Netflix's Love Never Lies: South Africa continues its journey with new episodes released on December 6, 2024. Six couples navigate the challenges of trust and fidelity. Hosted by Minnie Dlamini, the show uses an eye-scanning lie detector to uncover secrets, rewarding honesty and penalizing lies with financial stakes.
In episode 7, the couples prepared for their final test by addressing unresolved issues that had tested their relationships. Clayton Mitchell and Wilfred Adonis reflected on their time in the experiment in a confessional. Wilfred acknowledged their rocky start, saying,
"We started off with lies. I really hope that Clayton has grown in that aspect."
Clayton expressed his desire for reassurance, saying,
"I need Wilfred to give me reassurance that he loves me and he's with me because he wants to be with me."
Clayton and Wilfred faced challenges even before Love Never Lies: South Africa
Clayton and Wilfred entered the show Love Never Lies: South Africa after one year and eight months together, determined to resolve the insecurities and jealousy that had affected their relationship. For Clayton, this was his first serious partnership, and he admitted it took time to adapt to exclusivity.
Their journey was marked by challenges, including Clayton's confession of infidelity early in their relationship. Though Wilfred chose to forgive him, trust remained low, according to Clayton. Wilfred revealed he was hurt when Clayton continued speaking with an ex despite assurances to the contrary, a revelation that further strained their trust.
During the lie detector rounds, Clayton showed reluctance to fully admit forgiveness for Wilfred's past mistakes, fearing it might encourage differences between them. Meanwhile, Wilfred struggled with his doubts about Clayton’s interactions with others, leading to tension between them. In the finale, Clayton said:
"I won't do anything that like, makes him feel any type of way. I won't flirt with people, because it's me and you now."
Despite these challenges, their connection deepened as the experiment progressed in Love Never Lies: South Africa. Wilfred admitted he had plans to propose but hesitated due to constant doubts. On the other hand, Clayton spoke about his role in making Wilfred fight for their relationship and expressed commitment to improving their bond.
Wilfred and Clayton's future remains hopeful in the finale of Love Never Lies: South Africa
As the Love Never Lies: South Africa season concluded, it was evident that the couple’s dedication to working through their issues had strengthened their relationship. Living together in Cape Town allowed them to focus on their bond without the strain of long distance. Their continued presence in each other's lives on social media, including shared posts, hints at a lasting connection.
In the finale, Clayton and Wilfred expressed their desire to be together, reaffirming their commitment. When asked by the lie detector if Clayton would like to settle down with Wilfred, he answered "yes," and it was confirmed to be truthful. The pair embraced warmly, and Clayton suggested that they could simply move in together if Wilfred preferred.
Playfully, Clayton asked Wilfred if he would marry him, to which Wilfred responded with a "yes." Host Minnie Dlamini responded, "That was quick." Reflecting on confessionals, Wilfred shared,
"This is how it’s supposed to feel. It feels like home," with Clayton agreed and said, "This feels like home. Most definitely."
