Since the rapper claimed that he was married, the question that many South Africans continue to ask is who is Jub Jub’s wife? Long after he stated that he had tied the knot, the question is still begging for answers among many of his fans and countrymen who are still yet to forget the unfortunate and sad manner in which his relationship with Sensational singer and actress, Kelly Khumalo ended and the bad blood that still remains between them, even though they have a son together.
Many things about the South African Hip Hop artist have attracted much attention for the very wrong reasons in the past, including his conviction following the killing of school children in an accident which was as a result of his carelessness and his aforementioned relationship with Kelly Khumalo. However, he rose from the dirt and now seems to have a stable life and a love life that is believed to be moving just fine, even though there are many things still yet to understand about the relationship.
A Quick Look At Who Jub Jub Is
The rapper was born Melomo Maarohanye on 20th June 1980 in Soweto, Orlando East South Africa. His parents are Jackie Maarohanye (Father) and Raisibe Ramohola (Mother) and has four siblings. He is an actor, entrepreneur and reality show host. He attended La Guardia High School for the Performing Arts in Manhattan New York, United States.

Probably as a result of his past experiences, Jub Jub has made sure to keep his relationship private away from the media and public. The rapper has revealed that he is now a married man, but his wife remains a mystery.
The speculation, however, is that her name is Zenith Mia, and she is a beautiful Italian brunette. The two love birds are said to have met during a program organized by the correctional services while he was in prison. “It was love at first sight,” said the international artist while letting the cat out of the bag. Jub Jub denied having a girlfriend; he said “I am a married man”.
Even with that, there is still yet to be any official records to show that he is married, but he insists that he has walked down the aisle. While he keeps her identity secret, she also does not like the limelight, and she prefers a simple and loving life with her prince charming.
Jub Jub claims she stood by him relentlessly during his lowest point in 2010, while he was serving time in prison and works with him now at Rare Breed Entertainment Company and Record Label. They are not only couples but also business partners. She featured after his performance at a show in the rural Free State. Jub Jub and Zenith are living with his mother Jackie Maarohanye (who was controversially accused of selling babies and running an illegal Orphanage) at her home in Naturena, south of Johannesburg South Africa. The family doesn’t speak about their private lives and keep to themselves.
Kelly Khumalo Almost Became Jub Jub’s Wife
There was a time when many South Africans believed the woman that would be Jub Jub’s wife was Kelly Khumalo. The two started dating towards the late 2000s when they were both much younger and making waves in the entertainment industry.
Although many had thought at the time that the relationship was perfect, it later turned out to be the very opposite even though Khumalo stood beside Jub during his trial. She revealed that she suffered physical abuse at the hands of the rapper for a very long time before the relationship finally came to an end. When he first started abusing her, it caught her by surprise because before then, he was very loving and caring.
Things took turn for the worse that when she became pregnant for him for the first time, she suffered a miscarriage due to the abuse. She claimed that she tried to leave him, but love kept pulling her back. In once instance, she brought the matter to the public so that it would prevent her from returning to him, but she still later did.
The singer took in for Jub Jub for a second time, leading to the birth of their son, Christian before Jub Jub was sent to jail. Although he would deny most of Khumalo’s claims, she did not allow him access to his son, stating that he did not make any effort at contacting him, another claim that Jub Jub said was a lie.

Kelly Khumalo Has Another Child
Just as Jub Jub has moved on with his love life, so also has Kelly Khumalo, although she has not moved away from controversies. She started a relationship with the late Orlando Pirates goalie, Senzo Meyiwa. What made this relationship highly controversial was the fact that Senzo was married and had a child with his wife at the time.
More so, there were claims that the goalie was warned against having anything to do with the singer but it did not stop him. In 2014, he was killed in the house of Khumalo’s parents. Years down the line, his killers are still not found.
Shortly before the death of Senzo, he welcomed a daughter, Thingo with Kelly Khumalo.
