Just this year alone, a celebrity couple that has had it rough, is Sophie and Max Lichaba. From Sophie's death hoax, to her extreme gaunt figure - these two have had no choice but to grin and bear it.

The Lichabas have only been married for two years but we have read more disheartening news about them than the positive ones.

Oh well, that's about to change as they have reached a sweet two-year mark  wedding anniversary! The former Generations actress bore it all on Instagram and wrote a lengthy and sincere tribute about their marriage.

For the most part, jabs have constantly been thrown at Sophie.

Last month #RIPSophieLichaba was the number one trending topic on Twitter. Unfortunately, this was another nasty rumour as it implied that the actress has passed away when in fact that couldn't be further from the truth.

Avid followers of Sophie Lichaba know all about her diabetes journey. In an interview with True Love Magazine, the mother of three revealed that she had been diagnosed with diabetes and was instructed by doctors to assume her journey to healthy living.

Most people who are diabetic are known to lose quite a substantial amount of weight over time, and Sophie wasn't exempt to this unnerving reality.

A photograph of her new figure soon trended on social media platforms and Tweeps were ruthless in the comments section.

What continues to serve as inspiration is that through it all, the Lichabas have never wavered from their love and commitment to their marriage.
