Did Kelly just say that?! Viewers react to Life With Kelly Khumalo Season 3 episode 1
The highly anticipated Life with Kelly Khumalo Season 3 episode 1 landed on Showmax on Tuesday, 5 July. The award-winning reality series continues to serve nothing but rawness and authenticity. The first episode kicked off with explosive revelations from Kelly about the family of her late boyfriend, Senzo Meyiwa. She even had a few things to say about Jub Jub, the father of her first child, Christian.
Speaking candidly with her best friend, Wanda Baloyi, Kelly touched on the fact that Jub Jub wished her a happy Mother’s Day on social media. Her feelings on the issue? It doesn’t look like she takes the gesture seriously. “I know a man that wants a relationship with his child when I see one. I will never stand in the way of that. However, don’t disrespect me,” she told Wanda. Kelly also spoke about how Senzo’s family saw him as a “cash cow” and opened up about her feelings towards his mother.
A lot has been shared about the mother of two on social media and the news in the last couple of months, and for the first time, Kelly decided to share her truth. Fans and viewers of the show appreciate the honesty and had a lot to say about the star’s show on social media.
Firstly, people love Kelly and Wanda’s friendship, and commend Wanda on being such a good friend.
