Gayton McKenzie: Who is minister’s wife, baby mamas?
Gayton McKenzie has previously admitted to having ‘8 children with 6 women’ and being a notorious cheater. Who is he married to?
Minister of Sports, Art, and Culture Gayton McKenzie has sensationally revealed that he has fathered eight children with six different women. He’s also admitted to being a “player” when it comes to relationships.
But, who are the women behind the outspoken politician, and has he finally settled down?
‘8 KIDS WITH 6 WOMEN’
In an old clip doing the rounds on social media, Gayton McKenzie admitted to having a philandering past.
In it, Gayton – appearing in 2015 before he pursued politics as a full-time venture – spoke to Leanne Manas on Morning Live about his book titled The Uncomfortable Truth.
The book was written from the former convict’s experiences with love, casual sex, and relationships.
“I’ve got eight kids with six different women. Those were in my player days…in my very naughty days”, he told a surprised Leanne.
However, he added that despite the unconventional dynamic, he was not an absent father.
“Their surnames are all McKenzie; I look after all my kids.”
Gayton added that the book was filled with words of advice for women, including his three daughters. He added, “I want to leave them much more than money. I want them to be different. I don’t want them to be played like I played women.”
GAYTON MCKENZIE: WHO IS HIS WIFE, BABY MAMAS?
In 2003, Gayton McKenzie – then a convicted armed robber – made headlines after he wed his lawyer Nicolette Joubert.
This came after Nicolette was sent to investigate Gayton and others’ allegations of corruption at the Grootvlei Prison involving prison gangs, warders, and inmates. The expose became international news, and Gayton was named one of the “Grootvlei Four.”
The couple had two daughters together.
A decade later, Gayton hinted that he had wronged his wife, who he had since divorced.
He tweeted: “I hurt my ex-wife indescribably, but a bad word about me will never be heard by strangers or our kids, sheer class always.”

In an interview with MacG on Podcast and Chill last year, Gayton revealed that he was now single. He also confirmed that he had been unfaithful in his marriage.
He said: “I’m not married, I was, and I cheated in my marriage a lot. I realised that this is not me.”
Gayton did not reveal the identities of any of his other baby mamas.
When MacG asked him for marriage advice, Gayton responded, while laughing: “I’m the worst person to ask.”
He added: “Respect is what you should always have. Once you lose it, you have no relationship”.
