Brace yourselves for the most thrilling and heartfelt show to hit your screens! This July, Mzansi Magic introduces XO Goals, an addictive 13-part reality series that takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the trials and triumphs of three unforgettable couples.
Premiering on Sunday 2 July, XO Goals will capture viewers with its raw emotions, unexpected twists, and the pursuit of the ultimate couple goals.
First up, meet Simphiwe and Kedibone, a same-sex couple with a shared history of unresolved pain. Simphiwe tragically lost her ex-fiancé to illness, while Kedibone suffered a heart-breaking miscarriage. Determined to overcome their trust and jealousy issues, they have set their sights on having a baby this year. Will they heal their past wounds and insecurities. Can Kedibone find the trust she needs to embark on this challenging motherhood chapter?
Next, we have Tracy and Siphelele, a couple whose love blossomed from the depths of their shared pain. Tracy survived a traumatic assault in her teenage years, while Siphelele struggled as an orphan. After 13 years together, their goal is to escape Siphelele's toxic maternal home and create a peaceful sanctuary of their own. Can Tracy's love and determination save their relationship? Will Siphelele overcome his past and provide the stable environment their children deserve?
Tebogo and Nathi's story is one of resilience and newfound love. Tebogo found salvation in Nathi and now trying to overcome their turbulent past, the recently married couple faces the challenge of gaining acceptance from disapproving family members. With their dream wedding ending in disaster, Tebogo and Nathi yearn for a second chance to mend family wounds and rewrite their love story. Will they conquer the obstacles and find happiness?
Shirley Adonisi, director for local entertainment channels at M-Net, expressed her excitement about the show's inclusion in the new Sunday line-up.

XO Goals wouldn't be complete without the guidance of expert mentors. Bakhe Dlamini, a renowned relationship expert and marriage therapist, joins forces with Gogo Dineo Ndlanzi, an African spiritual teacher, sangoma, and life coach. Together, they will provide practical wisdom and spiritual guidance to help the couples navigate their personal journeys towards love and fulfilment.
Through intimate conversations, heart-to-heart debriefs, and soul-searching moments, viewers will witness the couples confronting their deepest fears, healing old wounds, and working towards their ultimate relationship goals in pursuit of their happily ever after.
