A look at DJ Fresh’s failed marriage and rumoured relationships

Motswana disk jockey, producer and entrepreneur based in Johannesburg, DJ Fresh, born Thabiso Sikwane, has quickly become one of Africa’s most sought-after DJs. Over the years, he has headlined several shows across the globe and made Europe his playground.

Despite his illustrious career, DJ Fresh’s love life often thrusts him into top trends.

The celebrated radio host and podcaster is making headlines after his cosy video with celebrated painter and artist Sina Kleemann made rounds on social media.

Barely a few months after DJ Fresh revealed that he doesn’t want to date, reports have it that he has found love in Kleemann’s arms. Against the rumours, controversial blogger Musa Khawula seemingly revealed that the two are dating in an X post.

However, the two are yet to confirm their rumoured relationship openly. Judging from their social media feeds, the two are living it up in Ibiza, an Island in the Mediterranean Sea.

Their rumoured relationship has since undoubtedly implicated DJ Fresh’s failed marriage and rumoured relationships into the mix. The South African dives into some of DJ Fresh’s alleged affairs that have made headlines over the years.

Failed marriage

In February 2022, DJ Fresh made headlines when he confirmed his split from Thabiso Sikwane after 20 years of marriage. The two separated three years before making it official. They said they were already finalising their divorce when they went public about their split.

DJ Fresh, who had built an empire with his ex-wife, confirmed that the split was amicable. He revealed that the two still loved each other and had no drama. DJ Fresh and Thabiso married in 2002 after meeting at YFM.

They were once dubbed the ‘it couple’ in celebrity circles before going their separate ways after 20 years of marriage.

However, earlier this year, DJ Fresh downplayed rumours that he was in a relationship with celebrated media personality Khumo Kgwaadira from Botswana. The news made headlines after their photos together circulated.
