Sonia and Matthew Booth have officially divorced. The news marks the end of their marriage, which had been followed closely by the public due to their prominence in South African sports and entertainment.
Sonia Booth, a well-known businesswoman and author, and Matthew Booth, a former professional soccer player, had been married for several years and were considered a high-profile couple in South Africa. The announcement of their divorce signals a new chapter for both individuals as they move forward separately.
Divorces, especially those involving public figures, often attract significant media attention. Both Sonia and Matthew are likely to receive support from their fans and communities as they navigate this transition.
Matthew was the subject of cheating allegations with the now divorced Bongani Mthombeni-Möller who was married at the time. Matthew and Bongani made headlines in 2022 when his ex-wife Sonia exposed the scandalous affair that played out publicly on social media after the soccer star baked a cheesecake for her in the middle of the night. Though Matthew and Bongani denied the affair at first, they made things official last year by sharing snaps of them being cosy, travelling together, and attending events together.
Sonia had previously told ZiMoja she suffered a lot from Matthew’s infidelity, which she said started more than a decade ago. She said then: “Saying I was horrified is a lie because I dealt with many women, especially around 2012 when he was living at our Cape Town property playing for Ajax Cape Town
