The entertainer previously attracted attention online with her Valentine’s date night performance.
Makhene made headlines in 2024 and 2025 as she shared details of her healing journey following her divorce.
The actress confirmed during an interview with the Daily Sun on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, that she was aware of her child’s father’s detention alongside their child. Makhene noted that her family is managing the situation.
“I need to be financially in a strong position, so that when I take the kid, I am able to provide for them,” says the actress.
Makhene’s partner also acknowledged that he was arrested due to a domestic violence allegation involving his current girlfriend, although the charges were later revoked.
As reported, Makhene’s partner spent three days in custody with their child after a complaint was lodged by his girlfriend at a nearby police station.

The singer has been active on her Instagram account, sharing photos and videos of her performances across the country after ending her relationship with Lebo Keswa.
Public reactions to Makhene’s past relationships
@AHT_YssY responded:
“There were rumours of abuse a few months ago, which I think she brushed off when asked about it. Today they’re ironing each other.”
@Makondlo1 commented:
“This is couples’s business. As South Africans, we must learn to draw a line on personal business.”
@NhlanhlaKumalo3 replied:
“I don’t want to laugh. But she left her abusive husband only to be abused. Eish..This is confusing!”
@Modipadi_W reacted:
“She’s from an abusive relationship and hopped into another. After her divorce, she should have stayed for a while to heal before taking the toxicity into another relationship.”

“I think this is for her; it’s time to do that self-introspection, stay single, and just fully invest herself in her kids. A break from relationships will do her good.”
@Morwakgadi59100 responded:
“They must leave each other. They will be making statements here soon to say we are jealous of them.”
@Mokanye14 stated:
“Well, how refreshing! In the midst of corona deaths, it’s comforting to see a ‘newspaper’ has so much time in their offices to write about one of the most basic freedom rights in this country. As if it’s poisonous to have a loving relationship.”
