In a more recent interview with The Times, Radebe responded to his former dance partner’s confession by sharing about their relationship, stating:
“We have gone on to have such a beautiful experience together that it would be a shame if we were not friends after all that.”
“What we agreed is that, regardless of what life throws at us, we will always keep [this friendship] going. ‘We are friends for life’, I always say to him. ‘I know where you live. You cannot get rid of me’. I still speak to him,” he continued.
Moreover, the 36-year-old South African dancer and choreographer, who is openly gay, also admitted that he is now ready to find his own love.
“I want a partner. I want one. I need one. Every aspect of my life is great except for that. I deserve love and I never ever thought that I deserved to be loved in that way,” Radebe expressed.

Why don’t all the dance show let the gay dancers & gay contestants dance with the same sex, ugh I find it pathetic when they pair them to appear “straight”. Glad strictly allowed them to dance together.
