Dalton “Ain’t Worried” Memel and Ntsako “Sako” Mathivha are moving forward with their divorce while agreeing to keep working together on the social-media business they built during their marriage. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the estranged couple will continue recording content for their shared social-media accounts at least twice a week, with every filming session lasting a minimum of four hours.
The unusual arrangement means Dalton and Sako will remain professional partners even as their marriage comes to an end. The temporary court order also sets rules for how they coordinate their filming, manage their shared social-media and financial accounts, and handle business money while the divorce proceedings continue.

Dalton and Sako are divorcing
Dalton and Sako built a large online following by documenting their relationship, marriage and family life across social media. Their joint TikTok account has more than 4 million followers, while their Instagram presence has also attracted a substantial audience.
Dalton publicly confirmed that the couple was divorcing earlier in August. In a video posted through their joint social-media presence, he addressed questions about their relationship and said:
“You know, a lot of people got questions about what’s going on with me and Sako.”
He then answered the question of whether they were still together:
“No, I filed for divorce July 30th.”
Dalton also joked about his situation while appearing with a motorcycle, saying:
“Like any man going through a divorce, I got me a Harley.”
He added:
“So if you want to have a good life, hang out, raise hell, and not have a boss, holler at me.”
When asked where Sako was, Dalton responded:
“That’s a hell of a question because I have no idea.”

Sako also addressed the breakup
Sako subsequently addressed the split herself and said she had left the relationship in July. She also pushed back against allegations circulating online about the reason for the breakup.
According to Dexerto, Sako denied allegations that she had been unfaithful and said that audiences had heard only one side of the story. She declared that she was “never looking back.”
Those statements are important because much of the discussion surrounding the couple’s breakup has taken place on social media, where speculation about their relationship has circulated alongside their own posts.

They will still have to film together
Despite the divorce, the court documents reportedly require the pair to continue producing content for their shared social-media accounts.
The agreement calls for them to film together at least twice a week, with each session lasting no fewer than four hours. That works out to a minimum of eight hours of filming every week.
The arrangement is not simply an informal agreement to occasionally collaborate.
The court documents reportedly state that the pair must agree on the content they intend to record beforehand. They must also coordinate each filming session at least 24 hours in advance.
It remains unclear whether their divorce itself can be incorporated into the content produced during those sessions.
Their existing social-media business has frequently centered on their relationship and family life, including jokes about their cultural differences and videos involving their marriage. That makes the requirement to continue filming together particularly unusual now that they are separated.

Why the filming agreement matters
The eight-hour weekly requirement appears to be connected to the couple’s shared creator business rather than a requirement that they remain romantically involved.
The temporary order keeps their joint content operation functioning while the divorce proceeds. Dexerto reported that the provision is part of an agreement between the two rather than simply a punishment imposed on them by a judge.
In other words, the couple can end their marriage while continuing to operate an online business they built together.
That distinction is important because the filming arrangement does not mean Dalton and Sako have reconciled or decided to remain a couple. They are separated and proceeding with divorce while maintaining certain shared professional obligations.

Their social-media and financial accounts remain shared
The temporary order reportedly goes beyond filming.
Dalton and Sako are required to retain access to their shared social-media and financial accounts. If either person changes a password, the updated login information must be provided to the other.
The order also places restrictions on withdrawals from their business funds.
Neither person can withdraw more than $500 in business money without written approval from the other.
The provisions appear designed to prevent either party from unilaterally taking control of the couple’s shared digital business or its finances while the divorce is pending.

The couple also shares a young son
Dalton and Sako have a son who is nearly two years old.
According to the court-document reporting, the estranged couple agreed to a rotating parenting schedule for their child while their divorce proceeds.
The parenting arrangement is separate from their agreement to continue producing social-media content together.

A very different kind of post-divorce working relationship
The situation is unusual because Dalton and Sako’s professional identity has been closely tied to their relationship.
Rather than completely separating their professional lives after their marriage ended, the temporary arrangement requires them to continue appearing together for their shared content business.
That means the two will have to coordinate filming schedules, agree on what they record and continue managing aspects of their shared online operation even as they navigate the end of their marriage.
For an influencer couple whose business was built around documenting their relationship, the arrangement creates an unusual situation: the marriage is ending, but the content partnership continues.
