Pictures of TV personality Minnie Dlamini and celebrity surgeon Dr. Brian Monaisa looking cozy together in various locations have been circulating on social media, sending fans buzzing. Allegedly the photos surfaced after Dr. Monaisa shared a reel on his Instagram stories, fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship. According to ZiMoja, close friends of the pair have confirmed that the two are indeed an item.
A friend within their circle spoke to ZiMoja, shedding light on how the relationship started. “They were both in relationships, and they were genuine friends. We all spent a lot of time together. It just happened naturally when both of them became single. There was no extramarital affair or cheating—just people who had a great time together as friends,” the friend explained.
Minnie Dlamini, who separated from her husband Quinton Jones in 2022 after four years of marriage, has been open about the struggles that led to her divorce. She admitted that although she had always dreamed of raising her children in a home with both parents, she reached a point in her marriage where she felt lost. “People need to understand that when a marriage ends, it doesn’t end at the announcement or the day before the announcement; it ends long before that,” Minnie shared. “By the time I announced, I had gone through a lot of processes already. At the time of the announcement, it felt like a really big relief and a weight off my shoulders. I never imagined getting divorced. I always thought that I would raise my kids how I was raised. I just felt like, for me, the timing was off; I felt like I didn’t know myself. Furthermore, I went on to lose myself in my marriage.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Brian Monaisa has built a strong reputation in the medical field as a leading plastic surgeon. He is the head of plastic surgery at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital, specialising in reconstructive plastic surgery, and has earned multiple accolades, including the “Best Clinical Paper by a Registrar” award for his work in limb reconstruction. He was also a runner-up for his research on cosmetic breast surgery at WITS Medical School. Despite the growing rumours, both Minnie and Dr. Brian have remained tight-lipped about their alleged relationship.
