Meet our pick of the hottest couples of 2016
THE world of entertainment and celebrity has had its fair share of drama this year, from break-ups to make-ups, public feuds, red carpet malfunctions, Twitter meltdowns and more. We have decided to round up the best news from 2016, starting with this year’s hottest couples. These couples made the headlines for all the right reasons (for the most part) and showed the industry and fans why they are so successful. There is no denying this couple isn’t just one of Mzansi’s hottest couples, but one of Africa’s. When Kieran Forbes and Bonang Matheba confessed their undying love, it was not without controversy. Bonang was accused of stealing AKA from his then-girlfriend, DJ Zinhle.
Despite the negativity they met, and constant social media outbursts, they have overcome their hurdles. Bonang is a model, presenter and self-confessed “host with the most”, while AKA is an award-winning rapper.
It was recently reported that the couple’s combined net worth is more than R13 million. That is a hefty sum when you consider how hard South African celebrities have to work just to make R1 million. They have certainly proved the naysayers wrong and have gone on to flourish in their relationship, even winning Couple of the Year at the You Spectacular Awards. Ah, young love, isn’t it just beautiful! We can’t get enough of DJ Zinhle and her new man. We were all sad when she took to her blog, “Moments by DJ Zinhle”, to announce that she and her baby daddy (AKA) had spilt back in September last year. Now she has moved on and found love again, in Brendon.
When rumours started circulating of her new man, we all played the guessing game and most of us failed. It wasn’t until photographers found her snuggling up to her “Mr Bond”, as she calls him, that she came clean. Brendon is the chief executive of Apogee Empire Management and studied financial economics at the London School of Economics and Social Science. Just like his high-end watch designer girlfriend, he loves watches and has expensive tastes.
We love Zinhle’s Snapchat videos of the two of them on date night. They look ridiculously cute together. We particularly love this powerhouse couple. They have been married for six years now and have two kids together. According to Mbali, she wasn’t really feeling Black Coffee when he first started pursuing her. We are glad she changed her mind about him. Black Coffee is an international award-winning DJ, and Mbali is a model and actress. It only makes sense that they kill it on every red carpet they step onto. First off, congrats to this beautiful couple on the arrival on their first child. Nandi and Zakes have mostly kept their relationship out of the public eye, but it’s a little difficult to hide a baby bump, and it was their pregnancy that got fans excited.
She is a singer and television host while he is an award-winning DJ and music producer. See why this relationship works? Ever since their relationship went public last year, this couple have been serving us relationship goals with every Instagram picture they post. They are both drop-dead gorgeous, love keeping fit and, most importantly, they slay us on Instagram. Not much is known about Shawn except that he loves Amanda and is very romantic. He recently spoiled her to a weekend getaway for their anniversary.
