The two are still going strong, and they are well-known for their on-screen drama and for the fact that they are not ashamed to say how much they admire each other. In 2019, they were blessed with the arrival of their first little one. Recently, Lexi uploaded a photo to social media showing herself holding her little son Thingo.
According to reports, the couple didn’t get back together following the birth of their child; however, it now seems as though they have resolved their issues. Since their argument a year ago, they had refrained from talking about one other on the social media profiles they maintained.
However, all of that changed after Valentine’s Day, when Mandla uploaded a photo of them on her Instagram account with the comment “My family.” Since that initial post, the two of them have been exchanging messages with one another.
