Basetsana Kumalo: I married my best friend

Basetsana Khumalo

A couple that has us screaming #RelationshipGoals is Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo. The two business and media personalities celebrated 15 years of marriage last year and they are still head over heels in love.

In a recent interview with Anele Mdoda on Real Talk with Anele, the media mogul said she married her best friend.

“I married an incredible human being – who’s kind, who’s loving, he’s a present father to his kids. And him and my dad got on like a house on father, and they often say that you do marry your father…I truly did, and I have.”

She added that her hubby is a sharp dresser, has a good sense of humor, is good looking and of course, intelligent. “I’m just a blessed girl.”

Bassie is also proud of the fact that she married someone who is confident and comfortable in his own skin.

“And he often says to me I’m just here to be the wind beneath your wings, and to help you soar to what you were already called to do. I’m just here to hopefully just propel you to the next level. And that for me goes a long way to have a strong black man who’s comfortable to see his wife succeed, his wife goes forward and hopefully trail blaze in the process.” she told Anele

Awww…this is one inspiring relationship.
