Jessica Nkosi

Cape Town – Award-Winning South African actress and TV presenter, Jessica Nkosi and actor, Ntokozo ‘TK’ Dlamini tied the knot over the weekend, but Nkosi’s paternal parents were reportedly not aware of their nuptials.

According to The Citizen, the couple wore their Zulu attires during their traditional wedding ceremony, Umembeso, on Friday 23, December.

It’s further reported the couple’s wedding was picture-perfect, despite Jessica’s parents not being in attendance for the reception.

According to The South African, Jessica’s paternal parents reportedly did not give their blessings for the marriage. The publisher reports that her parents were shocked when they saw photos of the wedding online.

A source said that she distanced herself from everyone when her family resisted the idea of her marriage to TK.

“We saw it coming that she would not inform us about her wedding. Her maternal family probably accepted the lobola. We haven’t heard from her since the family asked about their relationship. Jessica shares the same clan surname ‘Dlamini’ with TK and the family wasn’t happy about that. According to our tradition, you cannot marry someone that you share the same clan surname with. When they asked her about this, she distanced herself from everyone.”

The source reportedly added that Jessica is not the same person she was before stardom.

“Ayanda is bitter, she was not like this before. She used to be a sweet girl who used to visit us when her father was still alive, but fame got into her head and she abandoned us,” the source was quoted as saying.
