WHEN they announced their divorce in February, Minnie Dlamini and Quinton Jones insisted they would “remain friends and business partners” despite their split.

But it seems the estranged couple are now singing a different tune. A recent report suggest Dlamini and Jones’s profession­al partnershi­p is also on the rocks.

According to Sunday World, Jones has decided to exit from their joint business venture, Beautiful Day Production, as the divorce proceeding­s continue.

It is said Dlamini owns the majority shares, 75%, while Jones owns a 25% stake in the company.

The Homeground presenter shocked her 4.7million followers when she revealed the split from her television producer husband.

In the joint statement shared on Dlamini’s Instagram page, the former couple said despite their “best efforts” they were unable to save their four-year union.

“In the last 2 years, our family has experience­d incredible joy and devastatin­g loss. During this time, we found comfort in knowing we had each other. Despite our better efforts to absorb the changes in motion, the emotional burden and the posttrauma­tic distress of our individual loss outweighed our will.”

They married in a lavish wedding in September 2017 on a wine farm in Somerset West. They documented their journey in a three-part wedding special Becoming Mrs Jones, which was streamed on Showmax and later on DStv’s Mzansi Magic.

In 2020, Dlamini gave birth to their first son, Netha Makhosini Jones.
