‘I’m proud of how I handled my marriage’ – Enhle Mbali on life with Black Coffee

Actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa has opened up about her marriage and split from world-renowned DJ and producer Nkosinathi Maphumulo, popularly known as Black Coffee.

The award-winning fashion designer and actress was married to Black Coffee for a couple of years before filing for divorce in 2019. Together, they have two children.

During an interview with Relebogile Mabotja on 702 earlier this week, Enhle spoke about the emotional toll of the relationship and its ultimate breakdown, saying she is proud of how she handled her marriage.

“I’m proud of how I handled my marriage. I never cheated, not once, until the day I decided to leave — because I could no longer take the punishment to myself,” she said.

Enhle said she reached her breaking point when she discovered he had two children with two different women.

“Once there were two children, from two different women, I said, ‘You don’t love me. In fact, you’re going to kill me.’ I have two kids. So I’m going to run — and I did.”

Enhle on healing and forgive

The actress said she has since worked on herself and forgiven both her ex-husband and herself.

“I lost a lot of respect for my partner. I forgave him for the apologies I never got. I forgave myself for forgetting my inner child — the 20-year-old, the 21-year-old, the 28-year-old. But there are dreams. I remember who they are now, and we’re moving together so beautifully.

“I don’t want people to take sides. I love them — obviously. I might not have a lot of respect for Nkosinathi Maphumulo, but Black Coffee — that man is talented. He’s extremely talented. And Enhle Mbali is out-of-this-world talented. So I want people to be able to separate the two.”

Black Coffee is currently dating Venezuelan model Victoria Gonzalez.

The pair recently shared their 2019 vs 2025 pictures on Instagram Stories, hinting at an anniversary celebration.

Black Coffee has been linked to Gonzalez since 2023. The pair have been travelling the world together, with their latest trip to Monaco for the F1 Grand Prix weekend.
