Zola Mhlongo views co-parenting her son with Prince Kaybee as a learning journey and remains committed to ensuring his access to their child.
The couple split in 2021 following Kaybee's cheating.
Zola said she prioritises self-love and independence, treating herself how she wishes to be treated in a relationship.
South African media personality and actor Zola 'Zeelovin' Mhlongo recently sat down with Engineer Your Life podcaster Lungelo KM to discuss her love life and co-parenting with musician Kabelo 'Prince Kaybee' Motsamai.
The Metro FM radio host, who shares a four-year-old son, Mmino Milani, with the Fetch Your Life hitmaker, opened up about how raising their child together has been a continuous learning curve.
'I think co-parenting is a journey of learning. It's not always easy, but it's constant learning. It gets better. I believe it gets better,' Zola said.
She added that she would never deny Motsamai access to their child.
The couple, who welcomed their son in 2021, called it quits a year later, with Kaybee later issuing a public apology for cheating on her.
'I cheated, I humiliated my girlfriend publicly. To the people I have disappointed, the businesses I represent, my girlfriend and my mother, I profusely apologise from the bottom of my heart,' he wrote in an X post at the time.
These days, the DJ never shies away from showering her with praise and compliments on social media, recently referring to her as an amazing woman and mother of his child.
Zola, who remained mum on the rumours and the apology, has seemingly moved on.
She shared her philosophy of self-love by treating herself with the same care she would expect from a partner. By valuing herself first, she emphasised her independence and intent to attract the right relationship.
'I go on a fine dining date, all by myself, and I'll order my bubbles and my meal. I want to treat myself the way that God sees me. And also, I think once I start treating myself that way, if I'm meant to have a certain man in my life, I'll attract the right type of man,' Zola shared.
She also emphasised that she wasn't 'trying to be saved by a man.'
