Celebrities often date and marry their fellow public figures. We suppose that at some level it is just easier to be understood by someone who faces the same pressures of public life that you do. Even so some celebrities after having a few failed public relationships usually opt for someone less popular.
These famous Mzansi men found love with women who are much less famous than they are, and have been making it work. Today we celebrate our favourite male ZAlebs and the lovely ladies behind the scenes of their lives.
A-Reece
Rapper A-Reece had to top this list because of the shocker he recently dealt Mzansi. It was revealed that he was married, and just from the reactions of his fans, he had to be first here.
Despite the fact that he has posted her on his Instagram at least twice none of his fans knew anything about him being married. But these seem to be the perfect circumstances for A-Reece. He is not exactly a fan of the spotlight himself, so it worked out great that he ended up with a woman who is lowkey as well.
Siya Kolisi
Professional rugby player Siya Kolisi first met his wife Rachel at a dinner party in Stellenbosch in 2012. She is a humanitarian and business owner. And although she has risen to some measure of fame, it is largely because she is married to Siya.
The two have built a beautiful life together. They have two kids together, and also live with and raise Siya's two half siblings from his late mother. They also started the Kolisi Foundation, which provides resources to underprivileged communities in Mzansi.

Kabza De Small
Kabza De Small is a new husband, and we are all pretty excited for his new family on this journey. In October 2021, he finally paid lobola for his long-term girlfriend Kamogelo Geloo Moropa.
He shared a picture of them together for the first time recently, attracting Mzansi's congratulations. Fans felt that she seemed to be a good, stable woman for him. And although they keep their relationship private, it is clear that they are a power couple, considering how long they have been together so far.
Andile Mpisane
Andile Mpisane is another new husband on the block. He recently shocked the country when he married Tamia Louw, an Instagram influencer and model. And although she had both titles and was a law student already, it's marrying into the affluent reality family that made her a household name.
The couple recently celebrated their "one month anniversary", revealing that they had been together for 9 months prior to getting married. And even though she had been introduced to the spotlight, Tamia Mpisane still keeps a relatively low profile, keeping her life away from prying eyes.
Lungile Radu
Love Lives Here actor Lungile Radu really manifested one of the greatest love stories by being on the show; love actually lives in his house. After dating for 18 years, he finally married the love of his life Bobo Mokgoro, and the couple has never looked back.
Bobo has been a supportive wife since they got married in 2015, and possibly for the 18 years they were together before. But she still keeps her life on the down low. Her Instagram page is private, and she has only 2,514 followers on the platform.
Sello Maake Ka Ncube
Generations veteran star Sello Maake Ka Ncube had a rather dramatic divorce from his ex wife Palesa Mboweni in 2015, after only eight months in marriage. But he found love again, and he and his new wife Pearl Mpho Mbewe are the ultimate couple goals now.
The couple is set to have a big wedding soon, even though they are already married. Pearl is a brand ambassador for numerous organization, but still remains a relatively private person, with just a little over 8000 followers on Instagram.

Vusi Nova
Vusi Nova aka Snova recently revealed his girlfriend, but the couple is so lowkey that we don't even know how long they've been together. In fact, other than the occasional Instagram post singing her praises, he posts her so rarely that people often forget about her.
She is known mostly by her Instagram handle which also happens to be the name of her website, Snob With A Blog. Regardless of how private they are, on the rare occasions they post each other's photos, they seem to have a happy, low-key but mutually loving and respectful relationship.
