Schalk Bezuidenhout Announces Divorce From Wife

South African comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout announced his separation from wife, Mica McKechnie, after less than two years of marriage, prompting a wave of supportive messages from fans.

Known for his witty humour and bright sweaters, the 32-year-old comedian shared the news last Friday, 1 November via Instagram.

He posted a list of frequently asked questions to clarify details, humorously answering: “Are you getting divorced? Yes.”

His announcement comes just a week after Siya and Rachel Kolisi’s publicised split, adding to recent heartbreak among South African fans.

Bezuidenhout expressed concern about public reactions after witnessing intense scrutiny surrounding the Kolisis’ divorce. Thinking of his mother, who reads the comments, he requested kindness.

The funnyman was touched by the outpouring of support, noting that followers, friends and strangers alike offered encouraging words, which he acknowledged as invaluable during this difficult time.

“Schalk, at some point in each of your followers’ lives, you’ve made them smile, now it’s our turn to make you smile,” wrote one social media user.
