They are now parents to two boys, but it is uncertain if they are married.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Big Brother Mzansi Season 1 couple, Mandla and Lexi, popularly referred to as &#8216;MandLexi&#8217;, caught viewers&#8217; attention with their steamy make-out on the reality TV show. And hence, became Big Brother&#8217;s favorite couple. Even though many people expected their romantic affair to hit a downward spiral after the show ended, Mandla and Lexi&#8217;s relationship has stood the test of time and they are currently still together.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mandla and Lexi&#8217;s Big Brother House Whirlwind Romance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On February 2nd, 2014, Mandla and Lexi entered <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/what-is-big-brother-mzansi-all-about\/\">Big Brother Mzansi<\/a> Season 1 house and hit it off from day one. The two caused a stir when they had unprotected sex in the shower in full view of the cameras. They subsequently became popularly known for having constant sexual relations in the Big Brother House.<\/p>\n<p>After her <a href=\"https:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201403310748.html\">eviction<\/a> on March 31st, 2014, as the eighth housemate to leave the show a week before the grand finale, Lexi <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/LexiBBMzansi\/photos\/a.1374794652789785\/1420328271569756\/?type=3\">apologized<\/a> for her thoughtless behavior in the house, especially having unprotected sex with Mandla which she admitted wasn&#8217;t a smart move on her part. While on the show, the couple had breakups every now and then but still managed to convince people that their relationship was complicated and real.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, at the end of the reality show, Mandla Hlatshwayo walked away with the R1 million grand prize, having emerged as the winner of Big Brother Mzansi Season 1. Afterward, he had a nasty breakup with his baby mama and then focused on growing his relationship with his girlfriend, Lexi Van Niekerk.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mKXVohYnPcA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mandla and Lexi&#8217;s Reality TV Series Ran for Two Seasons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A few months after Big Brother ended, many people were shocked to see that Mandla and his girlfriend were still together as they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sowetanlive.co.za\/amp\/sundayworld\/shwashwi\/2014-07-28-spotted-mandla-and-lexi-are-still-together\/\">arrived<\/a> on the red carpet of the M-Net&#8217;s Galaxy of Stars together at Gallagher Convention Centre in <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/15-best-picnic-spots-in-johannesburg\/\">Johannesburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lexi relocated from <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/dating-sites-and-apps-in-cape-town\/\">Cape Town<\/a> to Joburg to be close to her millionaire boyfriend and equally pursue a career in entertainment. And on March 3rd, 2015, the couple <a href=\"https:\/\/southerncourier.co.za\/54986\/mandla-lexis-new-reality-show-set-debut-mzansi-magic\/?amp\">debuted<\/a> their own reality TV series titled, <em>Mandla and Lexi<\/em> on Mzansi Magic.<\/p>\n<p>The five-part series gave their fans an up-close view into their relationship and how they try to make it work, having been so different. While Mandla is cool, calm, and collected, Lexi is a firecracker and the kind of girl you don&#8217;t mess with. The lovebirds brought their hot-cold dynamics before the camera and the audience fell in love with their journey. Thus, the first season of the reality show was well received by the viewers, leading to the renewal of the show for a second season.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mandla and Lexi Season 2<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snl24.com\/dailysun\/news\/entertainment\/mandla-and-lexi-are-back-for-season-2-20160610-2\">premiered<\/a> on Mzansi Magic on July 13th, 2016. Unlike the first season, the second installment had a strong focus on the couple&#8217;s individual lives.
