On June 10, 2022, the talented musician was in the news again after a source revealed that Lennox and her boyfriend, Reality TV Star Keith Manley had allegedly gone their separate ways. 

The news stunned many fans as the duo appeared so in love in photos plastered on the internet the week before.

Lennox and Manley are yet to comment on their alleged split. But in the meantime, the former is in “good spirits” while focusing on her upcoming sophomore album and four BET Award nominations.  Manley is no different, as his career is his topmost priority at the moment.

WHO IS KEITH MANLEY?

Keith Manley is a 31-year-old Reality TV star best known for appearing in the ninth season of the reality TV series “Married At First Sight.” It’s been over two years since he was seen on the show, and fans wonder what the young man has been up to. 

Well, the answer is that Manley has been doing great. As of 2021, he had about 173 thousand followers on Instagram and had a partnership with toothpaste brand Oral B. In addition, the young star also released a book titled “Life Is Just …: A Walk Within.” 

The memoir details his experiences as a mentor to inner-city children and information about his time in “Married At First Sight.”

WHAT HAPPENED TO KEITH MANLEY AND IRIS CALDWELL? 

“Married At First Sight” is a reality series where a group of singles agrees to marry partners chosen for them by a team of relationship experts. For Manley, his love match was Iris Caldwell, whom he married in March 2019.

Caldwell was beautiful and shared similar religious and cultural backgrounds with Manley, so building a steady and strong connection was not an issue. 

However, there was one problem, Caldwell was a virgin, which made Manley believe she lacked emotional maturity and relationship experience.

But it was not a problem to Caldwell, as she was ready to give her all Manley. Eventually, the couple had sex, and their relationship got even better. 

Unfortunately, on the decision day when the duo was to choose between staying married or getting a divorce, Manley shockingly chose the latter, while Caldwell decided to remain married.

Although Caldwell was hurt, she decided to move on with her life. During a question and answer section on Instagram in November 2019, Caldwell revealed that the last time she saw Manley was during the reunion in September 2019.

She also made it known that they had not yet divorced because the State of North Carolina, where they married, required a one-year separation period before filing for the “no-fault divorce.” 

Caldwell also confessed that if allowed to appear in another season of the series, she would take the opportunity.
