Tshepi posted the wonderful news on her Instagram account, flaunting her stunning ring and captioning the post with the cow, wedding ring, love and rose emojis to hint that she is now officially married.
In the pictures she shared online, JR looked laid back in a light blue long-sleeved shirt and navy pants with sneakers, while Tshepi dressed aptly for a traditional lobola ceremony with a Makoti attire.

As he always does, JR put on a wry smile, and Tshepi’s was more jubilant and infectious.
After posting the lovely photos, South Africans, including celebrities like Boity Thulo, DJ Zinhle, Duma Nthando, Thando Thabethe and Kwesta’s wife, Yolanda Vilakazi, shared heartwarming congratulatory messages in the comments section.

Social media users speculated that the couple was engaged earlier this year after Vundla was spotted donning a ring. She, however, refuted the rumours, explaining that it was just a pandora ring.
Last year, Tshepi was incensed by social media trolls, who kept asking about the nature of her relationship with the entrepreneur and Idols SA judge.
MacG interviewed JR on Podcast And Chill in July 2021, and the musician referred to his relationship with Vundla as a loving union. MacG had asked if he would be correct to refer to their arrangement as “vat en sit” (living together).
