YouTuber and media personality Mihlali Ndamase has revealed more details about her controversial romance with businessman Leeroy Sidambe. The couple’s relationship sparked a lot of attention when it was discovered that Sidambe was still legally married to his estranged wife, Mary Jane. Ndamase had previously been linked to Bandile, one of the Major League DJz duo.
Ndamase did not let the negative comments affect her happiness as she opened up about her love for Sidambe in a recent interview with Unfollowed host Thembekile Mrototo. She explained how she and Sidambe fell in love and how he clarified his marital situation.
“He decided that he wanted to date someone and find a partner, and we just clicked,” she said about starting a relationship with a married man.
She admitted that she was concerned when she found out about his marital status, but she refused to share any information about the progress of his divorce. She also denied that she was with him for his money, saying that she had her own income.
“I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but I could be with anyone I wanted to be with, so I definitely choose someone based on their character and how they treat me. There’s plenty of money in the world,” she said.
Sidambe also expressed his love for Ndamase in a viral video over the weekend. He hinted that Ndamase might even be the one who supports him financially.
“Maybe she’s the one who gives me money,” he said in the video. “That woman is everything to me. Guys, I love her.”
He also called her his “beautiful wife”.
Sidambe first spoke publicly about his relationship with Ndamase in August last year, when he defended her from the criticism she faced for being with him. He said that he and Mary Jane had separated before he met Ndamase and that they were free to live their lives as they wished.
Ndamase also told Nounouche Online that she was “madly in love” with Sidambe. However, she said she would only talk openly about her relationship when married, because she did not see the need to discuss her personal life.
