Pearl Thusi: Married or Engaged?
The actress’ relationship took a controversial turn in her life when she split from her fiance, sports personality Robert Marawa.
Pearl and Robert were previously engaged, but Robert revealed in a tweet on August 7, 2017, that their relationship had ended. Pearl also stated in an interview with Sowetan Magazine, “Sometimes things don’t work, and they are allowed (not) to.”
Pearl was single for about a year after their divorce. Then she was accused of dating Kerri Hilson’s ex-boyfriend, NBA basketball player Serge Ibaka.
According to reports, the couple first met at the NBA Africa Games, which were held in Johannesburg in August of 2017.
The rumor began when the couple shared a similar photo from a trip to Barcelona in July 2018. In fact, a source told sportsgossip.com that the actress was spotted on Instagram stories at Serge’s home and had attended many of his basketball games.
A fan also claims to have seen them together on Christmas Day in South Beach, Miami. “It was awesome to run into @PearlThusi and her boyfriend @sergeibaka on Christmas Day in South Beach!” the fan tweeted. Quantico is one of my favorite shows.
However, neither has addressed any dating rumors as of yet.
Pearl Thusi: Daughter and Family
Pearl also has a daughter named Thando. Her daughter was born during her first year of varsity. Walter Mokoena, a sports personality, is her daughter’s father. Pearl admits that Walter is a good father to their daughter, and she is able to balance her demanding career and motherhood thanks to her baby daddy.
Although Pearl and Walter had a strained relationship, her baby daddy has begun a new life with his wife, Nosizwe Zuma. And Pearl appears to get along well with her baby daddy’s wife.
But it appears Thando is not her only child. Pearl shares some photos with a young girl who could be mistaken for her daughter, Thando. But this does not appear to be the case. Pearl made the post in Ghana in November of 2018.
Pearl posted a picture of her rumored daughter with the caption “Mummy” on March 10, 2019.
