Married At First Sight Mzansi’s Nkululeko Mahlangu Flaunts New Fiancée After Split From Makoto Phumodi

It looks like Married At First Sight Mzansi alum Nkululeko Mahlangu is officially off the market again!
The reality star, who became a household name on Season 2 of the hit Mzansi Magic show, recently took to social media to show off his beautiful new fiancée — and fans can’t stop talking.
Nkululeko first rose to fame after being paired with actress Makoto Phumodi, a match that viewers hoped would be one of the show’s success stories. However, their union turned out to be anything but picture-perfect.
A Marriage That Ended In Chaos
During their time on Married At First Sight Mzansi, Nkululeko and Makoto’s relationship quickly spiraled into arguments and tension. Despite their efforts, it was clear the two were not compatible.

By the recommitment episode, Makoto decided she had had enough, choosing to walk away from the marriage — while Nkululeko still hoped to make things work. Their fiery Tell-All episode was filled with accusations of lying and cheating, leaving fans stunned.
A New Beginning For Nkululeko Mahlangu

“Proverbs 31 Woman. Lord thank you after the storm truly the harvest is ripe. 🙌🏽 Thank you for my Lovely Fiancé. May our union be blessed by your grace,” Nkululeko wrote.
