BREAK-UPS

A close friend to the couple says they separated in 2023 and Richard has moved out of their home. "Things have not been going well between them for some time. They tried to fix things, but it's been tough, however, they have been doing well in co-parenting."

MOVING ON

The friend says that Richard has "moved on and is currently seeing someone new,". "They were such a cute couple. They were in love for a few years. Richard has moved on to dating someone prominent in the film industry as well. I don't want to divulge who. I'm scared. I also don't think he is ready to make it official."

PRIVATE

Although Nozipho is a more private person than Richard, the two have shared images of their family and wedding day.The couple have two children together. "I hope they fix things, all couples go through a tough time," another friend says. "But it will be tough to fix things now that he is dating someone that is in the same circle and same industry." Nozipho could not be reached for comment, and Richard did not respond after requesting to be sent questions.
