Their white wedding took place later that year on September 16 at the Lourensford Wine Estate, Somerset West in Cape Town.
In October 2017, Dlamini detailed how she met her husband in an Interview on Jacaranda FM.
“I met my husband seven years ago [2010] when we both worked at Urban Brew Studios, he wasย much senior than me and I was an assistant runner or something, and he honestly became my best friend,” she said.
According to her, the friendship grew stronger and stronger, but they were never single at the same time.
“Then a couple of years ago we were both single, and he was like, ‘why don’t we give it a shot?’ I was like, ‘no that’s weird’. ‘He was like no one knows you like me, and no one knows me like you,” she said.
Thereafter, they were together for a year, however, it was not official.
“So for a year we were together but weren’t official. Then he took me on holiday and asked me to be his girlfriend. And I was like, I really like you,” she said.
The pair have been madly in love and happy as ever since then.
