South African actor Atandwa Kani has sparked considerable intrigue among fans with an Instagram post featuring a new romantic interest.
The son of renowned theatre legend John Kani and known for his role in “Black Panther”, Kani shared a heartfelt image of himself embracing a mystery woman against a stunning backdrop of a desert sunset in Abu Dhabi.
The simple yet evocative caption, “Finally, I’m home,” instantly drew the attention of followers, leading them to speculate about who this new addition to his life might be.
The response from Kani’s social media circle has been a mix of joy, curiosity, and playful banter.
One commenter, @maxolikhuzwayo, jested, “Bathong mhlekazi. How are we supposed to see your home, kumnyama (it’s dark) nje 😢.”
Another user, @thamzaa, cheekily asked, “Akekho one app yokukhanyisa ugesi? Does anyone have an app to turn the lights on?”
As the comments poured in, Kani’s admirers expressed their support for his romantic pursuits.
User @nomonde_dlova praised him, stating, “I love that you never give up on love, Ata, you are such a lover boy and I’m here for all of it.”
Similarly, @only.primy noted, “One thing about you, when you love you openly it’s admirable ❤ ️🔥👏.”
At 41 years old, Kani has a storied romantic history, having previously been married twice.
He was married to actress Fikile Mthwalo in 2015, a relationship that surprised many as the pair wed shortly after connecting on the set of the show “It’s Complicated”.
However, in 2023, after eight years together, they announced their divorce.
Before Mthwalo, Kani was also married to media personality Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo, but their union ended in 2015 after three years.
Despite these challenges in love, Kani’s career continues to thrive as he is nominated for Next Rated Male Movie Star of the Year at the 7th Africa Choice Awards, which celebrates Africa’s finest in entertainment and culture.
His busy schedule keeps him engaged with various projects while travelling the globe.
