The actor explained that he didn’t wish to bad mouth his wife, but wanted to set the record straight over reports that represented his character falsely by reporting that he was “controlling.”

Because of this, Sello made the decision that he could not stay in a relationship where he was not being respected. He finally served Palesa with divorce papers.
Sello has got five children Neo, Tsagae, Lindo, Lerato, Onkgopotse, as well as Akhona. He lost his eldest son Mxolisi in a fatal car accident.
