Hannon and Julius – Everything but glam

The couple's relationship has been filled with claims of abuse and cheating.


While their marriage appeared to be filled with glitz and glamour, Hannon Bothma and his husband, Julius Swart’s relationship of thirty years is coming to a drama-filled crumbling end.

In February, The Citizen reported that the couple had released a statement about their decision to file for divorce.

According to an in-depth interview with Glam Guru Hannon in Huisgenoot, the couple have yet to file papers, though. But that doesn’t mean the situation comes without its drama. In fact, it comes with a lot more than you might think.

An emotional roller-coaster for Hannon and Julius

The one moment, Hannon and Julius were planning a 30-year anniversary party for 300 guests and the next, Julius had an assault charge against Hannon and Hannon had a court order against Julius, restricting him from accessing their bedroom and their shared walk-in closet.

(According to Rapport‘s source, Hannon wants to ask the court to restrict Julius from wearing Hannon’s shoes and to allow Hannon to have first choice with regards to outfits they might want to wear on the same day).

According to Hannon’s interview with Huisgenoot, Julius had been acting strange since January, while Julius told Rapport that he is “completely okay” and that he is himself again for the first time in years.
