Mzbel Shares How She Married Twice and Got Divorced Without Family Knowing

• Mzbel has explained that she was married and divorced twice, unbeknownst to her family and fans
• Her first marriage, when she was around 22 years old, allegedly ended due to the abuse she suffered
• Mzbel, who was speaking about Afua Asantewaa, said divorce was part of life's journey, not a failure

Mzbel has disclosed that she has been married and divorced twice, with neither her family nor the public aware of either union until now.

The ace Ghanaian musician disclosed that both marriages had occurred earlier in her life, but ultimately ended in divorce both times.

She shared this while addressing issues surrounding relationships and public perceptions about marriage, with Afua Asantewaa's recent marital troubles as the case study.

Speaking on United Showbiz on April 4, 2026, Mzbel narrated the struggles of her first marriage.

She said she was very young when she married a man much older than her, explaining that he had helped her a lot at the time.

"I've been married twice and divorced twice, but nobody, including my family, knows. I was very young at the time, and this person was 28 years older than me.

"He did everything for me. That was even before I started music, and I was around 22 at that time," she said.

Mzbel alleged that her first marriage collapsed largely because her then-husband subjected her to abuse after she peaked in her musical career.

According to the 16 Years hitmaker, minor things such as receiving text messages would provoke her then-husband into physically assaulting her.

"And because he helped me, I didn't hesitate when he brought up marriage. He wanted to involve my family, but I disapproved because of my age, and I knew the family would have opposed. We got married later, but I left him after my career had peaked because he became abusive," Mzbel claimed.

Mzbel says marriage not measure of success

The mother of two said she eventually saved enough money to become financially independent and left the marriage.

About her second marriage, the musician stated that although she had divorced, the experience remained private.
