Takkies’ marriage ends after 8 years together
Choreographer and former Fly Chix star Nkateko “Takkies” Maswanganyi has confirmed that her marriage to Chris Dinwiddy has come to an end after nearly eight years together.
The couple, who share two daughters, have now gone their separate ways and are dating new partners.
Dinwiddy took to social media to reveal he has found love again in the UK, writing: “During life’s winding journey, I met an unexpected person in an unexpected place. And so started a new life chapter with a supportive, caring, and beautiful partner at my side.”
The pair had relocated to London during their marriage, but sources claim their relationship crumbled there.
An insider alleged that Dinwiddy became involved with someone else shortly after the move. “He strayed. He connected with someone else when they arrived in Europe,” a close friend told Sunday World.
Despite the painful split, Takkies has also moved on. She confirmed she is dating again and described the experience as a lesson in resilience.
“I’m grateful to God for giving me strength, opening my eyes, and saving me. Healing is not straight forward but so vital. I’m back and better,” she said.
The 35-year-old hinted she has a new partner but has chosen not to disclose his identity publicly.
“I’m approaching love by protecting my peace. My boundaries are stronger. I don’t overlook red flags, and as sweet as I am, I’m not accepting any nonsense,” she added.
The former couple had once been admired as one of Mzansi’s favourite love stories.
Their glamorous 2017 wedding in Magaliesburg even featured on the lifestyle show Top Billing.
At the time, Takkies had said: “This is for a lifetime.”
