The two later had a big wedding that was beamed on Multichoiceas. They sold their coverage rights for R6 million. However, in 2022 the two hogged headlines for the wrong reasons when they announced their split on Instagram.

Reasons behind Divorce

Minnie Dlamini’s fallout with Quinton came against a series of cheating allegations. Rumour mill has it that Jones pulled the plug with Minnie after she was reported having an extramarital affair with Edwin Sodi.
