We love our local celebrity couples, right? And, top of that, we’re always rooting for them! One of our favourite famous couples Phumeza Mdabe and Shota keep showing us that love truly does conquer everything. The lovebirds have faced many challenges over the years, including their son’s cancer diagnosis. However, they’re still out here serving real couple goals.
The couple was on Afternoon Express recently, where they spoke about how they met and their son Mpilo’s cancer journey.
“We met in 2007, I was looking for a record deal. I went to Universal Music… Universal Records, they loved my voice and they were like ‘okay, let’s hook you up with a producer’ and they introduced me to Shota, Phumeza said on the SABC 3 show.
So, was it love at first sight?
Well, when asked if they fell in love immediately, they both said no.
Shota said: “The first time I met her I was a bit disturbed because I was swamped with work, and she was late.” The musician said he said he thought she was “one of those” girls. But eventually, we got along.
In one of her Instagram posts from a few months back, Phumeza described her husband as her strength.
“Still today, you are my strength when I don't have any,” she captioned the image.
There’s no doubt that these two will be together for a long time.
