Itumeleng Khune’s Triumph on the Pitch and the Unwavering Support from His Wife, Sphelele
Kaizer Chiefs’ goalkeeper and captain, Itumeleng Khune, marked his return to the pitch with a stellar performance, securing a victory for his team in the Black Label Cup against Stellenbosch with a scoreline of 2-1 on Saturday, January 6.As Khune celebrated his triumphant comeback, the spotlight shifted momentarily to his personal life, with his wife, Sphelele, responding to a troll’s attempt to draw comparisons between her and Khune’s ex-girlfriend, Minnie Dlamini.
Khune and Sphelele, who have been a couple since 2019 and share two daughters, have maintained a strong and supportive relationship. The couple often shares glimpses of their life together on social media, showcasing their love and commitment.Despite facing a recent club suspension due to misconduct, Khune’s return to the field was met with admiration from fans, including his wife, who took to Instagram to express her pride in the club captain.
In the midst of the positive comments, a troll took an unpleasant jab, insinuating that Khune’s relationship with Sphelele would meet the same fate as his previous one with Minnie Dlamini. Initially brushing it off with laughing emojis, Sphelele eventually responded assertively, questioning the commenter, “Are you God?”
Khune, who has transitioned from his days as a celebrity bachelor to embracing family life, has previously dated well-known personalities like Minnie Dlamini, Sbahle Mpisane, and Ntombi Mzolo. However, his focus has shifted towards his current family of four, with Sphelele being a constant pillar of support.
Acknowledging Khune’s dedication to family life, a follower commended him on being a family man in a recent post, to which Khune replied with a simple yet heartfelt, “Amen to that.”
As Khune continues to make headlines on and off the pitch, the love and support from his wife, Sphelele, remain a prominent and uplifting aspect of his personal journey.
