Mzbel
Musician Mzbel has made a surprising revelation about her private life, disclosing for the first time, that she has been married and divorced twice.
Speaking on United Showbiz on Saturday the outspoken singer said her past relationships were kept hidden even from her own family.
“I’ve been married twice and divorced twice, but nobody, including my family, knows,” she revealed.
Mzbel explained that her first marriage happened when she was just 22, to a man 28 years older who had supported her before her music career took off.
“He did everything for me. That was even before I started music,” she said.
However, what began as support later turned into abuse. The singer recounted how her ex-husband became controlling and violent at the peak of her career.
“Even getting a text message could make him angry, and he would beat me,” she disclosed.
Despite his role in her early life, Mzbel said she eventually walked away after realising she had saved enough money to live independently.
“One day, I realised I had saved enough… He came back apologising after I had left, but I didn’t want the marriage anymore,” she added.
On her second marriage, the artiste said she chose to keep things strictly private, including the divorce.
“We actually divorced, but no one heard of it. I didn’t put the private issues of my second marriage out to the public because of the experience from my first marriage,” she explained.
