Khaby Lame divorce rumours spread online claiming asset dispute, but reports confirm the viral settlement story is false.

MILAN: Khaby Lame divorce rumours are blowing up online, but the reality behind the viral claims is very different from what people are sharing.

Social media has been flooded with posts suggesting that the TikTok star’s ex-wife, Wendy Thembelihle Juel, was unable to claim his wealth because his assets were reportedly registered under his father’s name. Some posts even claimed she would have to split her own $10 million assets instead.

Sounds dramatic, but none of it is true.

The Khaby Lame divorce rumours quickly gained traction, with many users praising the influencer for “protecting” his fortune. But there is no verified evidence supporting these claims, and no official confirmation from either side.

What is known is that Khaby, whose real name is Khabane Serigne Lame, married Wendy in a traditional ceremony in Senegal in November 2023. The couple separated in June 2024, with the reason later described as “irreconcilable differences.”

Because the marriage was a religious ceremony, there was no civil divorce process, which also explains why no public settlement details exist.

The Khaby Lame divorce rumours also come at a time when his business moves are making headlines. Earlier in 2026, he reportedly sold his company and AI likeness in a deal worth $975 million, further fuelling speculation about his wealth.

But despite the viral noise, neither Khaby nor Wendy has addressed the claims directly.

For now, the Khaby Lame divorce rumours remain exactly that, rumours, showing once again how fast unverified stories can spread online.
