10 SA Female Celebrities Who Handled Their Break-Up Like A Boss

Breaking up is ever easy, especially when the two people involved are in the public eye.

Splitting from someone is bad enough, without continuous press intrusion, media interest and individuals on Twitter picking apart every outfit you put on, every selfie you take and even the facial expressions you create in TV interviews.

The following 10 SA female celebrities have come out stronger despite the scrutiny their divorces and break-ups are put through.
