POPULAR YouTube couple Sibu Mpanza and Buhle Lupindo have called it quits.
The former lovebirds, who blew into fame for their adorable binge-worthy content online, said they went through a lot during lockdown and decided to part ways.
Sibu said he was still trying to adjust to the break-up, and that his friends were helping him.
Buhle also took to social media to open up about the break-up, sharing that Sibu had saved her life after she was diagnosed with mental illness.
“I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar and ADHD within a space of less than two years, and on top of that, there’s life to navigate. Sibu helped me and tolerated things you can’t even imagine. But, some journeys are meant to be taken alone so you can give all of yourself. I don’t know a better man than this one, and he saved my life; literally,” she said.

To many people, the relationship was what a perfect union looked like and what they wished for themselves. And following the announcement, many asked the pair to solve their problems while others said they understood how separating from someone felt like.
“I understand how hard it is for Sibu just as it’s hard for you, but sometimes you really need to take care of yourself before you hurt him even further. I admire your courage, and I wish you healing,” said Thato.
Then Yoli said: “I totally understand Buhle and Sibu breaking up. It was really beautiful watching their relationship and more than anything, they were great friends. Their love was gentle and kind. I really respect the decision they took, no matter how hard it was.”
