On Saturday, former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi exchanged vows with Luthando Bolowana in a private wedding ceremony at the picturesque Belair Pavilion in Paarl.
A day later, she took to Instagram to share the unexpected news, posting stunning pictures from the special occasion with a heartfelt caption: “I love you endlessly… Husband.”
Known for keeping her personal life out of the spotlight, Tunzi had kept her relationship with Bolowana largely private.
However, the couple offered a rare glimpse into their love story through their online wedding website, as reported by Sowetan Live.
Bolowana described himself as a very relaxed, loving and outgoing person.
“I love spending quality time with my wife. She’s a homebody, so I enjoy movie nights with her. We’re big fans of the Marvel universe, and Game of Thrones is our favourite show to watch together,” he shared.
He also revealed his passion for sports, particularly his loyalty to Manchester United.
“I love sports and, unfortunately, suffer alongside the red side of Manchester. I’m a huge Man United fan. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends over drinks, mostly brainstorming business ideas and offering each other guidance.”
Tunzi, on the other hand, admitted that her favourite pastime at home is unwinding with her now-husband—often persuading him to watch her latest reality TV obsession.
“I’ve also been trying to get him into anime, but he insists on calling it cartoons—so no progress there yet,” she joked.
Other than what is shared on their wedding website, it appears Bolowana keeps a very low profile as there's no public information about him.
He doesn't have any social media accounts either.
For her big day, Tunzi dazzled in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown adorned with intricate 3D embroidery.
Designed by Vietnamese fashion designer Phan Huy, the figure-hugging masterpiece took three months to create, requiring over 700 hours of meticulous craftsmanship.
The gown’s 3D floral branches were handcrafted by a team of four artisans and embellished with more than 14 types of beads and stones.
A host of local celebrities, including Connie Ferguson, Nomzamo Mbatha, Basetsana Kumalo, and Anele Mdoda, attended the exclusive celebration.
Guests, respecting the couple’s privacy, only shared glimpses of the wedding on social media after Tunzi made the official announcement.
