Singer, producer and composer Lebo M is headed for yet another divorce.
The 59-year-old Lion King composer has confirmed that he is in the process of filing for divorce from his wife Pretty Samuels, just five months after they celebrated their one year wedding anniversary.Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lebo M said that he is not going to discuss what led to his marriage coming to an end.
“I will not be drawn into salacious allegations and innuendos about my business and personal life. I will be going ahead with the divorce and have already instructed my attorneys,” he was quoted as saying.
The couple tied the knot in February last year and celebrated their one year anniversary on Instagram with sweet messages.
“It’s our first anniversary as husband and wife. Thank you, Pretty Samuels. I have no words. How blessed am I, beyond measure and anyone under the sun’s imagination. I love you,” Lebo M wrote in an Instagram post.
“Happy anniversary my friend first, my love, lover, boss, employee, sibling, my knight in all armours. I love you,” Pretty also celebrated the big day.
Besides his illustrious music career, the reality TV star is also popular for his “multiple marriages”.
When he got married last year, it was reported that he had gotten married a seventh time. However, setting the record straight in an interview with MacG on Podcast and Chill in July last year, he said that he has gotten married four times.
“I’ve been married three times, I just got remarried with my fourth wife, ” he said at the time.
Giving context on his marriages, the producer said that his first wife was American comedian Vivica Gibson with whom he had two children.
His second wife was actress Nandi Ndlovu-Goodjohn.
“That was a very great marriage… about four and a half years or so, five years.
“That’s my son, Tshepiso, Refilwe and my late son, Thembalethu’s mother… she took my money and married a gigolo,” he said.In 2008, he met Angela Ngani-Casara who became his third wife eight months later. The pair were married for five and a half years and have a daughter together.
“I divorced her, then tried a relationship for the second time.
“We never got married [for the second time]… And the third time was when the reality show happened, right before COVID. That is what is misquoted as we got married three times. We got married only once,” he explained.
