Before he became Chrishell Stause's boyfriend and then ex, Keoikantse 'Keo' Motsepe was a South African prince representing his country in international Latin Ballroom dance. He was a champion for eight straight years. If that was not enough, he joined ABC's 'Dancing With The Stars' as the first black pro dancer. Clearly, he has an impressive resume and even better-looking financials. 

Born in Pretoria and raised in nearby Johannesburg, Keo started early. At just age five he picked up an interest in dancing and had begun participating in local competitions. It wasn't until 2012 that his first big break came along. He was invited to join the internationally acclaimed dance group Burn the Floor, and the same year he auditioned for 'DWTS' and was selected to join the team as one of the pro dancers.

When not owning the dance floor, Keo is up on the stage polishing his acting skills. He loves good theatre and has been a part of several plays over the years. On his own time, he writes and sings and whips up interesting recipes in the kitchen. Wholesome. A Celebrity Net Worth report claims, he has a net worth of $300,000.

But we guess that was not enough for Stause who addressed her breakup with Keo on Instagram on February 26, Friday. She called him a "liar" after fresh reports claimed that Keo was 100% into the relationship and wanted to make it work. Stause, in her defense, said that she wanted to make the split as "drama-free" as possible but she probably had a change of heart when an insider told People: "Keo is heartbroken. He enjoyed his time with Chrishell and was 100 percent in it." The source continued, "He's had a tough time with his mom's passing, but he really wanted to make his relationship with Chrishell last." 

Chrishell Stause's Instagram Story

The couple dated for three months and in that short time it seemed they were going for something long-term given the vacation photos and Christmas PDA they had going on on social media. Although, the reason for their split is not known, Stause seems unapologetic about sharing her version of the story. In a series of Instagram stories, the 'Selling Sunset' star assured her followers that she had done her research and confirmed the facts before posting online. 

Keo is yet to share his version of the split. He has gone quiet on the photo-blogging site and unlike his ex, Keo decided to keep their pictures on the feed. One of the recent posts is a glamorous shot of Stause which he uploaded with an endearing Valentine's Day wish. "I love you baby. Happy Valentine's Day." The post also has a comment from Stause that is nothing but a few kiss emojis.
