Still riding Cuff It season, the housemates shared their most unforgettable mjolo chronicles. The stories of heartbreak, humour, and hard lessons poured out as a reminder that love can be chaotic, emotional, and deeply human.
Ashay admitted he doesn’t have a so-called "worst" relationship story to share, saying his romantic journey has been relatively smooth so far. Lucky him.
Bravo B reflected on an old betrayal where a girlfriend cheated with a close friend. Though painful at the time, he now views it as a lesson that shaped his outlook on trust.
Didi shared perhaps one of the most emotionally complex stories, describing a relationship that affected her mental well-being for nearly two years. Behind gestures of love hid repeated cheating and emotional and physical harm, leaving her feeling trapped in what she now recognises as a trauma bond – both her worst and most confusing experience with love.
Dube recalled being cheated on with someone he perceived as older, richer and more established. The experience shook his confidence and forced him to rethink his sense of self-worth and approach to dating.
Ilano reflected on a matric relationship with a classmate in 2022, a youthful chapter she now sees as a formative lesson rather than a lingering regret.
King Wanda spoke about being abandoned at one of the lowest points in his life without explanation or closure. He likened the experience to being left stranded in a desert, searching for answers and emotional grounding.
Liema lightened the mood by joking that her most chaotic relationship experience was being in an isithembu situation, something she now laughs about with the benefit of hindsight.
Mmeli shared that, fortunately, he hasn’t endured a relationship bad enough to call his worst, saying his past romances never escalated into serious turmoil.
Neliswa described entering a relationship with someone fresh out of another commitment, which spiralled into emotional chaos. Dishonesty and gaslighting created conflict between her and his ex, only for her to later discover he had been cheating on them both with multiple partners, boys included.
Que reflected on a varsity romance that accelerated at lightning speed. Within six months, the relationship cycled through honeymoon bliss, jealousy, a breakup, reconciliation, an alleged pregnancy, loss and a final separation – a whirlwind that left lasting impressions.
Ramona laughed about a short but intense fling where passion clouded judgement. After going above and beyond for her partner, she later witnessed him repeating the same gestures with someone new, a humbling moment that taught her valuable boundaries.
The Don opened up about his first love in high school cheating on him with two of his friends. Despite the betrayal, he chose forgiveness, a decision that continues to influence how he views loyalty and relationships.
Thandeka shared that she once dated someone whose behaviour closely mirrored that of his parents, saying the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Trixie revealed that she was once married. She also shared that her most recent relationship turned violent and left her needing eight stitches to her head.
Tumi the Barber revealed that a previous partner subjected him to verbal and physical abuse, and following their breakup, she spread claims that he had been the abuser.
These confessions serve as a reminder that love is rarely simple. Relationships can challenge identity, trust, and emotional wellbeing, yet they also offer growth, perspective, and resilience.
