Maye was married to Errol Musk, an engineer, in 1970. She met him in high school and was a high school sweetheart.
The couple were happy together and even had three children between them. However, things started to fall apart, and the two got divorced in 1979.
While her former husband married his second wife, Heide-Mari Bezuidenhout, after the divorce and has two children with her, Maye is still happily single.
Initially, Maye took care of her children in South Africa, but her eldest son moved to Canada to be with his father. After four years of this, her middle son also moved to Canada to be with his brother.

Career
