Zoe Mthiyane On How Different Parenting With Robert Marawa And Lebo M Is. Actress and singer Zoe Mthiyane has been keeping a low profile as far as her personal life is concerned since her breakup from former co-star Rapulana Seiphemo a few years ago. She recently however dished out on her parenting relationship with her two exes, who are the fathers of her two kids.
Speaking to Sunday World, Zoe opened up about her two famous exes, sports broadcaster Robert Marawa whom she shares a son with and singer and producer Lebo M whom she shares a daughter with. The actress detailed how different the two dads are in co-parenting, describing one as respectful and the other as impossible.
“I would describe parenting with Robert as respectful. Our families and close friends have played a major role in creating and maintaining a safety net around our son, and for that I will forever be grateful. He [the boy] is lucky,” she told the publication.
On co-parenting with Lebo, Zoe said, “Parenting with Lebo is impossible. We had to find ways to cope with that fact. However, I am lucky to have had intensive therapy, valuable advice and support to lean on. I practice gentle parenting as I learned early on that each child is born with their own personality.”
She went on to detail how her toxic her relationship with the latter was saying, “I have been doing well since 2016, having escaped an incredibly toxic situation in which I was required to navigate a well-orchestrated smear campaign organised by somebody I loved and trusted… that situation helped tutor me to better understand my own power.”
Whilst she admitted to take a step back with romantic relationships for now, Zoe is bent on making lemonade out of lemons when it comes to her career. “Exiting Generations was a difficult decision but necessary as I had started to regress in my efforts to remain consistent in my growth and mental health,” she said.
