news about his marriage did not make headlines then, reported ToI.

As per the report, there were no viral reels from the wedding or endless social media pictures; only a few of them surfaced on the internet. However, the couple reportedly divorced in just over seven months. According to Vanity Fair, Khaby's manager, Nicola Paparusso, cited "unexpected and irremediable incompatibility of character" as the reason behind their split.
Hence, the answer to the question remains 'Yes', Lame remains single after Khaby's past relationship, and as of 2025, he is reportedly single.

Apart from Wendy, Khaby Lame also reportedly got engaged to Zaira Nucci, who is an Italian social media influencer from his hometown, in October 2020.

TikTok star Khaby Lame plays soccer in Brazil after US detention
SAO PAULO — Khaby Lame, the world's most-followed TikTok personality who left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents, went to Brazil where he's been spending some time with friends, local authorities said Thursday. Lame is staying with AC Milan player Emerson Royal, and has been enjoying time with local fans, Paulo Eduardo Dias Junior, a city councilman from Americana, about 78 miles northwest of Sao Paulo, told The Associated Press. On Wednesday night, they played a friendly soccer match with locals. Lame left the United States after being detained on June 6 by immigration agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Junior organized Wednesday's match on behalf of the nonprofit he leads, Instituto Jr Dias. He said that Lame and Royal's participation helped collect 150 food baskets for vulnerable families. 'Emerson Royal is a role model for the children in our community, and so is Khaby, who is globally known through social media. He's a sensation among kids today,' Junior said. 'He had a lot of fun with the kids and played a lot.' The councilman said that the team that Lame and Royal were on won 3-1. Everything went smoothly, he added, except for the post-match celebration. As is tradition in Brazil, players gathered for a barbecue. But Lame preferred a parmegiana, so they took him to a local restaurant, Junior said. This is not Lame's first time in Brazil. Last year, he traveled to the country to attend Royal's wedding. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' an ICE spokesperson told the , which sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He hasn't publicly commented on his detention. His detention and voluntary departure from the United States comes amid U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old Lame rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks.' He has more than 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and also has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multiyear partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S. Follow 's coverage of Latin America and the Caribbean at /hub/latin-america

Siddhant Chaturvedi And Chae Soo Bin's Rainy Romance In Viral Ad Stuns Fans
Last Updated: Siddhant Chaturvedi and K-Drama star Chae Soo Bin feature in a romantic Crocs Japan ad, leaving fans stunned by their unexpected yet adorable chemistry. Watch now! In a year filled with cinematic surprises, one of the most delightful and unexpected collaborations of 2025 has just arrived—Bollywood star Siddhant Chaturvedi and Korean actress Chae Soo Bin sharing screen space in a newly released Crocs Japan commercial. The ad has taken the internet by storm, uniting desi film buffs and K-drama loyalists in shared excitement and awe over a crossover no one saw coming. The commercial is a heartwarming visual treat that feels straight out of a feel-good rom-com. It opens with Siddhant and Soo Bin crossing paths under a cloudy Tokyo sky. Their encounter starts with a misunderstanding—icy glares and awkward silence—but soon gives way to friendship as they stroll side by side in their Crocs. A playful rain shower sets the stage for a poetic connection, as their chemistry quietly unfolds, drenched in a shared moment of joy and surprise. The visual cues, the emotional beats, and the soft instrumental score have reminded many of iconic K-drama tropes with a dash of Bollywood soul. Clips from the ad have gone viral across platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans expressing their disbelief and amusement at the pairing. One user wrote, 'Siddhant Chaturvedi and Chae Soo Bin? My multiverse just broke!" Another quipped, 'An Indian actor, a Korean actress, a Japanese brand—this is what globalization truly looks like." Reels and reaction videos have been pouring in, with netizens making memes, romantic edits, and even imagining full-fledged dramas starring the two. While the commercial was created for Crocs Japan, its emotional universality and cross-cultural casting have struck a deeper chord with audiences globally, signaling a rising trend in pan-Asian collaborations. Industry insiders speculate that this could open doors for more cross-border ad campaigns and even film projects between India and South Korea, especially with the booming popularity of Korean content in India and vice versa. For Siddhant Chaturvedi, this project adds another global feather to his cap. The actor, known for his breakout in Gully Boy and subsequent performances in Gehraiyaan and Phone Bhoot, has consistently been exploring unconventional scripts and roles. He will next be seen in Dhadak 2, alongside Triptii Dimri, a film that has already stirred discussion due to its sensitive themes. He also has Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling in the pipeline, which co-stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaya Bachchan, promising an ensemble-driven emotional drama. Chae Soo Bin, on the other hand, continues to make waves after her gripping performance in Netflix's When The Phone Rings, a psychological thriller that became a smash hit in Korea and abroad. Despite criticisms over its abrupt and divisive ending, her portrayal earned acclaim, and this new international campaign cements her growing popularity beyond South Korean shores. What makes this collaboration particularly heartening is the lack of gimmickry. The chemistry between the two actors is sincere and organic. With minimal dialogue and strong non-verbal cues, the ad tells a universal story of connection—an ode to chance meetings, awkward beginnings, and moments that bloom into something unexpectedly beautiful. While there's no official word on any further collaboration between Siddhant and Soo Bin, fans have already begun demanding a full-length film or K-drama featuring the duo. 'Give them a movie already! I didn't know I needed this pairing until now!" read one fan comment. First Published:
