After weathering the storm of losing her husband to a stroke over a year ago, Babes Wodumo is back in the game of love, and this time, it’s heating up. The Gqom queen is reportedly romantically involved with none other than Amapiano artist Sabelo Zuma, popularly known as Zuma in the music industry. The two have been making public appearances together, and from the looks of it, their love flame is burning bright.
Babes Wodumo, born Bongekile Simelane, rose to stardom with her 2016 hit “Wololo” and was previously married to Mandla ‘Mampintsha’ Maphumulo until his untimely passing in December 2022. On the other side of the musical spectrum, Zuma, relatively new to the scene, has swiftly garnered attention with his distinctive fusion of Amapiano and traditional Zulu sounds. His debut album, “Lazaro,” featuring collaborations with other big names, has further solidified his place in the industry.
Rumors about their romantic involvement started circulating late last year when they were first spotted together at a music festival. Since then, the duo has been a regular sighting at various events and parties, showcasing a relationship that seems to be going strong. Despite criticism from some within their social circles regarding their age difference—Babes at 28 and Zuma at 25—the couple appears unfazed.
According to sources, Babes Wodumo took a full year to mourn her late husband before venturing into this new chapter of her life. The couple seems to be resilient in the face of scrutiny, choosing to focus on their shared love and support for each other. They have not officially addressed the criticism but continue to offer glimpses of their relationship to those close to them.
